Monofigure Habitats #3

Monday, 19th April 2021 By Caz

I have three more Monofigure Habitats to show you today, Ms Green The Mermaid, Mr Medium Nougat The Baker and Mr Yellow, the Pharaoh.

The Mermaid is sitting at the bottom of the ocean surrounded by seaweed, an old ship’s wheel and some bubbles heading for the surface. She’s about to bite into a tasty apple, but I’m not sure where she found that under the water!

The Baker has been busy baking pretzels for his customers. The bakery also features some baguettes, some jars of flour on the shelf and a rather alarming looking spider hoping to gather a few crumbs!

This Pharaoh was obviously very important, because he has been interred in a very ornate pyramid. I got the hidea for this habitat from the excellent headdress piece, and everything else followed from there. The walls are decorated with frescoes but the poor pharaoh appears to be roaming around inside – perhaps he’s on the lookout for grave-robbing archeologists!

My first six Monofigure Habitats were all designed physically first, but as I got further into the project, I decided to use Stuid.io to design the Habitats before ordering the pieces I needed. The programme has the option to just show pieces in one specific colour, which was invaluable for being able to see the more unusual elements which were available to make each model. I’ve been juggling BrickLink wish lists for months now! Some of you asked if you will see more than three habitats stacked together – the answer is yes. But not yet, as I don’t whant to spoil the reveal of the finished project, which ist still in progress!

MOC: Pythagoras Place

Thursday, 22nd February 2018 By Caz

I had some transparent yellow 1×2 bricks left over from those I needed for another model, plus some white 1×2 bricks from my Watford PAB haul, and thought they would go well together. I also found some triangular bley plates which became the roof and steered the design of the rest of it – hence the nod to the Greek mathematical genius, I decided to call it Pythagoras Place.

I see it as an office block in my downtown area. While the atrium at the front has huge windows, round the back is a  bit more enclosed. But there are some round skylights up top among the solar panels on the roof. These two bespoke tiles (2431pb499) came from the second Women of NASA set which I bought to build the Space Shuttle and Boosters for my Air & Space Museum.

MOC: Rainbow Town

Monday, 16th October 2017 By Caz Leave a Comment

I  have decided to start a separate blog for all my LEGO bits as the Toybox was getting a bit crowded with little blocks of plastic – and some of the builds I now create are a bit less “toy” than the stuff over there. Plus, I’ve recently come out of my Dark Ages and wanted to share the fun. I hope you enjoy.

Rainbow Town

Rainbow Town was made with one of my first big boxes of LEGO bits bought when I emerged from my Dark Age. I liked sorting them into colours and thought I would see what I could make out of each set. I’m not sure if its some sort of dystopian nightmare or if it would be a nice place to live!
