I finally decided to try to take photos a little better than usual. It is not easy when, like me, you discover the subtleties of this art.
So here we are with my 8 year old son in search of an ideal spot and some minifigs to take pictures, in this case all my War Machine minifigs, and Iron Man in different colors.
Meanwhile, my son opens and assembles the mini set 30141 LEGO Alien Conquest Jetpack and comes up with a cool idea: "How about we put the part that holds the Jetpack, the blaster and the binoculars on War Machine?"

And here is the result in picture. Well, I'm going back, I still have to work on my photography skills.

Note that the minifig are Christo customs with impeccable finish.

I come back to this MOC which was in the running for the competition organized on Eurobricks: Character Rides Personal Spaceship.

I fell back on it this morning and I took the opportunity to take an interest in the origins of this machine seen in the animated series Clone Wars.

At first glance we see that this is an obvious cross between the Venator (8039 Republic Attack Cruiser released in 2009) and the Frigate of the set 7964 Republic Frigate released in 2011. This ship appears several times in a few episodes of the animated series Clone Wars and in video games LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars.
This ship is also known in the Star Wars universe under the names of Republic Light Cruiser or Jedi Light Cruiser. Obi-Wan piloted one during the Battle of Saleucami.

Pedro, the author of this MOC, even planned an interior designed in the spirit of LEGO sets like the 6211 or the 7665, i.e. not proportional to the size of the ship but designed on a minifig scale, and in the end we get a creation that could largely be of the level of the LEGO production in the System range.

Decidedly Skrytsson is very inspired by Batman and his universe .... After an MOC staging Killer Croc in Bathroom Villain, he offers us a grandiose scene that is reminiscent of the Gotham City of LEGOmaniac in Batman Returns version, and directly inspired by Christopher Nolan's film released in 2008:  The Dark Knight.

He reproduces here the scene where Batman, riding his Batpod, rushes at full speed on the Joker standing in the middle of the street and spraying everything that moves with his gun ....

The building on the left is Gotham Bank, the one on the right is inspired by the movie universe. The scene is full of details, including a reconstruction of the attack on the bank by the masked henchmen of the Joker and there is even a Harvey Dent in bad shape surrounded by cans of gasoline on the verge of exploding ... We will also note the use of a particularly successful custom Joker minifigure.

To discover all these details and admire this MOC from every angle, go to the flickr gallery by Skrytsson.

The other store specializing in LEGO has just added some references to its catalog. On the menu, Darth Vader LED torch of 20 cm with luminous saber, the Darth Vader LED keychain 7 cm or the Blu-ray The Padawan Threat. Also adding many MISB Collector's sets, including Batman 2006/2008, with prices however quite high due to their rarity, and custom minifigs based on quality accessories (Arealight, Brick Warriors, etc.) very practical for those who do not want to order online in Taiwan or Great Britain.
Note that this shop offers like its competitors a loyalty program in the form of points (2 euros = 1 loyalty point and 1 point = 0,05 euro reduction) i.e. a significant 2.5% discount when you pay attention to your budget. Delivery is free from 29 euros of purchase (in mainland France).

For all intents and purposes, I'm not getting any money from this online store, and the guys who run this store are professional and cool enough that I'm talking about it here ....

It's not really a Star Wars MOC and yet ... Shannon Young built this motorized Juggernaut with two characteristic elements of a set we all know: 4481 Hailfire Droid released in 2003. This MOC indeed uses two parts x784 (Technic, Gear, Hailfire Droid Wheel) only available in this Star Wars set, which I also had a little trouble getting at a fair price ....

Shannon Young has integrated two engines Power Functions M (One for each wheel) and the Battery Box in the chassis of this rather well-designed remote control machine. The futuristic design is pleasant, the colors well chosen and the two wheels make their effect. Especially since they are perfectly functional, as evidenced by the video below.
