Building LEGO

My teenage daughter is interested in diving into the world of larger MOCs, even builds that might be 10's of thousands of pieces. Where does one begin with this? Is the LegoDD software the best route? We definitely plan to utilize BL for parts. Are there good tutorials to read or videos to watch for giant MOCs?

Hey Folks! So as you all know Dimensions came out with the Portal 2 level pack. I have long been a huge Portal fan and love the games. The writing/humour/gameplay is beyond anything else I've played. There was an Ideas project that ended up not making it into a final product: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/18258 which i was really rooting for. So when the Dimensions set came out i decided i would try to replicate this design so i could properly display the awesome Chell minifig. I also intend to make a GlaDOS that will hang in the top of a detolf (tops of detolfs have a hole) without all the support brackets used in the Ideas design. Below is the progress I've made so …

A dark cloud has settled over Legoland, as war has erupted between two of its proudest themes! For over a year, Heartlake City and Fabuland have coexisted by maintaining a tenuous ceasefire. That all changed the day after the Communist Dictator of Fabuland passed away, leaving his only son to take his place. Eager to prove he is nobody's fool, and clearly trying to compensate for a plethora of shortcomings, Fabuland's new leader, Patrick Pig has declared war on the Friends of Heartlake City! As a result of this provocation, President Olivia and Secretary of Defense Mia, has called their Friends to arms. Inside sources tell us that they haven't seen the Friends this fire…

This is a great article and video posted on the home page here at BP (from the Brick Blogger): http://thebrickblogger.com/2015/10/lego-africa-first-time-playing-with-lego/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thebrickblogger+(TheBrickBlogger) My five year-old son and I are going to send a box to this program. He is so "over-privileged" when it comes to the amount of Lego toys in our home. Watching this video makes him understand how lucky he is and it's amazing to me how much he wants to share and help kids who don't have Legos. I hope some of you will donate as well. This is guaranteed to give you lots of good karma for the upcoming holi…

Terminator T-800 life size model

Anyone with the 10247 Ferris Wheel - I'd like to modify this build so that the "wheel" portion of the Ferris Wheel can be freed of the set and roll by itself. Can this be done? Seems like it would involve moving the seat gondolas closer to the middle of the wheel to start with...

Technic 42009 is a wonderful set. Many Technic fans think it may be the best Technic set ever (opinion). Lots of things that can be done to it. I bought several a few years ago, and out of them produced a version of the Liebherr 1500 8.1. Recently I took it out and played with it and was able to make it lift a heavier version of the 8070 supercar (my own modifications of it). That is one thing I love about Technic; models can replicate the real thing and actually function at least similar to the real thing (in this case, replicating the "Y" guy arrangement allowed it to lift much more that without the "Y" guy arrangement). Again, just like the real thing. Perhaps n…

Over at Classic-Castle is the beginning of new contest titled "Castle goes to Space". If I am properly understanding the terms correctly, the core concept is to take an officially released set either Space related (Star Wars, Alien Conquest, Futuron, etcetera) and transform it into a Castle themed one or from the Castle side (Knights Kingdom, Vikings, Ninja, The Hobbit, so on) and turn it into a Space type design. (In short, Castle -> Space or Space -> Castle.) Here is a good example from a prior contest where the entry had 'Castlefied' set 7749 Echo Base from Star Wars. I suspect some ideas have better possibilities in making the transition from one era to the …

Okay, there simply are just too many of these space frigates to put all in one post let alone the amount of time taken just to sort a few is ridiculous. Therefore a handful will posted at a time and within a spoiler. With any luck doing so will maintain this topic's page from becoming ludicrously long and keep image loading to a minimum. Well anyway, here are just some of this entries for SHIPtember 2015 with tons more on the way! ....I'm not even kidding on that. There is like close to a hundred of these things.

I just finished editing the Lego Ideas WALL-E set. I purchased and included in the video the Head Mount Modification Kit that was designed by Chris McVeigh.

I would first like to share my latest LEGO® creation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj7qGkIdQ4E Then I would like to encourage you to take the poll.

You are a lego investor. And suddenly you have only 24 hours to live. Which lego set in your warehouse will you open to build for one last time?

Can anyone please help me on how this is built? I really have no idea how the middle parts are built.

He's the greatest. He's fantastic. Wherever there is danger he'll be there! He's the ace. He's amazing. He's the strongest, he's the quickest, he's the best! Danger Mouse. He's terrific. He's magnific. He's the bravest secret agent in the world! Danger Mouse. Power House. He's the fastest, he's the greatest, he's the best! Danger Mouse. Danger Mouse! DANGER MOUSE!!!! Turns out my timing of this couldn't be more perfect seeing how the series has just been brought back this September a couple days ago to CBBC.

I know some of you are into Fantasy Baseball, Football, etc. I was curious if anyone out there keeps any kind of stats or logs? I guess the main thing that came to my head was something along the lines of a piece per minute stat. Simply meaning after opening your first bag, how many pieces can you put together per minute? I was wondering this while putting together 75082 Tie Advanced Prototype. I liked the set and everything, but seemed to be zooming through at a good clip. Although it did have a few repeat builds which made it easy. But that got me thinking if that is something to track or not? I mean it does take some brain power to be able to see what pieces are needed…

Last week the news was all abuzz regarding the new star wars toys. That got the new movie on my mind and all the wonderful ships in the show. Thought I would do a little rendition of a ship that is little recognized, but one of my favorites nonetheless. See more pics and information at http://mocpages.com/moc.php/419160

Everyone remember Technic set 42025? Great set to be sure, but IMO in need of some improvements. I have documented more about the changes and the process of making the changes along with pics at: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/418746#reviews but briefly, here are some pics and video of the changes. Check it out!
