This is another repost, from the days when I was thinking about making a business out of LEGO Sculpture, like Eric Harshbarger. I later decided that would take too much fun out of it.
This is my first non-Pokémon sculpture. I have decided to switch to more original designs to avoid possible copyright/trademark infringement, and to make it possible to sell copies of my sculpture. If you are interested in buying a copy of the Teddy Bear (in your choice of colors) or commissioning an original work, please send me e-mail.
I brought this model to the BricksWest 2002 international LEGO conference at LEGOLAND in Carlsbad, CA in February 2002.

This hybrid rocket/jet aircraft takes off and lands like a plane, and the engines switch to rocket mode to reach orbit, where it docks with a space station or the Lunar Tour Vehicle for their next destination.
This uses the Docking System I devised for spacecraft.

Part bus, part spacecraft, this vessell meets up with the Passenger Transport in Earth orbit and ferries them to the moon, where they can spend a week visiting the Apollo landing zones and other historical and natural wonders.
Its rockets pivot aft for flight, and downward for takeoff and landing. Inside are all the luxuries a traveler could want, plus facilities for the crew. A generous galley and head are included.

Another repost…
This truck is for carrying sand, gravel, LEGO bricks, or similar material. A door in the bottom opens to allow dumping. I later rebuilt the trailer to produce a second version of this model.

This little café showed off some rare printed bricks and was good at filling small spaces on the BayLTC layouts.
This simple café kiosk has an espresso machine and cash register, and two tables to enjoy your coffee at.

Another post from my old site. This was one of the first BayLUG meetings I ever attended.
The BayLUG meeting in January, 2002, featured a contest for models of 100 pieces or less.

Another repost from bill.wards.net. This playground was a regular feature in the BayLTC train shows for years.
This playground is complete with all the equipment needed to keep your kids entertained for hours.

This building was one of my first contributions to the BayLTC train layout, and the first one that I posted pictures of online.
This bus station has a waiting room and two lanes for buses to stop. There is also a traffic signal and cellular telephone relay tower included.

On my old site, these were four separate entries, but in reposting them I have combined them into one.
In August 2001, Paul Hartzog announced he was sponsoring a “HoverThing” contest. The Contest announcement and rules were posted on LUGNET and many people submitted entries, including myself. I didn’t win, but here are the models I built for the contest. The official contest website shows all the entries, including the winning one.
Pocket Rocket
Shown in both blue and black versions.
Hover Patrol
A simple police cruiser
Astro-Pumpkin
A very silly entry for the contest. The main point was to employ an unusual color scheme and to find a use for the angled part in the nose.
