Additionally, this is a special International Tiger Day because we are in the Year of Tiger according to the Chinese Zodiac. It just so happens that the tiger is also my favorite animal. Therefore, it was important for me

We have reached the end of Castles Week 2022. While today’s entry is not a castle per se, it was inspired by the theme of old. My first LEGO® dragon was from the Fright Knights sub-theme. Consequently, it was all black with red wings. I decided that I wanted to design a larger, brick-built, black dragon. Sadly, my dragon MOC

A while back, I built the LEGO® Art World Map. I found the process to be enjoyable. Consequently, I have been itching to try my hand at another Art set. However, I decided the next set I bought would be on sale. It just so happened that I found the Mickey Mouse kit on sale at the LEGO® Store. It

When I was a kid, my younger sister and I built and played with LEGO® bricks together. However, when I returned to the hobby as an adult, building turned into a solitary hobby.

I am now ready to share my LEGO® and men’s wear stores third update. While I still need to design a sign for the men’s wear store, the shop is essentially complete now. The third level of the custom build is the roof top for that store. I stayed more-or-less true to the Townhouse Toy Store set it was based

Not long ago, I posted the first look at my custom LEGO® Store upgrade and new men’s formal wear store. Since then, I have continued chugging along with the design. The next level of each building is now available to share. So, without further ado, here is the second update for my LEGO® and men’s formal wear stores. The second

Not too long ago, I posted about Willa’s Witching World, my sorcery store MOC. I mentioned that the store sits on the bottom level of my city. The shop nestles into a corner between a road and a train tunnel. My plan was to build an entire city block above it. Well, I have started the upward process. In truth,

It has been almost two months since my last MOC update. However, I have a good reason. My basement (and therefore LEGO® room) was in shambles. The original owners of my house did not install the sump pit properly. In fact, they did not really install a sump pit at all. It was just a bucket in the floor. So,
