The Ark is a mile-long spacecraft on a 100-year mission to colonise a distant planet. The rotating centrifuge provides artificial gravity to support a biome representing all the world’s ecosystems.
The model has approx. 10,000 LEGO elements supported on a custom steel frame and uses LED lights and Power Functions motors to turn the centrifuge. The biome models were built by Rogue Bantha and Inthert; and the circuitry for the reactor lights was provided by Rick Fornalski. Officially a SHIP at 116 studs high and about 110 studs long, as well a MASSIVE investment in parts and time; the project took over a year to design and build. Look back through the album to see some of the stages in constructing this monster.
Because the Corona Virus cancelled most LEGO shows this year the Ark has yet to be seen by a wide audience. Hence, I’ll be presenting an AFOL MOC Talk as part of Brickcon on the 4th October at 8am PDT / 4pm BST where I’ll show the model in detail and switch the motors on to spin the centrifuge; as well as talking about a few other recent builds. Go to brickcon.org to buy tickets. Hopefully in 2021 the Ark will set sail to select LEGO shows in the UK.

The Elders built a machine to snatch stars from heavens.
Now the nights are long and dark. We think they succeeded.

I rediscovered the lifesize Minifigure mug in my kids DUPLO and immediately asked myself, whether it would be possible to use it in a MOC. And it actually kind of fits with the LEGO measurements! So I created this space ship. To connect the cockpit section and the thruster I used some big old balloon tyres from LEGO Technic and used the cross-axle connection of the rim to build from there.

A modern tree house inspired by a house by A.Masow Architects. About 4500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used. Reference images.
