“The Carthay Circle,” in miniature glory. Built to commemorate the 20th anniversary of #DCA today (even if it technically wasn’t an opening day landmark.)

A quarantine project I finished a couple weeks ago...
Ever since building and sharing my miniature diorama of the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge layout based on the early Imagineering concept art in 2016 (long before the official name had been announced and many referred to the developing expansions at the time as “Star Wars Land,”) I had convinced myself that I was going to build larger, minifigure-scale sections of Batuu once the land was open and the details of Black Spire Outpost could be experienced up close and personal.
After pouring through as many reference photos, videos, and concept art as I could get my hands on, I now present a minifg-scale display of the entrance/facade to the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction, home of Ohnaka Transport Solutions.
With the iconic Millennium Falcon docked out front of the curved hangar bay, beneath the rocky spires of an alien world, this section of Galaxy’s Edge is perhaps what we all think of when we think of a perfect amalgamation of the visual aesthetics of not only the Galaxy’s Edge experience, but Star Wars in general. I worked diligently to capture all the details I could pack in at this scale, attempting to blend the natural landscape of the Batuu spires with the weathered and lived-in hangar building. Using the 75257 version of the Falcon (with some minor exterior modifications and added greebles), the rest was built up and around to create a bustling corner of Black Spire Outpost for Hondo Ohnaka to conduct his smuggling operations, while avoiding the suspicion of the First Order patrols.
Thanks to @scotttrow and the teams at @waltdisneyimagineering@starwars@lucasfilm for the inspiration! #lego #starwars #galaxysedge #legostarwars

My entry for @eticket_builders A Builder’s Life for Me! Challenge 🏴☠️
I built this scene from the original Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in the style of the Classic Pirates LEGO sets from 1989-1997, limiting myself to elements and colors available during that era. Yes, there are a few cheats here and there, but I’m thrilled by the overall result. The Classic Pirates aesthetics are so colorful and satisfying, and I enjoyed dissecting the style and building techniques of those vintage sets while recreating this section of Puerto Dorado.

Don’t be chicken and follow along on the @eticket_builders page for the rest of the scenes in this POTC collab series by a group of awesome builders, posting now through the end of the month! So many cool styles represented.

ROCKET RODS
My entry for @eticket_builders Remember When? Challenge.
I was too young to ever ride these, and while the PeopleMover is of course iconic and my preferred Tomorrowland transportation attraction, you can’t deny the design of these cars was pretty rad.

My entry for @eticket_builders Very Merry Christmas Challenge.
Marching straight out of the 1961 Babes in Toyland and down Main Street, the Toy Soldiers are quintessential to the holiday season at Disneyland. Presenting one of the trumpeters reimagined in Minilander form.

kinda missed the proper Fall season window to be building this, but oh well.… a little LEGO tribute to Over the Garden Wall. only discovered this miniseries in the last few years but it’s now a required yearly rewatch. the music, the colors… it’s got all the nostalgic autumnal vibes you could need.
