I've enjoyed building with Legos since I was very young. Lego Space has always been one of my favorite themes. When I was old enough to have outgrown the more basic Lego kits, the first Lego robotics kit came out, which was enough to rekindle my interest. More recently, I rediscovered Lego space, after coming across some of the intricately detailed creations built by other adults who, like me, have not lost touch with that inner child.
This is a rebuild of the train for my big M:Tron project. I tried to match the more angular look of the M:Tron sets with my first train, but I found that it didn't really match the look of the rest of the model. That led me to rebuild it in a more modern style.

Read more...The Manticore is my third SHIP (seriously huge investment in parts). At 180 studs, it is significantly larger than my first two SHIPs. It is my first foray into the realm of asymmetry.

Read more...It may be more than twice the size of many fighters, but with its massive engines the UB-TOA5T is hardly limited by its bulk. Agility that rivals most small fighters and enough fire power to match many larger ships make the UB-TOA5T a formidable enemy.

Read more...My second stair-climber design. I call it number 1 because it's faster and more efficient than my first design.
Read more...A robot that climbs the stair in my house. It can climb from the bottom all the way to the top without help.
