Hello and welcome to a post from Legomatic, and today we'll be looking at my first attempt at building in Steampunk, a fantastical concept that is extremely fun to build in. If you are from Lego Ideas, please consider supporting my project, it would mean a lot. I imagine the story behind this, is that in the modern world, an old, fanatical AI developed back when steam engines were used in every device has watched the world develop before him. He is insulted by the gleaming, white, seamless devices and wants to bring back what once was. In order to make his dream reality, he has renovated one of his long dead masters projects into something a little more sinister, to exact his vision upon everyone else, whether they like it or not. Here is the machine, The ST33m 550, a walker armed with dual rodburn cannons. It runs off coal(of course), stored in a internal tank, which then heats rods of metal within to white hot temperatures, which are then expelled out the end, bu...

Hi everyone, welcome to a Legomatic post! In this post, I'll be showing the Tree of Musical Life, my entry for the Lego IDEAS contest, Music To Our Ears(enter while you still can!)  I'll go through each part individually, to explain it all. Here is the Tree of Musical Life, which looks a little weird until you notice the trunk is a quarter note, slightly tilted. At the very base is the first flute ever created, which I believe planted the music that came into the world. From there, music sprouted out into different forms that we know today. In this model, we have(from left to right): An Australian playing a Didgeridoo A Native playing an Animal Skin Drum An American playing a Electric Guitar An International Pop Star on her Mic A European on a piano A Scot playing his Bagpipes While they are all vastly different, they all came from the same joy, the same desire, to make music, the one thing we can all understand one way or another. Sinc...

Hello and welcome to a Legomatic post, brought to you by Legomatic. In this post, I'll be showing my entry for a super cool Lego Ideas Contest, Replicate Your Heroic Minifigures in Battle! Link right here . Here is my entry, Area 51 Breakout! The idea is that after the failed raid on Area 51, the aliens and government projects realized that if they wanted to get out, they were gonna have to do it themselves.  Up top, the aliens found a Band Gun, that wraps it's victims with a not-so pleasant hug. That poor main level guard is doomed! In this scene is also a Spi-droid and Cyb, the half finished artificial intelligence. Probably why he's using a fish. On the bottom level, The containment guard is being hurled through the air as the alien prisoner smashes through the wall! In an atempt to stop his, the guard grabbed his chains and tried to pull him back, which was a horrible idea. One things for sure, this guard is wishing he'd...

Hello, Legomatic is back! Today I'm sharing a Lego creation which I built for a Lego Ideas Activity. If you don't know what an Ideas Activity is, it comes from the Lego Ideas page, but instead of voting on models to become sets, their just fun inspiration where everyone posts what they've made, and we all just enjoy each others builds. This weeks activity was to build a castle on a 8 x 8 baseplate, and here's what I made, The Castle of Ephrasia! This castle is built on a rocky mound, suspended in the air. The only way to enter is to climb up a vine on the side and scale your way up. The castle is in ruins, from decades of being left, abandoned. One cool technique you can do to make the dirt on top of a rock really look like it should be there is by making it sort of "droop" over the side. I discovered this also works in Minecraft, to any aspiring terraformers out there! Another thing you can do to make your builds pop is to use uncon...

Hello Lego friends! This is Legomatic. I thought we'd take a break from all the spaceships and mechas, and thought we'd go into the realm of DRAGONS! Here is my MOC, A Corner of Fantasy. This is a pretty detailed build, so I'll walk you through it in just a moment. First is the upper portion, where you see the dragon trainer with a drumstick, trying to convince the dragon to come to him. The dragon, perched curiously, is observing what the funny person down there is doing. The top includes rocks, ruins, and wild, sprawling plants. Down below is the dragon's unseen treasure of a pile of gold! Pillars and stone walkway hint at this site originally being a structure of some kind, a perfect place to stash a dragon's hoard. The rock formations were made with layers of overlapping plates. Another view. Here is the landscape without any figures. I also forgot to mention the fire the dragon had put there earlier. Here is the train...

Hello and welcome to another post from your favorite Blogger, LEGOMATIC! I have a big project ready for unveiling, and it's just as big as my War Machine Hulkbuster, which is my most popular post right now! If you are coming from Lego Ideas, please consider supporting my project on there. Anyway, lets get right on. Here is Dark Steel, an arena mecha. The story is that in the future, people decide that the best way to decide on anything is to battle it out, with the winner incapacitating the other mecha. No guns, lasers, missiles, or projectiles of any type. Only brute force allowed. Each city has their own mecha champion, and this one here is Billund, Denmark's current one in the year 2999.  Here is Dark Steel, who boasts armor covering it's whole body, 10 appendage joints, 12 claw appendages, 360 degree head rotation, wheels on the feet, and an opening chest. Here's the back view. Hmm, I wonder what those wheels on the back are for? Oh...

Hello and welcome to a post from Legomatic! Today I'm showing some custom minifigures I'm entering in a Lego Ideas activity about making custom minifigures. This first one is a futuristic bounty hunter, equipped with a Lichtenberg rifle, which delivers shocks up to that of lightning, a visor feeding him info, and shield gauntlets, which protect him from attack. Next is an Area 51 guard, specially charged with keeping the aliens under wraps. Protected inside a bio suit and equipped with a laser gun. Pew pew!  This one here is what I imagine Kai from NINJAGO would look like if he practiced magic. This is Kai, the fire mage. Fitted with armour that allows him to breath as he fights, and a silver arm, to look cool. Can use incantations to build fire constructs to help aid his ninja abilities. This here is mech pilot. He MAY appear soon in another post. His armor is made specifically to sync up with the suit he wears and to mimic his motions, like in Paci...

Hello and WELCOME to a new post from Legomatic! Last time we looked at a cutom Slave 1 moc, and today we're showcasing another Moc, The Starnight. If you are coming from Lego Ideas, welcome! If you are coming from Reddit, also welcome! Let's jump right in. A bit of backstory, I had to take apart my favorite Lego set of all time, set 70595 NINJAGO Ultra Stealth Raider for a school project. Once that happened, I couldn't let it's legacy go to shame. To let it live on, I built the Starnight, a space fighter built in the same style, that's sort of a shadow of the original set. The Starnight's dimensions are about 7.25"x 5.5" x 2.5" (in studs, about 23 x 17.5 x 8), so it's pretty small. Inside you can find a spacious cockpit, with enough room to comfortably seat 2 minifigures, 3 if you don't care about comfort. On either side is a 6 stud shooter, something which the original set also had. I might update some o...
