This little fort was my entry for a "Build a Micro Castle" kind of contest over at Gricks forum and i had 2 days to do so!
Building micro or castle was new for me and i had so much fun!!

I was heavily influenced by this awesome Tavernellos's vignette www.flickr.com/photos/tavernellos/3957718007/in/faves-256...

The base of the rock is the air blast launcher base part 87941
and if you want to make it "lego compatible" you need to fit this part 4854 in the hole (which is slightly smaller than 3x4 studs wide) at the top of the rock part.

Here is NOT my entry for FBTB Palpatine's Shrink-O-Matic Ray Contest (Unfortunately it doesn't fit the rules)

The microfig resembles IG-100 MagnaGuard wearing his tan cape...

I've been a huge fan of stance movement (lowride, stretched tires, negative camber,...) for many years now, and all these years i've tried persistently to add this aggressive look in my lego cars, especially in the small ones which is even harder.
Eventually i came up with many different techniques for 8-wide and more cars but i still wanted badly to make one for minifig scaled cars mainly cause i had the perfect wheel for the job. DUB wheels

Fortunately i did it! I managed to narrow it down to 6-wide scale!

Check the short tutorial i've made about these stanced chassis over at Gricks forum or
click the arrows below to see some animated instructions.

So what's better way to introduce these chassis than building this beautiful slammed (extremely lowered) truck on them?!
The chassis i used under this truck is a combination of a 6-wide (front) and a 7-wide one (rear)!

Having used this beautiful mini V engine not only in last year's little hot rod but also in my next rat rod, i thought it would be nice to make animated instructions since it's made only of 17 pieces.

This little evil guy was my entry for the Build Your Custom Minifigure And Win A Super Star Destroyer Contest or something like that (there was no english title for this).
This was the first Gricks forum contest with many more to come!
Gricks (Greek Lego Users Group) is the first Greek LUG, about a year old but online active since October!

The minigun is based on Nannan's genius minigun

Carroll Shelby's favorite production car

I knew this idea would work since late 2011 when i noticed the new shorter mudguards TLG was about to produce for 2012. I was obviously influenced by _lichtblau_'s Cobra. After that i was working on it a little bit at a time as i usually do when i want to create something as good as it gets for my taste.

Unfortunately on May 11th the automotive legend Carroll Shelby passed away at the age of 89.
The man behind the legendary performance cars Shelby Cobra, Shelby Mustang GT500, Ford GT40, Dodge Viper... was a personal favorite! So i thought it would be nice idea to some kind show my respect with this MOC.

I like to think of this creation as a tribute to the greatest automotive icon Carroll Shelby

Tiny Tumbler (ANIMATED INSTRUCTIONS)

There it is...
After many requests for making instructions for the Tiny Tumbler (60% _Tiler's) i thought it would be nice to try this kind!
Click the arrow below to see the animation
It is an animated GIF made of 46 different images showing step by step how this model is built.
Images are straight copied from the LDD program and after little photoshop work the result is cool enough for me!
It's also a time-consuming process but when it comes to small models it is doable!
I will consider it again when i come up with a small model like this...

ZetoVince posted a photo:

I couldn't resist...
Right after i saw Tiler's exquisite Mini Tumbler i started building my own!
It was a really fun build and i ended up with a modified one using my own adjustments...as our hobby demands and allows at the same time!
It is 60% based on the original Tiler's Mini Tumbler and i named it "Tiny" because i think it's more appropriate since it's tiny turbo scale.

Batman Desk Plate

ZetoVince posted a photo:

This idea was in my head ever since i laid my eyes on an amazing similar but much smaller batman's logo sculpture made by Nathan Proudlove! Check this

It's a desk/shelf ornament made of 103 parts
All it needs is to be placed by or in front of a window to give this excellent glowing effect!

Transparent background made of 1x1 and 1x2 plates and 1x1 tiles

Trophy Truck

ZetoVince posted a photo:

I came up with this truck while i was working on a new suspension technique for minifig (or not) vehicles!
I have to admit that i was influenced a lot by a Lego set (OMG i didn't believe i would ever say that!!). It was always on my mind to make a trophy truck or a prerunner but i was not satisfied with the fenders i was using. But when i saw the first pics of 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape i knew i would use that kind of fender on my trophy truck!

ZetoVince posted a photo:

-how the chassis is connected to the frame
-how the suspension works and
-what the rear (lovely aren't they?!) wheels are made of

You can see that changing the grey liftarms with other longer or shorter ones it can fit under many vehicles of different size!

Here is my entry for the amazing FBTB's 2012 Podracer Challenge
I think Super Wrestler is the best minifigure from all the Collectible Minifigures series and i'm very happy i 've built a podracer for him!
The wrestling ring's ropes made of 2x hose nozzle with 35L black string. Plain-no cuts, no glues!

Sorry for reposting this photo (losing all previous comments) but i had to remove my signature from the previous per the rules :(

Got 5th place!
Thanks everyone voted for this!

Porsche 930 a.k.a 911 Turbo (1975-1989)

I made this beauty 2-3 months ago and i was waiting for a proper idea for photoshooting...but as you can see i ended up with nothing so i decided to do a plain photoshoot like this!

Wheels assembly: 6014b+51011+50945
The wheels are fully functional and the chassis stands about 1mm from the ground!
