LEGO Creations
These are most of my MOCs (MOC = My Own Creation). They've all been displayed in public at one time or another, including BrickFair Virginia 2014-2019. I got into the hobby as an adult (AFOL = Adult Fan of LEGO) in 2012 after a couple decade hiatus (commonly known in the community as the dark ages).

|
This is a six-foot long modified version of set 60051, with dual-level passenger car, in a different color using custom decals I designed

Back to the Future Delorean time machine based on model 21103 and the Lybian terrorist van.
|
An extra large mobile crane in minifigure scale, based on one of the word's most powerful, the Liebherr LTM 11200.

My first Micropolis build. About 600 pieces. Using complex geometry.
|
Tim's Tools: the green building in the background, using a FabuLand shovel from the 1980s
|
Davis & Allemann: I thought the names on the printed tiles from the Ideas set 21315, Pop-up Book, sounded like a lawyer's office, so that's what this is.
|
A classic steam engine inspired by the Constitution Train Chase, but built in my own way, for an old Western-themed layout. Includes caboose using parts from the 1960s (windows) and today.

Another classic steam engine, but built entirely in red, including very rare parts never included in sets.

|
Kevin's Spaceship: I built a flying saucer for Kevin Hinkle since he needed one, obviously.
|
Mayan Pyramid: my "High-Flying UFO" needed a new base, since I recycled the original for a new project, so I built this based on El Castillo, the Temple of Kukulcan in Mexico.
|
Crystal Pyramid: a simple design by repeating a single part, a 1x2 trans-clear sloping brick, there are 480 total. Includes color-changing light with remote control.
|

Custom 1950s Pickup: This is a modified version of set 10290. It was completely rebuilt to look mostly the same, but lowered as far as possible. The grill was made to look like a late 1940s, early 1950s Chevrolet truck.
