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...

Happy New Years Eve! I thought as a special post to celebrate the end of the year, I would share a present I made for my friend who's birthday is on December 31st, who is also a fan of Lego, specifically star wars. This is a miniature MOC of the Slave 1, base color. Now, I know this isn't up to Lego's standards, but since I am not Bill Gates, nor Jeff Bezos, or Black Panther, and cannot afford Lego's official GIGANTIC sets, I have to make due with what I have. The Slave 1 most commonly flies like this, although I highly disagree with it.  In order to get the windshield look, I took two 1x2 curved slopes, and put one on top, and the other on it's side My model of the Slave 1 can also convert into the resting position, by just turning the guns on the back and the fins/wings.  When building, I find it easier to build in sections, for instance the Slave 1 was built as a bottom layer and the part on top, as in the real ship eve...

Hello and welcome to anther post from Legomatic. I know I just posted yesterday, but I had to get these on here, since I soon will(or already have) posted these on Lego Ideas. If you just came here from Lego Ideas, thanks for your support, and please consider following me on Ideas or me in Blogger to see even more cool MOCs. Lets dive it. To start off, here is a shot of all the Jaegers. For those of you who don't know what a Jaeger is, it is a 2 person piloted mech from The movie Pacific Rim and Pacific Rim Uprising.  Lets start off with my first one, Midnight Redeemer. And yes, I did name them all. If you have suggestions for better names, please comment them down below!  As you can see, he has two twin swords, which can easily detach from the clips on the wrists. Here on the back, you can faintly see the jump pack installed. I usually do jump packs in place of jet packs, because I feel that would make the Jaegers too OP. One final ability...
