I just made my own forums live over the weekend.

The main purpose at this time is to allow me to release some of the LDR files that go with some of my MOC’s, enable more info to be posted without creating more pages and bogging down my main site, allow others to share their MOC’s and enable some open discussions on some subjects and MOC’s.

Working on my 3rd revision of the hub and geared areas of the E-126 MOC. These new revision are being made in MLCad so at some point I will have whole MOC made in LDR and MLCad.

The picture below is how it is looking. The center MOC is to scale and is the finial size. The lower white bricks at the bottom of the MOC is the width of the tower at its base. This base is only 3 bricks tall to show the height of a Minifig. And this model is made to Minfig scale if the Minifig was 6ft tall in real life.

Setup my log cabin with a modified base to fit the community window at the Columbus Ohio LEGO ® store.

Post some progress of my newest Windmill designed to look and be to scale of the E-126 Wind Turbine.  So if a minifig was a 6ft person in real life (Minifig = 6ft Tall thanks to Dave’s LEGO® scale Converter) this LEGO E-126 will be a staggering 16ft tall when one of the blades is turned up. The base of the tower is 48 studs wide, and each blade is 4.6 ft long…...

Many years ago I wanted to see how many different ways I could add bends, corners, and other changes in the LEGO train track layouts. Without needing to warp, bend, or make smaller filler track sections so the loops would connect.

I used Track designer 2.0 to make my studies and layout. Since then…......

Since early 2003 I have been making various types of roads made out of LEGO bricks. In this entry I will talk about my current version I use. And share with the how and whys.

What started as a study in MLcad and Pov-Ray has evolved into some very interested renders. What I mean in renders is I create a scene as a photographer would in the studio but with in a CAD version made for creating LEGO models in the digital world. I then take these virtual models and choose the light and camera specs, just as a photographer would do. But I can….

Working on my newest MOC currently and I had to demolish my Triple arched Bridge for the parts needed. That was a sad day, but the bridge will be reborn as an even better MOC…..

Well I had this done to this point for all most a year and figured I should post it anyway even in an unfinished state. I will have a total of 5 big trees (only 3 are done now and those need correct colored trunks). The other 2 are just the bottom trunks and shafts for the trees….

Yesterday RailBricks magazine released their latest edition to the public. And you will find an article written by myself with in the covers…

One of my favorite building techniques for building homes is the classic log cabins.

In an attempt to make a log cabin out of LEGO I worked out these designs. May be some day LEGO will make a log cabin set. But until then I will give my best instructions for building with a log cabin techniques. The secret for building these are the under floors.

I have Technic bricks with 4 bricks between each Technic brick…...

A few years ago I wanted to do some large Mosaics made out of LEGO bricks. While planning the project I realized how expensive the finished model would be.

In an effort to find a cheaper way to make Mosaics out of LEGO bricks I came up with this style. Still have not picked a name but so far the best explanation is “flexible self-supporting accordion style mosaic.”...
