    powerpig posted a photo: My first new ornament for 2018 is an order of fries! Unusual, yes, but not completely random: it's designed to complement the equally ridiculous burger ornament I created two years ago. :sweat_smile: Building guide now available at chrismcveigh.com

    powerpig posted a photo: Mrs. Claus originally had a much more youthful, elven face. It was the wrong look for her, of course, so I gave her a different nose and distinguishing glasses. But the basics of her original design live on in this Platecraft Elf. :) The building guide is available at chrismcveigh.com

    powerpig posted a photo: Here’s another Star Wars vehicle sculpture I created for LEGO in 2015. It's titled Falcon Over Jakku and it swings side to side when you twist the gear at the back. I had a prototype with a TIE, too; the two modules could be connected and they'd crisscross when the gear was turned. UPDATE: Guide now available at chrismcveigh.com

    powerpig posted a photo: About four years ago I build a bright red fridge with retro styling. Always meant to go back and build a matching range, and I finally got the chance to do so. And I decided to rebuild the fridge from the ground up, too! Building guides are now available at chrismcveigh.com

    powerpig posted a photo: The LX Edition is one of my most detailed computer builds to date. It has a fully modelled CRT as well hard drive, floppy drive, and power unit subassemblies. However, the real star of this build is the removable card cage that houses the motherboard and memory boards!

I've been wanted to do a coniferous tree with traditional limb elements for a very long time, but as many of you know, it's a challenge to create a classic tree shape with those parts at a relatively small size. However, new elements 26047 and 32828 opened a few doors.

Anyhoo, guides for regular green, olive green, and white variants of this build are now available at chrismcveigh.com!
