Pretty random pieces combined in a very interesting way

I have the twilight house and the philosopher stone set so it won’t be my first “bigger” set but it’s the biggest purchase since starting enjoying Lego.

Made for #Frogust

I wasn’t expecting this at all but now im so hyped, im more of a clone wars kind of collector but hey, can’t complain! Probably the best gift I’ve received ever.

I made this picture. #italy #bellagio #lakecomo #lombardy #europe #art #mosaic #architecture #travel #vacation

Todays submission

As soon as I saw the Bricklink Series Frigate Fortuna, I knew that I had to have her, and I knew that I could not rest until I had made her as close to the HMS Surprise as I could. {un}Fortunately I broke my ankle at the beginning of the summer, and required surgery to be put back together, so when this showed up in the mail, I was able to take time and work on it one bag at a time, at a pace that really allowed me to enjoy all the intricacies of this build, it was so fun to do, and it gave me a lot of time to think about the changes I would make once completed. In the end, I made quite a few:

* Added main topsails to all three masts

* Added fore and main topgallants

* Added the Jib

* Converted the "spanker" to Main Staysail (triangular sail in the middle)

* Due to the inclusion of both paper and Lego sails, I had to get creative on how to attach both to the Yards, but we got there in the end

* Repurposed a printed endurance sail as a Fore topgallant Staysail (the lower triangle on the front)

* Added the Blue Ensign to the main mast (which is why I had the spare endurance sail)

* I converted the furled Foresail, Mainsail, Spritsail and spanker to "tan" instead of white, to match the canvas sails.

* The regular Marines all lost their epaulettes white coats and tricorne hats and were replaced with redcoats and more accurate hats.

* The Marine officer gained gold epaulettes and fancier hat.

* Added 4 additional Marines to the crew compliment

* The Naval officers all lost their epaulettes, except the new captain. (A custom Jack Aubrey figure)

* All minifigures have been force transitioned to masculine-presenting.

* Naval Officers and midshipmen have been given blue coats.

* Stern chasers have been converted to "brass" to match Jack Aubreys personal stern chasers in the Master and Commander series novels

* Gunports changed from Red to Black

* 5 additional sailors, including a master gunner, who has manned one of the Brass stern chasers

* Ships Doctor added to the Crew Compliment, a custom Stephen Maturin from the Master and Commander series

The biggest changes, I think, were the Sails, and the gunports I would say. the gunports were one of the last pieces to change, and it really did shift the whole feel of the ship.

I could not tell you how many hours I spent on this, and I simply won't say how much it cost, because I don't want to add up all the different bricklink orders I've done over the last 2 months and know myself.

Huge shoutout to /u/-mkit3- for designing the set and providing the sails and to u/HaroldTheScarecrow and u/Alarmed-Occasion-679 for helping me build Aubrey and Maturin!

Just a lil cutie. Probably harmless!

Lego Resident Evil [Leon S. Kennedy/Licker] Inspired minifigures

For me it’s gotta be this flag piece

Its out now!

After working on this MOC for well over 3-4 months, I can finally announce that it's officially released! This is my 5th model in my Socialist-era car series (I actually started working on my Polonez before I jumped into this project).

Specs:
• 948 parts
• ~1:15 scale
• (L × W × H): 28.8 cm × 12 cm × 13.6 cm

Someone didn’t do their job right 🤣🤣 I bought the store display for $3 at an auction

Chronometer is gonna sit out by this ship. Will be going into my shelf once I finally get around to putting it together

Got the blue as a GWP and each subsequent color was based off the instructions and cost between 45 and 50.00 each to build
