Sail boat November 2013

This is one of the best MOCs I did though my dad helped me with it, especially in the sail part. We did use some non-lego strings and sails because we didn´t really have much variety of lego those days, but enough to build a decent boat. In this creation I quite remember the difficulty of creating good figures. I enjoyed trying to use the legos I had to create characters suitable for the sail boat. Regardless of being small in this picture and not that clear you can guess that there are 2 minifigs on the boat.
The one at the back is commanding the ship - I tried to make him look like an old experienced sailor.

The one at the front is a younger man wearing nice sunglasses and a cool hair style. The ´younger´ lego figure is also wearing a life jacket which makes the sailor seem professional because he is not wearing one - he is probably very confident.

You might have noticed the kind of bumpers on the side of the boat. They are to avoid the boat from hitting when it is close to the port. Sadly, I don´t remember what bricks were used.

Finally, I put a flag at the back. In real boats it´s supposed to be of a country, but I only have single coloured and flags designed for racing sets.

My MUM´s car (December 2013)

In 2013, the passion for lego gave me the inspiration to  do a birthday present to my mum made out of lego!
I think that finally I did add wheels on, though in this particular photo (the 2nd picture) it doesn´t. I believe that in those ages, I was very focused on getting the interior of the car right. But for the age I had ( 8) I´d say I did a good job on the outside too.

                                                               

On the first photo you can see the version of my ´lego mum´ and the car with wheels.

On the first picture I´ve also added a couple of extras. I guess it was suposed to be an AUDI of some kind.

Modern supercar Aston Martin (November 2015)

 FRONT VIEW

To create this sports car, I used a variety of different techniques. Though what was really very helpful was that I used the base and other ideas that also appear in the creator speedster. I don´t have the set but I went on internet to check the instructins out. As the title says, this is an Aston Martin. Even though the headlights aren´t the same I just decided to do a different version than normal Aston Martins. The same with the exhaust tubes, I made it seem faster with six!

BACK VIEW  

One of the issues is that minifigures don´t fit in terms of  hight. For this reason this car would be in the theme of design more than to play with. But I believe the car has many benefits too.

THE ART OF THE BRICK exhibition

THE ART OF THE BRICK, one of the top ten ´must see global expositions` contains sculputures that Nathan Sawaya, a certified professional from lego has done in his artist career. After reaching many other places, the exposition has finally arrived to Barcelona. It is here from March 17th to June 12th so if you lego fans live close by, don´t waste your chance!

Different to most other lego expositions, instead of big cities with minifigures this one (as the name says) shows a more artistic aspect of lego. Normally each sculpture is the same colour too, though some can reach 80 000 bricks - the dinosaur. At the end you´ve also got a ´playroom´which extends to the lego shop with Nathan Sawaya stuff and lego official products.

I was quite excited and proud with the fact of seeing things that I had already seen before and, at the same time, of other surprising sculptures which you can see below:

LEGO real sized electric guitar 2014

The guitar wasn´t very resistant due to it´s structure: I went building upwards. It is also because of the pieces used, I am quite sure that it would be better with technic bricks because of the way they join together. The details were added 100% by the depth of the bricks, probably the only creation I built with these characteristics.

LEGOLAND (Germany) 2010

Here are some photos of one of the best trips we had: legoland. As you see in the picture above there is a minifigure sized football pitch.





The airport has realistic planes and the airport itself.

Venice! 

HAVE A NICE APRIL 2016!!!!
