Currently fantasizing of a Rogue Squadron-like game during the Clone Wars where you pilot V-19s with LAAT/c dropship missions.

It's done!!! Fleurana Tropical Gardens. I am so happy with this build, it has inspired me a ton and will lead to some exciting things in the future I think. Paradisa is my happy place, I transport there by building and it's so therapeutic! So many fun details in this one, I had a blast. :)

Oh no I love getting suggestions, even ones I don't use still make me think and reflect! In this case I did decide to keep it all light grey, it's meant to invoke the old Paradisa baseplates. Plus I want to keep the colors as simple as possible to capture that classic style.

Okay I think I am effectively happy with it!!! Like so happy, actually. Kinda feel like a real artist a bit? Like Paradisa to me is my version of paradise, like an alternate world that's just pure good. And the absolute perfect medium for that is a children's toy. Now to add the minifigures...

The LEGO Ideas Paradisa challenge is over in 4 days so I have to get working on this 😬 Move the Dolphins to the fountain instead of a topiary, love how it looks! Adding Flamingo ponds too, the addition of birds really brought things to life.

Mostly finished with the 2001/2-ear Scorpion! Will have actual treads, just missing the piece in LDD. Shot for a $40 price point, maybe $45. Also made a small $15 Hunter set! Inspired by Saber Scorpion's old design from way back then.

Oh ya I've always wanted to do EAW! I've heard it's really easy, it's more that my models of those ships are much bigger and have a ton more pieces and would require a lot more cleanup first. But, maybe some micro models like the Minikits from the old games? Giant Minikit as a space station??

Okay EXTRA fun thing about this Ghost, it's actually a mod of a very old Ghost model of mine from 2013. I put a file download up at some point and still had the link. Dont even have images of it up anywhere still. Picture this as a $10 set, 66 pcs. Little pricey but it's 3 new molds in a cheap set.

Trying some 2001/2-style Halo: CE tonight. I was thinking.. modding my LEGO models into games would be a very good way to transition to game dev and practice my skills while also advertising my instructions in an attention-grabbing way...

Finished renders of my classic-styled Paradisa Sand Bar Pier! 1773 pieces, made exclusively with parts that were available in 1998. Made for the LEGO Ideas Paradisa challenge. Really really fun build, I had a blast. Will definitely be doing more part challenges like this!

I have to be really honest, I love the show but I still cannot get over Ahsoka's lekku no matter how hard I try. I know it sounds silly but like, it doesn't at all invoke the same feeling as if they were longer. I just really wish they had used CGI, at least partially.

Also these are all for a hypothetical SWBF2 mod using animations imported from The Complete Saga. The Prequel-era vehicles are nearly done, and I have units/heroes fully worked out. Now to wait until I have time to start modding...

Been learning A LOT about LEGO set design of this era during this project. Having a set price in mind when I start designing has helped nail that classic look a ton. Trying to only use as much detail as necessary to sell the fantasy. Cheese slopes and realistic blasters mark the end of this era.

okayyyyyy Classic LEGO Star Wars models might have to be a thing for me. Details for each build in the alt text. Excited to make box art, and eventually stickers/instructions.

It can land, btw! Uses a simplified version of the most recent V-19 Torrent set's mechanism for the middle wing.

Made a Hellfire Droid companion set since we never got one back then either. The wheels should work too! They'd definitely break if you put force down on them, but just gently rolling over carpet they should be fine!

v3 of the Kobyashi Maru, giving the Eaves version more standard (but still huge!) pontoons. This is in my old 1:1250 scale for a commission, definitely gonna alter it to fit the new Ent-D scale afterwards!

Images reads:
When we talked to talked to you and Gaia a couple of weeks ago, you teased the season 2 finale a bit. So just to be clear, would you call it a cliffhanger?

Noga Landau: I would say it is a cliffhanger. It is a cliffhanger at the end of season 2.

The season 1 finale wraps up cleanly, even though you knew you had another season. But for season 2 you don’t know, so why go with a cliffhanger?

Noga Landau: Honestly it’s because we listened to what our story wanted to be, and we went with it. We wrote it the way that it felt organic and natural. And I hope we get to keep making many more seasons of Starfleet Academy, because we have a lot more story to tell.

Didn't get great renders, but it does include a mini Quark's Bar and working turbolift for the engineering module! This was for a crossover comic the customer is making, I haven't watched Doctor Who in ages but it was a really fun creative project.

The wing connection is actually very strong! Here's how the internals look, using angled technic beams that are locked in place. The transition between technic and bricks in the wings themselves is secured by the plates on top/bottom, which act as support beams.
