This is my latest Steampunk MOC. Inspiration was from an episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog in which a giant walking tower was featured.

The Tripod SteamFort is one of the Steam Armada's strongest castles. A walking landmark, the Tripod SteamFort serves as an outpost for soldiers and a meeting place for those who have an appointment with Steam Armada officials.

A professor who is a passenger of Captain Steamheart's Flying Boat has an important conference with the baron regarding an ancient legend.

A MOC of mine that is a combination of James Cameron's Avatar and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

The last Na'vi elemental bender vigorously tries to stop a Human invasion. A secret weapon of the Na'Vi people, he comes from a long-lost tribe of Na'vi who have a connection with Eywa that is so strong they can control the very elements of Pandora.

The Reprimander is a state-of-the-art robotic suit meant to hold the conscious of an Energy Being. Specifically, an Energy Being who has the rank of Commander or above. The Repimander has the ability to curl itself into a ball for quick travel down mountainous battlefields.

This MOC was an experimentation with "key" bricks and a rubber tube.

In a future space-city, a rambunctious young teenage spacer and racer pilots his speeder (named "The Rascal") hastily through the hover-lanes.

This MOC is an experimentation with dark blue, and my very first attempt at building in the Neo Classic Space theme.

Steampunk Robo Camel

Hey fellow LEGO fans! I recently built a Steampunk Robo Camel for a contest. Steampunk is a very popular fan-made LEGO theme, next to Post-Apocalypse.

Here is the description of my MOC:

"During the 12th Century in the Steampunk Universe, Italian adventurer Marco Polo encounters an inventor while journeying across the Afghanistan section of the Silk Road for the first time. The inventor, also a merchant, sells goods atop his huge steam-powered robot camel. A gear system at the bottom of the camel is what moves the legs in synchronized order. Marco Polo was able to write about the inventor and the robot camel in his journal shortly before continuing his journey to China. The Steampunk Robot Camel has become one of the most popular history subjects in the Steampunk Universe, and it is currently on display in the Steam-powered Robots Museum."

LEGO Clutch Powers Reminder

This year, the brand-new CGI movie based on the classic LEGO Building System will come to DVD on Feburary the 23rd!  The in-a-nutshell synopsis:  A bold Minifig named Clutch Powers and his team travel to the Space Police prison planet, then to the Fantasy Medieval World of Ashlar to help the rightful heir of the throne defeat an evil wizard named Mallock the Malign.

LEGO Hero Factory Trailer

On BZPower, LEGO showed this video to one of the Admins, who showed it publicly.

I've decided to Embed the Hero Factory Teaser Trailer from the channel of a YouTube user named ShieldOfAges onto my blog to show you.

According to some sources, the Hero Factory line won't have an epic story like Bionicle did, but will have more of a flexible story so that Builders would have to use their own imagination more.  Seems fine with me!  However, the Hero Factory protagonists are just plain really advanced robots, unlike how all of the characters in Bionicle were bio-mechanical beings (basically steampunk cyborgs).  Which is ... Okay, but I prefer Bionicle as it had a more unique story.

Send the Minifigs into the LEGO Universe and save imagination!

On the LEGO Universe subsite at LEGO.com, a new game has been released! :-D

And no, it (sadly) isn't LEGO Universe.

The game is about playing several different missions, each one will send Minifigures into the LEGO Universe for re-animation when won.

So go and help save imagination by playing the missions!  Here is the link:

Answer The Call - Save Imagination!

Recently, a video of a fictional video recording from a Minifig and what appears to be the official LEGO Universe trailer has been released at the Bradford Rant website.

Some of my LEGO MOCs on Flickr!

Hi brick bloggers! Here are a few pics of some of the things that I built during the Holiday months!



I built this from the Neptune Mini-Sub set that came with my new Brickmaster magazine.



I used the Christmas tree model from the Winter Toy Shop that I received for the Holidays in this one.
The MOC is supposed to represent the going of the previous year and the arrival of the next year.



A silly little thing I made while experimenting with my bricks.



An android detective inspired by an episode of a cartoon called "Samurai Jack" which featured a robot gangster.



(I used a free trial of Photoshop for this one. Turns out I like what I already had better)

I also uploaded this to the LEGO Universe creation Lab!
Here is the link to it.



A high-tech version of Santa's sleigh that I built at the beginning of December 2009. I can't imagine how Santa is able to deliver presents to good kids all over the world in one night with just eight flying reindeer. His sleigh and the reindeer must obviously be equipped with faster-than-light boosters. ;-)

Well, that concludes the things I built over the Holidays!
