Due to the shortage of bricks of certain colours, the mecha with cockpit is being halted. Looking at my abundant orange and adequate black, an idea of a humanoid mech with slim but long arms came to me.
I actually built the arms first and realized a slender (slimmer than Atlas) would go well with the arms. The idea of the mid section from the unfinished mech is put into this one to balance the proportion. Last but not least, I used the cone shaped pieces into legs.
All these designs required different type of joints, I developed them accordingly.
I literally made a backpack type cockpit but it did not turn out as nice as I liked due to how bulky it is compared to the overall slenderness.
So, WIP continues. Hope to update you all soon here!
It's a beautiful day out today after lots of rain and wind for over a week.
I had built these mushrooms for another project that I ended up abandoning so this was a nice way to spruce up a minifig portrait with more LEGO to make it stand out.
I used two flashes for this. One lighting the front of the mini figure, and one behind, giving the blue light from the forge which has nicely spilled out onto the floor this side of the forge door.
I had already used the same location near my home to show a canoe falling into the waterfall. But I wanted to take the storytelling a step further and feature a team of unhappy pirates who had made the wrong choices and were about to lose their entire fortune!
I'd like to take this opportunity to share some behind-the-scenes footage with you ;)
Having a fun time taking photos prompted by custom printed parts. I usually approach coming up with concepts around a custom character I designed but this is a refreshing change.
I took this picture last year for the @brickcentral contest bc_inframe.
For this I’ve build this little alley. But maybe different than expected isn’t this alley one big part. This are multiple smaller parts, this allows me to move things around until my final scene was in camera.
