[steampaul]

i've started a little series of weekly posts documenting every MoC i made (digitally) over the last few years:

Week 8: 2021

Bonsai, Contests, Old themes and Pride

brickset had another contest where you could enter mods of 10281 bonsai tree. i made two that i thought would look interesting as more alien trees and one using bionicle kanohi (plus jaller)

there was also a category for that contest where you'd make a custom bonsai. i didn't have to many ideas other than "make small" and "abandoned". i don't really like the way those trees look.

the great cloud gardens was a game that i played a lot during that time, so i decided to make a bonsai-like MoC based on the city levels of the game. i still love this build and i hope that i'll be able to build it irl some time in the future.

these are also more directly based on cloud gardens. they depict the levels where you get the seeds for the Wisteria, the Monstera, the opuntia, the bryophyta and the pothos. (i kinda had to guess the names based on the pixelated names on the cards and the closest names i could find for plants that are similar looking to the ones ingame)

i never posted these anywhere because i wanted to finish making all of the plants before posting them. i never finished.

there was another contest on lego ideas where you could build a new GWP with the theme "space" i originally built it as an Ice Planet style-vehicle, but then i looked more into the lore of Ice Planet and found out that they specialized in Rocket science and something about satellites, i think?

this made me redesign this MoC as a futuron vehicle because that subtheme had a focus on transportation and more civilian activities.

i had the idea to make more modern Rock Raiders MoCs based on interesting modern Construction vehicles, i think i kinda overdid it with the amount of colours present on these MoCs, but i'll probably revisit this idea some time in the future.

another ideas contest. this time for a summer themed GWP. i based this on some north sea beach memories i made as a kid. i really like the sunny atmosphere i created with this MoC.

i also played narita boy that year and wanted to make a MoC based on that amazing game, but this never went anywhere. this was also the first (and probably last) time i've used PartDesigner to make a custom part (the sword) and some cutom prints.

LEGO released the Everyone is Awesome set in June 2021, so ideas had an activity to post some Pride Month inspired Creations. i originally made the Stand For the Flag(s) build that i made several variations of and now turned into a .gif, but i didn't post it because i really disliked the colours i used and couldn't think of better ones. instead i posted the Building Bridges MoC. i stimm like it and i think it would make a nice desk decorations similar to the EiA set.

anyone remember Atlantis? i had the idea to build some place to hold all eight Treasure Keys that where released in both waves of that theme. i think the theming is a bit off with this MoC, but i still kinda like the colours i used in it.

first week last week next week

How to Shoot Lego in 'Space'

MOBILE INFANTRY POWER ARMOR MEETS LEGO® SPACE MARINES.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on the SM-4A1 Mauler, a.k.a., Standard issue LEGO® Space Marine heavy infantry support mecha. 📸: Peter L. Morris.

OVERVIEW: "Based on the diminutive Futuron Strategic Pursuer Mk-II, the Mauler has been "embiggened" in every way. It boasts a heavy recoilless plasma rifle, medium range Berserker Mk-IV tactical smart missiles, an anti-personnel close-range Hi-RoF photon cannon, heavy duty spotlight, and of course an industrial grade armored manipulator.

PART II: This, like the Strategic Pursuer before it, was based on Tromas' AD-Rock frame, but pushed to its limits. It barely stands on its own, and can only be posed by using clear nail polish stuff to stiffen the joints. Well, it's easier if I remove the ridiculous missile box, which makes it way too top-heavy."

Lego project creating an army of lego space mini figures that are allied to the Sith lead by Barris Offee who has fallen to the dark side. She has attracted Blacktron, Futuron and Spyirus allies though Exploriens are breaking away some what. Ideas flow with the building and as ever the models change. Will flesh out a full story for the Lego of my realm haha (taken on 23.02.23 💫🚀

This tracked armoured multiple rocket launcher is my third completely original MOC. It completes the triad of Space themes from the Eighties. Following Classic Space and Blacktron, it's time for Futuron. The theme lastedfrom 1987 to 1990, it represents the development of Classic Space, sharing the iconic moon logo and the white & blue colors. The minifigs however are different with a new visored helmet. The vehicle is approximately 900 parts, completely functional. Motor module and a pilot pod can be extracted. Turret is turning, interior is decorated and accessible. #legocustominstructions #legoinstructions #lego #legomoc #legomocs #moc #iinstructions #custom #legocustom #mocs #mocsmarket

Originally built for civilian applications, the Futuron Strategic Pursuer was often retrofitted with heavy weapons by Futuron Colonials desperate to defend their homes from Blacktron raiders

LEGO Futuron Theme Space Base - part 2

I got in the mood to revisit some of my old sets I had as a kid. Here is my first space theme set, the 6884 Futuron Aero-Module from 1987.

I was missing the instructions but luckily someone had scanned and posted it online. I had to substituted some of the pieces I'm missing to complete it. I might go in bricklink to replace them.

But as of right now, it's nice to have it back together again.

[Futuron's] name is telling, reflecting the theme’s much more well-defined, futuristic look that left the realities of NASA’s moon missions and the slightly ad-hoc experimentalism of later Classic Space far behind. White and austere, industrial without straying into the grubby, broken-down world of Star Wars’ ‘used future’, the NASA heritage is still there, but as the theme’s name suggests, this outer-space world of domes and monorails feels like something from futurist concept art rather than the realities of contemporary space exploration.

Futuron’s Hovercraft and the rover from Blacktron’s Message Intercept Base.  I never managed to get any Futuron sets as a kid, but I never stopped thinking about them.

6990-1 Monorail Transport System in Microscale by Baron Julius von Brunk https://flic.kr/p/24TyBsB

My submission to Brickset's Instagram competition to commemorate 60 Years of the LEGO brick, here's my microscale replica of the LEGO Space Futuron massive model "Monorail Transport System!"

I actually owned this set when I was very young, and I've always considered it my favorite LEGO set of all time. Despite growing up in poverty, I managed to get hold of this gargantuan model at age 6: after my parents divorced in 1989, my father moved away and tried to win me in a custody battle by sending me this huge set for my birthday. With my lack of dexterity at the time, I was unable to assemble most of this huge model according its instructions, and instead used the parts to make random space stations and ships. Then at age 7, I used components of the monorail to build a space station MOC as an entry to a LEGO-building contest at our local KMart in Lancaster, PA. I won a t-shirt for my efforts.

When my family moved around a lot in my childhood, I lost many key components of the monorail, and to this very day, only some of the grey tracks and black stanchions survive in my collection. Eventually some day I plan on installing this monorail to travel around the perimeter of the interior my house. Unfortunately the grey tracks are incredible rare, so hopefully a 3D printing techniques can fill in the gaps.

As for this particular model/photo: I built this in just a few days, with the major obstacle being the wait for the curved tiles to arrive in the mail. Otherwise, the overall project was rather streamlined. Subsequent challenges involved the photo shoot: the big challenge was shooting it in low light with proper fill light, in order to keep the backgrounds dark and the subject exposed enough. I placed the model on top of a black folding table, then achieved the red glowing background by placing a red spotlight up against a black backdrop. Then I pointed a bright white softbox over the scene, and diffused it with a reflector disc.
