Monofigure Habitats #4

Friday, 23rd April 2021 By Caz

Installment number four of my Monofigure Habitats project brings us three more colouful characters – The Starlet, The Dapper Gentleman and The Dive Master.

The Bright Pink Starlet was definitely influenced by a certain Batman minifigure wearing a bright pink tutu and cowl. I thought this version needed a lavish dressing room to get ready for her next appearance on the big screen.

The Dark Purple Dapper Gentleman is taking a promenade along the street with his bag slung over his shoulder, and he is also wearing his best coat tails and top hat.

Meanwhile, the Orange Dive Master is loading up his dinghy with diving equipment and is about to set sail from the harbour to explore the deep.

Like the previous trio of Monofigure Habitats, there were designed digitally first in Stud.io, with the parts required being transferred to a BrickLink wish list for each. I extracted what I already had in my collection and then set about acquiring the other bits from various BrickLink sources. Once all the bits were gathered together, I was then able to build the habitat from my digital file quite easily.

Big Orange Storage – Micropolis Block #187

Friday, 19th June 2020 By Caz

A few months ago I saw an image on Google of a large, blocky building with a letterbox-style inset around two sides on the first floor. I thought about it for a while and eventually this design formed the seed of the idea for this building, Big Orange Storage.

Today’s video shows another office block, this time it’s called Tangerine House, an office for Downtown.

MOC: Separator Citadel

I started building this back in November but for various reasons, it never got put on a proper base until March ’18. It is built from a collection of Brick separators and some PAB parts I had in my drawers. I christened the 1/4 block Separator Citadel.

MOC: Venom Security Inc.

Friday, 26th January 2018 By Caz

Several factors came together recently to produce this crazy, ostentatious, menacing edifice which I dubbed Venom Security Inc. The hapless citizens of Micropolis are under the mistaken impression that this is just a firm of security experts, but in fact the building houses the thinly-disguised HQ of the Micropolis Secret Service!

The main components of the build were again PAB finds – black 1×2 grille bricks, orange 1×2 bricks (with a few slopes thrown in from a play brick box) and those three big cockpit pieces which I found in the “nearly gone” PAB secret stash at Stratford. They made perfect skylights for the otherwise fairly windowless building.

And then of course there are all the other mad trans-neon-orange greebles everywhere – most of which came from that mixed eBay lot a few days ago. I was able to pick through the boxes and find loads of useful stuff to embellish it with.

Even better, if you turn the lights off and shine a UV torch at the place, it glows menacingly in the dark! Spooky.

I really like this 1/2 block module, and it’s probably one of my favourite Micropolis builds so far.

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!
