Back in 2005 I built what might be the only M.O.C. (My Own Creation) that has stayed together. You see, I build and tear apart. I find the joy of Lego, is it’s ability to be reused. But this little WWII Jeep won a special place with me, and now lives on display in my bookcase.
I had built an accompanying Howitzer, but sadly, it did not survive the temptation of needing it’s parts.

Here is another of my micro builds. In a night’s time I sketched out this mini salvage fleet. Consisting of a container/crew ship, bomber, and fighter. You can get the basic ‘scale’ from the one-person cockpit of the fighter on the right.
From that, the bomber and cargo ship should be fairly obvious. None of the ships have many working details, and obviously no interior to show. It turns out the first ship I built was the cargo ship. The idea in my head was to just experiment with some snot (Studs Not On Top) techniques and micro scale. My only other goal was to make it look cool, which I think I accomplished.
From there I decided I wanted to build a few support ships, because of course, in my Lego Space, there are always space pirates to defend against.
Finally a blog post pertaining to the name of the site. . .
If you didn’t realize, I’m still a big fan of Lego. For the most part, I am at the point that I collect sets for parts, and seldom create what Lego tells me to with the included instructions. I keep most of my parts sorted by color, and build in color schemes when appropriate. However, I still keep a small amount unsorted and in one container so I can still ‘sketch’ if you will. This is one of those such creations. While waiting for a legal time to go to sleep and nothing on t.v. to numb my mind, I created a patrol tank. It’s bright color scheme is the same idea of a black & white cruiser. Make yourself seen, so you don’t have to file a police report.
