Hi Tobbe and welcome,
Check out this site and the links too. This will give you a sample of the

Just start slamming pieces together in a humanoid form (there are other
forms like insectoid or animal or monster) and see what you come up with.
Personally I've been working with the Bionicle stuff so you might try that

will give you an idea of what can be built with Technic.

I'm pretty new here myself and I think that there are others that are more

I'm interested to see what you come up with!
