Made entirely out of set 6497-1: Twisted Time Train. The swirl on the front really spins, the funnel moves like the original set, except it has an added bat which 'flies' out of it.

The Monster under the Bed

LEGO Halloween vignette -- The Monster under the Bed, based on early childhood fears. I couldn't decide between the opposing Vampire and Werewolf factions, so I just went for a generic monster theme for this vignette.

Jack used to be afraid of the monster under his bed when he was 5 years old, but since then he grew up and believed the monster was imaginary. Now, it has come back to haunt him.

Shrink Ray really works! ;-)

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!

I've joined Flickr and MOCpages!

Let the building begin ....

The Stalactite Scraper!

When the Power Miners need to remove stalactites in case of an accident, they call on the Stalactite Scraper!

When you roll it, a series of gears turns the grinder at the top!

The second Thunder Driller!

When the first Thunder Driller is damaged in an rock slide, the Power Miners team build a temporary replacement!  Built in a smaller scale with a Star Wars windshield and a titanium drill, this little brother version of the Thunder Driller means business!
Photo 1:  A good look at the Thunder Driller II!
Photo 2:  The cockpit and back!
Photo 3:  The REAL engine of the Thunder Driller II!

One strange skeleton ....

What do you do when you have extra skeleton pieces?  Make a weird monster of course!

With a shield picture for a face, very long legs, and hands that shoot flames you can terrorize a medieval village!

Upgrades to the Power Miners Mine Mech!

When I first received the Power Miners Mine Mech, I thought it was very cool and Exo-Force like, but it was also very very skimpy.  So I added upgrades to the Mine Mech so that it will last longer against a dozen or so pesky rock monsters!  Instead of a spinner that isn't good at drilling; I added a normal PM drill!  The I noticed that the claws could use some more work; so I made them more dangerous.  The legs and arms I improved plus I added a few defenses in-case a Boulderax rock monster shows up.

Remember:  If you think that an instructions-followed model needs some work, don't be afraid to add a few extra pieces from your collection.

My Jack Frost's Ice Castle MOC (My Own Creation) picture 5.

When I was building this 2006 winter MOC, I thought that Jack Frost could use a vehicle that he can ride for fun!  So I made him this energy-efficient snow-mobile!

*Vroom vroom vrooooooooooooom*

Yeehhawwww ride that energy-efficient snow-mobile!

*Vroom vrooooooom vroom vroom*

LOL!  :-D

My Jack Frost's Ice Castle MOC (My Own Creation) picture 4.

The lab ...... Where jack frost works to stop global warming ..... His special radar dish (last pic) gives the computer at right information about how much of the Arctic Tundra is left ...... Because he was able to rescue the Polar Bear at picture 1 thanks to information from his computer.

My Jack Frost's Ice Castle MOC (My Own Creation) picture 3.

 

This is the bridge, radar station, and snowmobile repair center!  The radar dish receives information for the lab (coming next photo).  If the dish is broken, Jack Frost would use the bridge to walk up to it and fix it!  The snow-mobile repair center is under the bridge (You probably guessed this because of the tools there).

My Jack Frost's Ice Castle MOC (My Own Creation) picture 2.

Yet another picture of this old model!
This is the inside of the castle!  It features a little dining room at top (with ice cream), below the dining room is his bed (the table in which the clock sets upon is frozen), below that is Jack Frost's lab (more on that later)!

My Jack Frost's Ice Castle MOC (My Own Creation) picture 1.

Way back in 2006 when it was winter, 

I decided to build this MOC as an alternative to the common Santa Claus theme!

This is Jack Frost's Ice Castle!  The Minifigure wearing a light blue shirt is Jack Frost (that mythical character).  Down below is his Polar Bear.  To the right of the Polar Bear is Jack Frost's snow-mobile!

Escaping with the treasure!

 

Run away with the treasure!  Note the booby trap I added to the viking cave,

You can flip a small switch to make an axe swing out!  :-)

My Tread Tracker Creation!

Pictures of my latest MOC (My Own Creation, its a building term)!  It is a vehicle with treads that I call a Tread Tracker!  :-D
