BrickWorld Pirate Display

This is a relic post. (Content pre-blog) From BrickWorld 2011, kinda fell apart at the end, but it did still manage to turn out fairly nice. It has lights for all of the fire and the windows of the fort. The switch is in the middle palm tree. You can also see my small cottage here. Yay it turned out better after I got home! Couldn’t take any decent photos so this one is by Bill Ward.

LEGO Scenes Dump

This is a relic post. (Content pre-blog) Christmas in June! Something from earlier this year that I submitted into a EuroBricks Contest. One of the first photos with my Nikon and its Star Warsy. Side note: Today’s my birthday and the cake is not a lie. A really old creation I edited while working on the Big City Skater. An attempt at ‘mosaicing’. Was suppose to be a sun, but ended up more like a nuke. Had some nice weather […]

Evolution of a Starfighter

This is a relic post. (Content pre-blog) Over the course of 2 years I slowly made modifications and reworks to my starfighter as I learned new techniques and built out its appearance. Aerosyke Concept The idea/general shape was based on a very rough sketch I did sometime back. Additionally I wanted to try a shape that I had never really done before with a starfighter. All stickers are official if you count cutting them in some places. Other stickers are […]

Imperial Trading Post

This is a relic post. (Content pre-blog) Would have been an entry for JRC: II (Jolly Roger Contest), but since I can’t enter its a pseudo entry. A remake of 6227 Imperial Trading Post. I’m happy with how all the details turned out. Sorry for the shoddy photography too. Hopefully it’ll last long enough until the snow and crappy weather goes away. =( View everything on BrickShelf.

World in Conflict – LEGO

This is a relic post. (Content pre-blog) World in Conflict was a LEGO collaboration in which builders were given different countries then told to make armies, weapons, and scenes showcasing the interactions between countries. Political drama was manufactured and builders found ways to represent what was happening in this fictional universe. Learn more about WiC here: https://www.flickr.com/groups/wic-2067 Late last night the dormant Spanish nation has allied with UAF with the recent turmoil between the UAF and NSA. This is likely […]

Cleveland State 2011

This is a relic post. (Content pre-blog) These photos were taken while I was still experimenting with my new-ish Nikon. I had had plenty of experience photographing toy models, however portrait and architecture photography was proving to be another beast entirely. These works definitely helped me gain a level of comfort with other styles of photography. North Eastern Ohio Conference Swim Meet. I placed 7th and 9th overall in my events. Very happy with how I did.

Digital Art 2

This is a relic post. (Content pre-blog) These were all created for my digital art class. View my works from Digital Art 1 over here: http://zackmilenius.com/blog/2010/06/10/digital-art-class/ Practicing with opacities. We’ll say its a company of the FUTURE. Inspiration from SpoonGraphics. Follow me on Twitter. Just playing around with the opacity again. Now I’m trying to work it into a new website logo. I’m really happy with how this looks though. More abstractness. Not really sure whats going on here, but […]

NinjaGO

This is a relic post. (Content pre-blog) A dojo deep within the mountains. In this dojo NinjaGo practice their Spinjitzu in peace and harmony… or can they? Assembling all of these Ninja ideas into one creation. Loads of fun to build and I’m really happy with the final outcome. Originally I was hoping to have it done for CCCVIII, but time didn’t permit. I do like the LEGO playset style it has though. AfroNinja by Powerpig. Not really NinjaGo, but […]

Police Cruiser

This is a relic post. (Content pre-blog) This model was created for a contest where contestants are sent several of an extremely unique LEGO piece to then create MOCs with inventive uses for the odd piece. A small two-seater police cruiser for Inspectors of the Space Police force. The idea was to somehow include this part and I feel I used it successfully while creating a well-rounded vehicle.
