Lego Marvel Super Heros: Spider-man Homecoming's Vulture (Modification)

The latest Spider-man movie was here last week. After the darkest period of time (Two Amazing Spider-Man movies), Spider-Man movie was back on track again. With Marvel's magic, one of the ugliest Spidy villains: Vulture, who was an hairless old man in green suit and wings, became very cool on screen. He used the alien parts stolen from the Avengers 1 battlefield in NYC to build his wings. Lego's original design wasn't bad but just not cool enough. Lego didn't build the multi-angle rotors inside the ring. So, I just added them to the ring. Because of lacking knives and swords parts, I couldn't change the wing tips into what I wanted. Let's see if I can get some in the future.

Updated a bit...

LEGO Iron Man Armor's Weapon Addition (MOC)

I think Lego Iron Man series is something with unlimited fun. Similar to Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark made many many armors and weapons in his lab. It gives Lego hobbyists a lot of inspiration to build their own Iron Man scenes and related creations. I can't stop myself adding things to this Iron Man armor bit by bit. At this stage, I add two weapons to it: rifle and machine gun.



That's how the weird shields work.





Not a great looking machine gun for sure. I will change it later when I get my work done.





Comparing to Detroit Steel, Iron Man armor is more interesting to build.

LEGO Ironman Armor MOC

Using the Ironman Hulkbuster set was the simplest way to get smooth and rounded deep red bricks and golden bricks. Although I still had the feet to finish, I wanted to see if it came out ok in photos. At the same time, I played a bit of the robotic arms shields which was the design of "Gundam: Thunderbolt". Basically, the shields with arms would block projectiles from any angles without occupying any arm. I thought it was a crazy design before I watched Gundam: Thunderbolt.

Now, I think it's an interesting idea.










I tried to put the Hulkbuster's head on it but it didn't look too good.

May The 4th Lego Store Gift: R2-D2 (30611)

R2-D2 (30611) is a $50 purchase gift from Lego Store on May 4th, 2017 at Canada. It has 70pcs, a new brick, and lots of extra good bricks. This set's trick is building the body up-side-down: studs are downward. Interesting.



The poly bag has a small bag for the tiny bricks.



This is a new useful brick. I would buy a lot if Lego Store's Pick-A-Brick wall has it.



It's way easier to build stuff with this brick in the future.



Good extra bricks!



Adding to my R2-D2 collection corner.

Lego Justice League Batmobile Modification

Justice League movie is coming very soon after Wonder Woman's. Out of my expectation, Justice League's batmobile is almost the same as Batman Vs Superman version. The main difference is Justice League version is a bit taller. The front twin machine guns becomes a rocket launcher. Both sides have two long machine guns and a cannon on the top beside the driver side.

Lego's original BvS version doesn't have the front wheel guards (lazy...) and the upcoming JL version won't have it too (From the leaked image). If you google that leaked image, you will see JL version batmobile is in a largest set. It's pretty unbelievably... bad. Although I think Lego people won't spend a second in my blog from a nobody fan, I really want to say Lego is not making nice sets recently. When Lego's competitions are so weak (MegaBlcks and Kre-O), it really has no need to make things nicely especially the cheaper sets.

(Question pops up... There are so many good MOC people out there. Why don't Megablcks and Kre-O hire them? And why designers at Lego's competitions are so bad?)

Old Lego Bat Wing 2006 (7782)

It was a pretty nicely designed Bat Wing from 2006. This was not a real Lego (I think it's Decool but not sure). In the good old days, Lego had no ugly stud shooters like nowadays. The cannon projectile was hidden inside the tail of the Bat Wing. I changed some grey tiles into black (I don't like grey parts in any Batman vehicle).

I wish I will move to a bigger house to show all Lego Batman vehicles in a custom built batcave :-)

Updated Batmobile from Batman Vs Superman

I updated the Batmobile from Batman Vs Superman (BvS). Actually, it was a nice model from Lego except Lego gave up to build the complicated front side of the car. Lego would do a way better job than most of the MOC people, I think. But Lego designers were limited by budget (brick counts) and the deadly "Play feature included" rule.

Looking it from a better side, Lego left you space for modification in each set...
