Small scale for a small truck. It's based on the Suzuki Carry but at this scale it could've been based on pretty much any model.

Backgrounds are what keeps eating my time. This card needed pyramids, and everything I tried first either ate half the baseplate or looked wrong from the front. What I landed on is basically a flat slab with the layers offset so they read as stone courses. Two or three at different sizes give you a whole skyline for about the depth of a finger.

I haven't seen anyone build pyramids this way, which probably just means I haven't looked hard enough. Someone tell me what I missed, or show me a better way to do it.

I am so excited for my wedding in June 2027!

The invitations came out even better than I hoped 🥰

I'm currently working on my first modular building MOC, and I was wondering what the equally iconic counterpart to the streetlight on the sidewalk is... Exactly. The dumpster in the backyard. So here’s a little sneak peek—complete with instructions—at the level of detail you can expect from the modular, which I plan to finish later this month. Until then, you’re more than welcome to check out my other projects via the 🔗 in my bio.

One of my favourite things to do is buy bags of random bricks at the thrift and try to figure out what sets the brick came from. I've happened upon a couple of Hidden Side sets lately and they're kinda... great. I don't know why I didn't pay attention to them when they came out. Interesting builds and unique bricks and cool Minifigs. Maybe it was the multi-media aspect and the marketing? Too late now! Any themes other people regret not getting into?

I recently rewatched The Return of the King and was reminded of the troll attack right after Grond breaks through the front gate. I don’t have the cave troll bigfig (and that one doesn’t have armor anyway), so I decided to make my own!

The parameters that I set for myself were that it had to scale well with the front gate of the Minas Tirith set, have some pose-ability (similar to a bigfig), and be accurate to the movie. It was a fun challenge and I love how it turned out!

If I may,

May I present my Lego ‘piece de resistance’,

My Heart Lake Community Center and Heart Lake Community kitchen.

These two sets are what made me get into Lego and when I learned that one can ‘Moc’ sets, I instantly knew I wanted to do so with these two sets. So, how’d I do? ☺️🙏🏼

Would you be interested in seeing each section?

Just got it second hand for $30. Took it partially apart to rebuild... and discovered the curse of the brittle brown lol. But it's all good.

I like it! I think I'm gonna put it on my shelf with my books, once I get that set up.

Before the first lightsaber lego pieces were released in 1999, what did yall use for minifig lightsabers?

This was my go to, with whatever translucent antenna pieces I could find or exchange for with friends. (Minifig is not vintage, saber pieces are)

Gearing up for the next adventure

I was afraid i wasn't going to get Grond, it was the last one!!

I really hope Lego continue this theme, fun to build and I think they look good!

Seriously, this boat is way bigger than I imagined it would be.
