The blog has been a bit quiet lately, which is because unusually I’ve actually been building LEGO; and then photographing it and photoshopping and generally getting stuff ready. Unashamedly hitting the “shameless self promotion” tag, behold now the fruits of my labour: Having built a number of smaller Star Trek models I wanted to build […]

I freely admit I fully intend to use this blog for shameless self promotion. Herewith is the first substantial MOC I built, designing it first entirely in LDD and ordering parts of Bricklink to assemble it. I decided not to splash out mega bucks on the Avengers Helicarrier set, instead building this little number for a micro classic […]
Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship!
