* "Golf cart"[FEB/4/01]
Since I saw many kind of model of vehicles in toyshop,I wanted to build various cars, especially such small viechles.
I'm afraid that I made a mistake with this work, because I've never driven any viechles,never played golf yet.;-P




* "Microfig scale AT-AT"[FEB/4/01]







prototype1

prototype2
After I posted to LUGNET about my AT-ST creation(see below) ,I recieved a nice suggestion that I'd better to make also "microfig scale AT-AT".Then I tried.
It's very difficult to adjust balance between a head and a body, between a body and legs.




* "Microfig scale AT-ST"[FEB/4/01]
It's very light waight,so it can stand with only its own legs!




* "Octopus Village"[NOV/5/00]
=> see more details...
We held a big LEGO town diorama off in Nagano during Sep. 15-17.
I made a small fishing village there.

It was hard and tired for me to build many structures,but diorama is very interesting and exciting!




* "Tiny mechs"[NOV/5/00]
=> see more details...
These are created for "LEGO-Mechs offline meeting" in Tokyo.(Oct. 29)

I have many chances to see Mr.Fujisawa's great mechs.(I live in the neighborhood of him.)
So I always wanted to make cool mech like a Mr. Fujisawa's.
And I tried many times,but it's difficult for me.("Robo was not built on a day!")

Then I thought what is suitable for me. And I reached a conclusion that small models are suitable for me.




* "An electric locomotive ,type EF65-10XX"[MAY/1/00]

I've got my first LOCO assortment #4561 which imported from U.S by Mr. Orui.
(In Japan,any LOCO set is NOT sold now !!)
And I created japanese popular blue car with parts in the assortment.




* "A streetcar" [MAY/1/00]
This train creation is also for EJLTC offline meeting on Mar 19th.
It was modeled on the streetcar which run in my hometown.
There is no 9V train parts (motor,wheel,coupler) in it,so it doesn't run by itself
or connect any other train cars. (only for display)



* "An old coach" [MAY/1/00]
This train creation is for EJLTC offline meeting on Mar 19th.
I made it to be suited to black steam locomotives created by Mr.Ogura.
But it looks unsuitable because it's too high.


* "Town structures" [MAR/27/00]
=> see more details...
These many creations were built for EJLTC ( East Japan Lego Train Club ) offline meeting on Mar 19th.


* "Nash's car" [FEB/27/00]
"Nash Bridges" is one of my favorite TV-dramas.
Here is "1971 Plymouth Barracuda convertible" which Nash (Don Johnson) drives.

I think I didn't build well in shapes (sloped or rounded surface) at such size.
It's just like a yellow box with wheels!!

Minifigs beside the car are Nash and Joe.


* "Christmas pitfall" [DEC/19/99]
This works was made for participating in "YLS LEGO builder contest" held at Miss Morihiro's web page.
A theme of the contest was "Christmas",so I associated "Christmas" , "Santa Claus" , "chimney" , "pitfall" !
Pulling a knob on the side of a chimney,Santa Claus falls on the fireplace. ( Oh my goodness !! )



* "Electoric Beefheart,the tank" [DEC/19/99]
After dressing up (see a topic below) ,I could buy #845 motor unit for a bargain price at TOYS'R'US.
And I decided to motorize my tank "Beefheart".
There is no space to attach 2 motor units in the tank,so it can be moved only forward or backward.
Although that,it's very interesting that my own creations are moving by something!!
The LEGO-technic(R) or Mindstorms(R) are not easy to start,but such motorization is very easy for a child.
I recommend you building "moving creations". More fun!! I want to try to find a way of turning left and right some day.



* Dressing up "Beefheart,the tank" [OCT/24/99]
Thanks to Mr. Hattori,I could get black 2x1 "L"-shaped wall parts from BAYLIT ( Part selling site ) .
And I replaced teeth of caterpillar with them. ( That's what I want to do in my first plan. )




* STAR WARS "AT-ST" [OCT/11/99]
Last year (1999) ,we could have many chances to see STARWARS with LEGO ;
official products ,Mr Fujita(maestro)'s creations, and other builders' in the world.
So I also became to want to build STARWARS model,and I chose the AT-ST because I saw very cool AT-ST model built by LEGO-Japan-company at "1999 LEGO exhibition ( LEGO MANIAX ) " in Tokyo.

Firstly,I watched several STARWARS books and Episode-VI video many many MANY times to build a real model.
Secondly,I built it according as data above carefully.
At that time, a problem came up. A head of AT-ST was too heavy to support by its legs!!
But I couldn't find good way to stand by itself keeping real shape without glue or any supporting rod.
(Maybe,the models at the exhibition had used some GLUE in order to stand or not to be broken.)
At last,it become weak-kneed AT-ST ( chicken walker !? ) .



* battle tank "Beefheart ,the tank" [SEP/28/99]
I planned to make a battle tank with old style caterpillar (in #912) and cannon parts (in Pirates or Western set).
This tank is running by 3 crews ( driver ,cannon operator, commander ) .
It has openable drivers hatch ,engine room hatch and a rotatable turret.

I'm not satisfied 2x1 brick as teeth of caterpillar.
I ordered some parts to BAYLIT instead of current one.
( continue to dressing up "Beefheart,the tank" )


* a LEGO mascot "L-E-B-O" [SEP/15/99]
It's my entry for " LEGO just imagine contest at KIDDY LAND ( a famous toy shop in Tokyo ) " .
A subject of this contest was "The mascot character of KIDDY LAND LEGO floor".
I made a big 2x2 brick with face. And added "opening and closing gimmick" (Party room diorama appears) .

I seem that it's interesting to build a lot of same one but different color,different interior.


* a fighting spacecraft "Flying locust rev." [JUL/25/99]
This model was taken to "The 3rd Tokyo LEGO FREAKS offline meeting" on 25th Jul 25,1999.
At first I built it normally as STUD direction (STUD faces up.).
But I couldn't feel good ,and wanted to make a surface more MECHANICAL.
Finally, I daringly turned it upside down! I guessed that it's unexpectedly good for me.
What do you think ?


* a dirty racing car "Amigo fire" [JUL/25/99]
This is a racing car built to win by foul play,like a car of Dastardly in Wacky Races.
It has a special gimmick "Growing nose" to go across a goal-line,
and equipped with chainsaw and harpoon in order to obstruct other cars.

the left person is a driver of "Amigo-fire" , Baron Gonzales.
