Let me start by showing the transformation from Mobile Battle Station Mode...

These flaps help to secure the straightened knee in vehicle modes (so that picking him up won't disrupt the structure of the MOC).  The flaps are not unhinged to tuck to the side of the legs .

Quickie of the Week #15 : The Making of LEGO Metroplex (updated 30/06/2015!)

As I slowly settled down to my new role as a parent ( hence the lack of updates in my blog for months), I started to think about what should I build next that  would be "easy" on my current schedule. This means something simplistic in transformation without requiring huge amount of time to brainstorm and figure out the engineering . Metroplex immediately fits the bill. :)

(Many years ago I first attempted to built Metroplex but it was amateurish-looking and he doesn't even have hands!) ,

And please forgive these untouched photo quality. :]

Quickie of the Week #14: 31033 leftover parts creation

Usually when I'm done building one of the alternate design from a Creator set, I lumped the leftover parts together by connecting them randomly into a thingamagic and put it asid, but for set 31033, this is too much...

LEGO 31032 Alternate Mode: Infernus with instructions !

It's been quite a drought the past 2 months or so. Due to important commitments in life, I haven't had any time to MOC anything....

LEGO 31034 Future Flyer Alternate mode: Future Flymech with instructions

(Update on 24th Jan 2015: Instructions links added at the end of this article)

To start things off, I would like to say.... this escalated very quickly indeed!
