My Trailblazer is now available on Barweer

Image
I know, I know, some of you are really protective of the official Lego brand and don't like Compatible brands. I also know that some of these brands have been unfair to some MoC-creators (me included) and started selling our designs without our consent. On my end, I am lucky enough to be able to afford official Lego only, but I know that not everyone can. So when  Barweer approached me to release my Trailblazer, I was happy to work with them and provided them with the latest version.  There are other sellers of my Trailblazer online, but they are older versions and sold without my consent. So please to make sure you have the latest version:  use this link  

My current big project : Luthen's Fondor Haulcraft from the Andor series

Image
Hello there, As you may have seen on Instagram, my current project is Luthen's Fondor Haulcraft from the Andor Disney series. This is a passion project, there is no structure, plan or logic to the build right now, I'm not even sure I'll have the time and energy to make it a finished product. I just hyper-focus some details I find interesting, work on them and then see how they fit with the rest. But I am having fun with it, and that is what really matters. For me, designing MoCs is a way to escape from the good practices of planification I follow in my daily job. ;) Am I the first to work on this ship? NO! Am I the first to work on this ship at minifig-scale? NO! But if you are familiar with my work, you know that minifigscale has a special meaning to me. My Razorcrest, my Trailblazer, my Uwing, and all my smaller builds share one thing: I build a detailed interior first, and then I build the rest around it. Externally my builds can look a bit bigger and chunkier than what...

Papaglop on Beyond-the-brick again!

In October I attended the "Sommet de la brique" Lego exhibition near Montreal. The Hanlon brothers from  Beyond the brick were here to cover the event and  I gave them a tour of the MoCs I was presenting. You can watch the full video  here .  

Update about my Minifigscale Trailblazer

Image
Hello there, I am excited to unveil the Trailblazer V2, a major update for my minifigure-scale version of the iconic starship from Star Wars Outlaws. When I launched the Trailblazer, last year I knew I had something special, but with your feedback and many more hours playing this fantastic game, I felt it could be even better. To this day, there is no other version of that size and with that level of detail but I wanted to push it further. What's New with Trailblazer V2? Landing Gear: I received a lot of feedback asking for this. It took time to design something that is accurate and that can also withstand the weight of the ship (almost 6kg) Redesigned Forward and Aft Hoods: To make them more detailed and easier to open Exterior Detailing: A wealth of new elements on the hull that I gathered while playing Interior Detailing: Including a better engine and a ceiling that I designed last winter while working on this 3d video. Many little fixes and improvements: To ensure robustness an...

A 3D/VR/4K virtual tour of the interior of my Minifigscale Trailblazer

Image
When I released the first images of my Trailblazer in the summer of 2024, I was contacted by Digital artist Roly from the Netherlands who wanted to make a virtual tour of the ship. We worked together for weeks on adjusting the Lego model to allow more details and better lights. Here is the result after hundreds of hours of work and thousands of hours of rendering. Make sure you turn the 4K on and enjoy !  

Orders for my Minifig-scale UCS-style Trailblazer are open ! - And what I think of StarWars Outlaws

Image
While playing Skyrim (a lot) in 2011/2012, I was often thinking "a game like that in the Star Wars universe would be so awesome" Fast forward to 2024, and we have SW Outlaws. I played over 100hours of it since August, so needless to say, I love it. I'm lucky enough to have a PC that runs it smoothly. (100fps on a ultra wide screen) It is beautiful . Sometimes it's not the side quests who keep me away from the main story, it's just looking at the jaw dropping landscapes. I did experience a couple couple of bugs, but nothing too serious. I'm lucky enough to be the kind of Star Wars fan who has seen all the shows, movies, animated series and has read novels like Aftermath, so I enjoyed the appearance of Temmin and Qira and many smaller details and easter eggs. I'm lucky enough to not think every woman should be a bimbo. And find Kay to be a great protagonist. I'm lucky enough to understand Ubisoft decision to not accept the 30% shakedown from Steam and re...
