As with most Teenage Lego Builders, school takes up a good portion of life. Certainly, I am no exception. It seems that a mix of schoolwork, homework, music, sports, and just normal social activities have kept me busy and away from a hobby I love. Recently, I have tried to get back with the community.
Well, lets kick it off with a new creation from our very own Zack Milenius(Newright).
As usual, Newright brings us a well crafted, detailed, beautifully executed, large pirate themed layout. The Reconstruction of Fort Oswald is a great little (large) creation, and has some great features, not to mention a large ship of the line entering the harbor. He brings in some SNOT techniques with the smooth water, and some cliff construction techniques with the rocks on the left-hand side.
As usual, great job Zack. Now, perhaps we can get you back on track with your SHIP.

‘kay, so Castle Carlin probably isn’t named after the comedian, but to make up for that, it’s super cool. I especially love the great wall texture and Tudor section (not that half timbered additions on castle are uncommon, just that it’s well done). Landscaping’s pretty good, too.
Well built, Zimzø.
DSe-01 Hardsuit by pyreƒyre August 25, 2009

A deep sea exploration suit; SubApoc.
pyreƒyre brings us yet another beautiful hardsuit, this time, for the ocean blue. This is the most recent of his hardsuit’s and is certainly excellent. I find myself thinking it hard to believe that some people can get their suits so complicated. I would easily rank this suit equal to that of Tim Z.’s or Chucks.

Flickr user vinn has quickly become one of my favourite teen Space builders with his awesome series of pirate fighters, the Rajjic clan. His newest fighter, the RX-SROPC-87 Archangel, is a stunning remake of one of his early MOCs.

I had to start blogging again just for this.

Erdbeereis1 ventures back into the realm of town vignettes after having recently brought us some beautiful spaceships.
He says:
“Let’s take a walk along the river.
I built this mainly to try out this water idea, which I’ll use in much larger scale in a future MOC hopefully.”
What sold me on this creation was the arches and the water just below them. I could never seem to find a use for that particular piece, but now, since other people do my work for me, everything is well. While this MOC is generally fairly simple, I can see some complicated places which required some different pieces. All in all, it’s a great creation. I look forward to seeing the larger creation this will become!
Over the blood-red dunes July 17, 2009

I gotta say, this little dune buggy by Crimson Wolf- based on a vehicle from Red Faction: Guerrilla- is pretty flippin’ awesome, but it’s the Martian backdrop that completes the scene. A good MOC is always furthered by good presentation, and this counts for both.
Of course, the buggy itself is the main thing here, and a nice buggy it is!

Here is something I think should be blogged. Mdrn~Mrvls’, who is usually a strong vehicle builder, now brings us this “Office Building and 30s Car”. Of course, it does have a well built vehicle in it.
This creation comes from a series of vehicles that Mdrn is building stretching from a fire engine to a dump truck.

Jordan (Sir Nadroj) wishes our favorite eccentric electrician, AC advocate, radio revolutionary, and Serbian savant a very merry 153rd.
Also note, this is at least the second time I’m writing about these two fellows here on this blog, both Tesla and Jordan, and hopefully not the last either!

This hæs got to be the lærgest LEGO work ever constructed by fellow blogger Peder Peter (who also displayed it at BrickWorld). Allegedly drawing an archaic etymology from the Old English for “Flat Field”, the fortress is aptly named. Additionally, the architecture is rather aesthetically pleasing and appears to be an attempt to emulate the Norman style that became popular in England after the year 1070 AD. The light gray curves and bends are beautifully fluid, but also note the Tudor style second floor and the wooden stables that break up the otherwise contiguous gray walls rather well.
Also, there’s viking-Aunt-May-archers!
