Me and my brother (both more than 35 yo) spent the Easter finalizing our Lego project, began more than 1 month ago.

All the Lego are from our collection since we were kids, plus some spare grey parts bought on ebay!

What's next guys? Matriarch?

I really need to revisit this build again. I've been pulling parts from it at times. This build use to be my masterpiece, but y'all know what took over.

Starting the biggest project (so far) for this architecture series! Upon completion, this miniature model of the Hans Rosling Center for Population Health (HRC) will stand at 60 x 16 studs (18.9 x 5.0 inches) with an approximately 1:300 ratio.

The east module of HRC comprises of multi-grade entries from 15th Ave and campus, which is also the greatest challenge of this model. At a miniature scale, every single plate elevation change may proportionally affect size of the building, which had indeed changed throughout past 13 iterations that led up to this finalized version. While the exterior depth/height ratio may not resemble the more square-like look of the actual building, this has been sacrificed to allow for more accurate interior presentation across floors.

Over the next several months, I plan to continue designing the central block and western module (which includes Starbucks). This project is aimed to conclude in Summer 2026 (after graduation). In the meantime, I'll release several smaller models including the Quad, as requested by many of y'all in the past.

Many thanks to the publicly available floor plans and reference images found from Miller Hull, the humanitarian architecture firm that designed this building. As always thanks for all the community support that kept me motivated for this project.

Building a Lego tower since 2020

Behold! The SR-RV

Short Range Research Vessel

I have struggled to finally finish any moc, I go to great lengths to make something as large as I can, but have a hard time getting over the hill to the finish line. this one made it easier, because I forced myself to just make it about this model and not a pile of side projects.

I look forward to my next collective of models for later this year and so on! thank you for the likes and comments. I'll see y'all later!

In this pictures u can see the Beta-Version of my MOC of Johnny 5.
If i´d ask my mother, she woud say i´m working of this model since i´m a little child, but seriously im figureing on it for the last 7-8 years. There were a lot of different MOCs of it on the internet and many of them had a very beautiful design, have motorization, but was focused on a mix of scale, functions and hidden details. My idea was: "When im bluring my eyes a little bit, i should not recognize it was a Brick-Model or the real Robot!" and this is, what it is.

U can see here my beta-version, the first finished model i created the manuel of, which is standing on my desk.

I call this model J5Moc

Hope, u like it.

This mecha isn't on par with most of the mechas on this r/, but due to the scarcity of pcs and the unavailability of the crucial brick (4733) with 5 studs, it was all that I could do...

Saw some video about lego mechs and I tried something so here it is 😁

As you can see I still buy a Lego product if being a Fan demands to buy it anyways and forget about the pricetag.

Besides being a Starship Fan I'm also a huge Warship and History Fan - So besides the Acclamator Class that recently came out, I also did try a Warship MOC from a different brand.

Both things did cost exactly 50 Bucks.

My focus is on what I get from it as a display model and what experience I have during my onetime build.

The difference (and I do not mean the Brick Quality, which actually isn't worse) is shocking.

The first page on the building instructions basically is the first warning. You do not just get 2200 pcs less from the original Lego model, the first instructions page also shows who has the focus on the experience you have and who is trying to tell you that he saves the planet and offers you another product 🤣
