Engineers Workshop.

   I really like this. I don't build many dioramas or buildings so this is a bit of a different post than all the spaceships and armored vehicles you're used to seeing.

The rack of equipment and guns.

His desk with blueprints. I debated for a while over the problem of what color they should be. I went between white, light blue and normal blue.

An experimental jet engine with a cup of coffee sitting on it. Let's hope it's waterproof.

Two Tiny Interceptors.

   So I got the Jedi Interceptor set for my birthday. Needless to say it wasn't a day later that it was in pieces for other stuff. Anyhow, I decided to try my hand at building two identical ships out of the wreckage. I couldn't do it with just those parts so I used a few supplemental pieces. I think they turned out real well.
Wow! Look how I used more than one color! Also there is one difference. Lets see if you can spot it.

Very tiny landing gear.

It's pretty much all engine.

These were the only two identical guys I had who sort of fit the color scheme.

Bounty Hunter Ship.

I made this because I had the windshield lying around and I wanted to make another one man spaceship. I've been making several of them lately. Anyway, I don't really like this although it does look funny. I'll probably keep it around for some time though.                                                           



I probably should have included a view of the back when it's closed.

The Angry Beaver.

  It amazes me how even after I've used up all the pieces I normally use to make stuff with I can still make something. This was the result of some doodling while waiting for my brother to build something. And I've been playing  Pirate Galaxy.

And the landing gear.

 Well that's all. I'm going to be moving soon which means packing up ALL my Lego and transporting it which is gong to be a real pain.

Engineer Mercenary.

  So I was messing around with my minifigs and I made a little mercenary engineer. Then I built a couple of sentry guns and then I just kept building gear for him until I had a bunch of little stuff.


His two little sentry's. Simple and they look real good.

His dispenser. The compartment manufactures ammo in belts and clips, then there's a little sentry on the side to protect it and finally on the other side there's a coffee maker to refresh yourself.              

He has a couple of different mines. A anti-personnel claymore and some anti-tank mines. I'm especially proud of that claymore.                                                                                                    

He also has a variety of equipment to help defend and repair his equipment.

He uses a pistol as his firearm but he also has a walkie-talkie to communicate with his team, a wrench, and a gun with interchangeable heads. A harpoon, a grappling hook and a chainsaw.

From this terminal he can remotely use any of his turrets, monitor the damage they've taken and where they are, and he can also remotely destroy any of them.                

And here he is with all of his equipment.

M2 Grease Gun.

  I'm a lazybones. That's why I built this. Very simple and easy, plus it's small which means it fits more with my gun building abilities. It's my first actual real life gun and I thought it would be easiest to do a greaser than a Thompson. Lazy, lazy.
As you can see there's no elaborate shaping or anything. Pretty generic.

I turned some wheels inside out and placed them over a smaller wheel for this part.

My elaborate trigger guard.

I would have liked to build a pull out stock.

I had to build a five stud wide top and this is how I stuck it on.

As you can see it's pretty normal sized.

Life Size Bullpup Rifle.

  I started out making a P90, got about 2% of the way through and scrapped it. Then I started on a Steyr Aug. It quickly became clear though that it wasn't happening so I just decided to make my own bullpup rifle design. This is the result.
It is a little small for a rifle even after some modifications.

The handgrip is nice though. And sturdy.

Here's the removable mag.

And here is the socket. I put the minifig baseplate in there so there was still something for it to grip while making it easy to pull out.                                                                                                           

Since the stock and the rest of the gun were built at different angles it was much more than difficult to get the two together.                                                                                                                              

This is basically the barrel design for the sci-fi machine pistol I built.

As you can see it lacks size. I'm thinking of trying to build a grease gun next.
