March of robots
Marchi’koma is a great possibility to flex one’s building muscles with GitS inspired robots. Since this is right up my alley, I churned out a few models.
A small robot with character with minimum parts in company of a anime-styled minifigure is ‘Tiny T’.
[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”408″ gal_title=”Tiny T”]Two robots drawing inspiration from a spider and a crab, ‘Pain + Killer’, feature a heavy utilitarian and military look. Initially they were designed for a commission, but turned out a tad too large.
[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”409″ gal_title=”Pain+Killer”]The largest in this run is the ‘Old V.I.C.’, a mixture of victorian steampunk, robot tech and microscale with a dash of Howl’s moving castle. The frame is based upon the same one as the D.A.Z. FS359i. This fella will probably be part of a larger diorama I am working on for ages.

Mars Rover
In sprit of the actual expedition and landing on Mars. Also FebROVERy ignited my creative engines.
Large inspiration taken from Igor Sobolevskys amazing Mars 9 Rover concept:
This fella took me ages, The sketch was on my desk for half a year or more before I managed to finally pull it off.
Here’s an interactive 360° model for your viewing pleasure:
Enough talk, here’s the full gallery:

Booq Storiez
After sitting long time on my desk with several photo sessions, finally I managed to finish off this project which developed alongside a workshop for a libary.
There is real braille included, merging the visual and haptic approach and serving as the transition for the sculptural growth out of the pages/story of the book. The sculptural part itself also consists of threedimensional letters offering another visual/haptic fusion.
Alternative titles are ‘string theory’ and ‘haptic sensation’.
Enjoy!

Dots Parts Fest
A few months ago, Elspeth from New Elementary asked me to play around with a few new Lego Sets from the dots series, namely the bracelets.
There are a bunch of results, which will be showcased time by time where this post will be constantly updated.
The Virus edition
>>> The post over at New Elementary
For starters there are the interwoving bracelets which give a nice irregular and organic base.
Some applications of this technique – the viruses are here!
[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”369″ gal_title=”Dots_Viruses”]Here are three connected bracelets forming an endless stream. This never went beyond WIP.

Back to space-ics
You know, sometimes you build something to a certain extent and that you cannot finish it somehow. Then it lays around for some time, you look at it several times and eventually the final direction comes to shape so you manage to finish it off – this is exactly one of those creations! If there is an existing design or a synopsis of a few designs there is a clear path to follow, but creating a new original design is just different.
BTW there are a whole load of this kind of projects spread across my creative lab.
Building notes
I fiddled around with the large flat curvy panels and my limited parts available in dark tan. It happened that this insect-shell like design came out. My love for the small flags urged me to look how I could add them and the overall design was born.
The build is based upon the traditional Vic Viper wing-layout – two prongs, two rear-sided wings and a tailfin.
It has space for a small minifigure, being positioned up side down – as this matters in space LOL
Therefore the the underside become also a legit upperside.
A friend pointed out the view from the top and bottom being nice stand alone images, so the masks had a spin-off.
Long talk, here’s the full show, enjoy!

Metatrain
Meta is one of the rare Street Artists in my city who’s work is absolutely original. He inittiated a spontaneous project, after finding a book with pictures of trains in a pile of rubbish on the streets. He forwarded all of the countless fantastic images of real and model trains to many of his Graffiti and Street Art colleagues. I was lucky to be able to pick a train from the book and the SNCF Jouef BB 26000 locomotive immediately caught my attention with the vision of a brick-ified version. The project sat on my desk for about two years before recently I managed to make my version.
I concentrated on the basic shape, the color scheme and some distinct details. As just copying something in existence does not attract me, I decided to implement two twists. First of all I wanted to break the train while keeping the shape. Secondary I included my alias into the sides of the trains, referring to Graffiti and the expression bombing a train.
