Quickie of the Week #5: Dilemma! Dilemma!

Current work in progress is 90% done now, albeit some parts of the right color require a visit to bricklink.com soon.  I'm now at a crossroad. Which design should I go for ?

Quickie of the Week #4: I'm in c2age & Work in Progress

Today is pretty eventful. I've just took some of my LEGO creations to be exhibited under Transmy booth in c2age event in Kuala Lumpur, which is happening right now and tomorrow . For those who are nearby , here's the only chance to see my LEGO Transformers in the flesh (the other option would be paying me a visit to my humble house =)

For those who are smart enough to follow me on Instagram (why aren't you already?) , you will have the privilege to get hints on what I am currently building with LEGO.

I would like to share my progress with you so far, especially when I managed to tackle challenging hurdles. Here is one fine note-worthy example:

Unlike most LEGO TF I built before (where I have to find ways to tuck in the robot arms inside the alternate mode snugly ),  this one is different. Now I have excess vehicle part to form the arms and I have to find ways to "compact" them up.

LEGO Dreadwind

Inspired by G1 Dreadwind, the idea to make this MOC came suddenly when I disassemble a recent official LEGO creation to be put back into  my pile-of-bricks.  (no points for guessing correctly which set I am referring to!) . It had been on my display shelf for more than a year and I was in the mood to do some housekeeping. In the midst of wondering what can  I do with such a huge pair of wing parts, Dreadwind appeared into my brain. (before that I was contemplating on making a jet plane MOC ... and shortlist a few "contenders", namely Windsweeper ,Dogfight and Needlenose )

Anyway, original G1 Dreadwind (above)  is a powermaster figure,where a human-like figure (An alien race called Nebulon actually) transform into an engine-block-thingy , plugging into the toy, to unlock the transformation.  Since I'm not too keen of making a LEGO equivalent of that using minifigures, I skipped implementing it. But fear not! I have something else up my sleeves ... do read on =)

LEGO Optimus Pram / Chibi Optimus Prime

As you can see, this is not a typo I made on the blog title :)

Shadow Wing: LEGO 31021 Furry Creatures alternate built

I was looking forward to getting set 31021: Furry Creatures since last year because the boxart itself showed incredible amount of parts that will be useful for my MOC. All those slopes and woah... it doesn't dissapoint! 

LEGO Powermaster Optimus Prime (aka Ginrai) Part 2 of 2!
