Gay pirates

A vignette inspired by the music video for Cosmo Jarvis' "Gay pirates". A song about two pirates that gets punished for their love to each other.

The Guarded Inn - Green Dragon Style

by Henrik (09/08/11) Email

Once again I have to pleasure to introduce you to my biggest MOC ever. Again it's a medieval themed, this time it's a guarded Inn on the outskirt of the Green dragon's realm. I got the inspiration for this piece from the 6067 and the 7947 sets. That's why the building is mostly black with some parts in dark bluish gray or reddish brown. I wanted to include something in the dark green color as well, but couldn't think of anything that would fit in that color. The house got to be yellow to brighten up the building a little.

I originally designed this carriage to be part of a bigger MOC I'm working on. I decided not to include it and show it off by itself instead. When I designed it I wanted to try to make it as compact as possible. The goal was to keep it 4 studs wide, have space for two people and still have a working door.

The reins is an addition that I would like some feedback on. I never really liked the empty space between the coachman and the horse. So that why I added the two "fishing lines" to connect them two. Would like to know if people think it's an improvement or not.

Imperial Spider Walker

by Henrik (29/06/11) Email

I wanted to make a vehicle for the Imperial faction and this is what I came up with. I think it's crude and ugly, but still with a little charm.

LEGO: The Sea serpent

by Henrik (30/03/11) Email

This is a small boat I made the for the Green Dragon faction. It is another MOC created with inspiration from an old set, also named the Sea serpent. I like how well the Green Dragon faction and their symbols fitted the name of the old set, so I decided to have the same name on my MOC.

The Sea Serpent

I used the symbol on the soldiers tabards to decorate the sail.

LEGO: A piece of a medieval city

by Henrik (29/03/11) Email

My biggest MOC so far. The piece is suppose to portray what you would get if you sliced and lifted out a square of a medieval city. In this square you can see an inn, a street both, a fabric store, a smithy and various people walking around. From two of the sides you can look into the buildings.

LEGO: Secret of Monkey Island

by Henrik (14/01/11) Email

"LeChuck is at it again. After having kidnapped Elaine and leaving Guybrush Threepwood to die on a deserted island, he is sailing the seas to find the perfect place to marry Elaine on. But luck was on Guybrush's side. After having solved a series of puzzles and tasks he got the island's monkeys to build him a ship."

Secret of Monkey Island

This is a LEGO creation I thought up when I was thinking about doing something fun the the small boat pieces. While thinking if I could make a small sail boat with them I came to the thought that small ships would fit nicely in a Secret of Monkey Island MOC.

Secret of Monkey Island

The most fun part for me when building this set was that I had all the pieces I wanted. It feel good to now have a decent amount of LEGO bricks. Only one piece had to be made by myself, the sail. I made a black and white paper copy of a sail that came with "Brickbeard's Bounty" and cut it down to fit the size of the boat.

LEGO: Moon vehicles

by Henrik (31/12/10) Email

When I went through old medieval LEGO sets to rebuild I also went through some space set to rebuild in my own version. The result is a beefed-up Space Buggy and a more compact Mobile Ground Tracking Station. Two very basic and easy builds to do that were fun to build and photograph.

LEGO: Troll Tribike

by Henrik (29/11/10) Email

Another Troll vehicle. It was design in LDD at the same time as the Light Walker and Assault Wagon, but for various reasons it took me a while to build it in real bricks and then photographing it.

Troll Tribike

It is meant to be a quick assault vehicle for urban areas. It's main task is to give support fire to the foot soldiers.

This "Imperial Revenge" post does not contain any back story. I have more to say but I'm saving it for another post.

LEGO: Royal procession

by Henrik (17/11/10) Email

A while ago I went throw the LEGO set library over at Brickset looking for sets that I could build my own versions of. Two sets I found were "6023-1: Maiden's Cart" and "6011-1: Black Knight's Treasure". They where simple enough for me to be able to build without needing to buy many or expensive bricks. I first built my own versions of them in LDD and then order the missing pieces from LEGO's Pick-a-brick store. But just building my own version of those two sets wasn't enough for me. I wanted to do something fun with them so I put together a couple more minifigures and three trees to make a little scen.

Royal Procession
The trees are what I would like to call 2D-trees - only meant to be view from one angle. I think I will use similar trees for future diorama ideas.

A bad day to go surfing on

A bad day to go surfing on

but unfortunately things are not as they seem.
A bad day to go surfing on

The idea for this set have been in my head for a long time. It took awhile before I got the pieces and time to create it. It felt nice to sit down and start building on it. Before I finished the base of the scene (seabed, cliff/beach and the surface), I really didn't know if it would look good or not. I was especially worried about the "waves" that are holding the big blue plates together. I feared they would look ridiculous, but they turned out nicely I think.

I'm happy about the finished result. I like that I didn't need a bulk loads of pieces to make it. It is nice to see that I can make something nice to show off with a few pieces.

LEGO: Imperial outpost

by Henrik (06/10/10) Email

This is my biggest MOC to date. It is not an impressive size by any standard, but it is the biggest I can build without ending up with an abstract art piece. The set belongs the the "Imperial revenge" theme and is an old ruin rebuilt it just enough to serve as a camp and lookout point for the Imperial army. I decided to make this set because I wanted to make a home for my little Imperial soldiers.

LEGO: Monkey dreams of Banana

by Henrik (31/07/10) Email

This little diorama is my entry into a raffle competition over at Eurobricks. The competition revolves around building a creation that is fruit themed. I would really liked to do something bigger, but I'm still suffering from owning to few bricks.

LEGO Scene: The Warmonger attacks

by Henrik (12/07/10) Email

This is the scene with The Warmonger that I promised to post. It is the second LEGO scene I have created and like the first one it is in the "Imperial revenge" theme. It is depicting a scene from the early stages of the Space Troll invasion. I have keep the scene small and simple because I don't have so many bricks and pieces to use. I'm still working on acquiring an large amount of LEGO pieces.

The Warmonger attacks

The Warmonger attacks

The scene is not meant to be viewed from more angles than these two. The soldier that is running away has one of those "double face" head, which means that he looks weird when viewed from behind. And the soldier that is caught in the claw does not have a face which fits with the situation. I blame these two faults on my small LEGO collection.
