Minifig Themed Habitats #19

Wednesday, 19th May 2021 By Caz

Recently I’ve been showing you my Monochrome Habitats project and neglecting the others I have built, so today I am presenting The Space Fan, The Spartan Warrior and The Beekeper.

The Space Fan is from CMF Series 20 and she immediately caught my eye – her cool top, spacey baseball cap and actual NASA rocket meant I had to build her a rocket scientit’s lab! I’m not sure how safe it is indoors, but you can even fire the engines!

Next up is a much older minifigure, the Spartan Warrior from Series 2. I felt he needed a big fort to guard, so here you can see him patrolling the battlements on the lookout for invaders. Or is he just wondering when the next shift are due?

The Series 21 Beekeper is another great minifigure who needed a habitat – he’s in his garden with a big hive, surrounded by plants and butterflies. His smoke can at the ready, he’s harvesting some tasty honey by the looks of it.

Ideas: Women of NASA (21312)

Wednesday, 8th November 2017 By Caz

I might have mentioned that I am a big space and NASA fan, and being an engineer too, I was very excited to learn that the LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (set 2132) was coming out. Female role models, figuratively and literally, and some cool little vignettes as well? Yes please!

I was delighted that my set arrived this morning, so I set to work putting it together.

It was a great build with each stage coming together nicely. The Space Shuttle seems to be about right for Micropolis scale – I can see another replica being built for my Space & Rocket Museum module – still in my head at the moment, but I will blog about it when it firms up.
