Eddie Rickenbacker's Spad S.XIII by Daniel Siskind

This awesome world war I fighter planet model, namely Eddie Rickenbacker's Spad S.XIII was recently shared by flickr.com user Daniel Siskind, who is also the owner of Brickmania (where tons of different custom creation including this one are for sale). The shaping and coloring of the vehicle is awesome and historically accurate for a minifigure-scale LEGO creation. The decals/stickers are also very nice. The builder also shared a beautiful air-battle action photo scene in his photo-stream where this plane attacks a German Fokker Dr.1 from behind and bricks fall of the damaged plane.

Special Interview with Bob De Quatre


Today's  guest of honor is Bob De Quatre from France who is known for his great Sci-fi MOC's with incredible shapes. He is also a Sci-fi section moderator in popular LEGO fan community forum Eurobricks.com. Photos from the work of our guest will be presented between the questions.

Kaplan: In our opinion, you are one of the best LEGO Sci-fi MOC'ers in the world. What can you tell us about yourself other than that. What is your real name? What is your dayjob? Do you have any other hobbies or activities?

Bob: I'm a software engineer, living in south of France (a few kilometers away from Vince_toulouse). I'm part of the Eurobricks staff as Sci-Fi Moderator. I enjoy watching movies and reading books, mostly Science-fiction.


K: Do you remember the day when you got your first LEGO set? Which set was it? And How old were you when you started playing with LEGO bricks?

B: I don't remember it precisely... I think it was a castle set, back in the early 80's. My older sister got some Duplo and Fabuland sets, so I guess it all started with these.

Special Interview with Marco den Besten a.k.a. 'Ecclesiastes


This week we have one of the best historical MOC builders as our Guest. Marco den Besten from the Netherlands who is known for his huge historical/fantasy cities and castle MOC's was kind to answer our questions. Photos from the work of our guest will be presented between the questions.

Kaplan: We already know that you are one of the best MOC'ers in the world. What can you tell us about yourself other than that? What is your day job? Do you have any other hobbies or activities?

Marco: I work in retail for a living. Yes, one of those jobs were you have to cope with wining customers all day. It’s a good thing I’ve got LEGO to relax. Other than, of course, building, I like fishing, plenty of water here in the Netherlands. And I like hiking, which I prefer doing in mountainous areas. But that’s something we don’t have here, unfortunately.


K: Do you remember your first day when you get your first LEGO set?

M: I think I got my first sets when I was around three, so I don't recall my very first one. However, I do remember the first large set I got. It was the 6271, Imperial Flagship. Which I was, of course, very happy with, and it is one of the best Lego ships ever made. So were all the ships that were made during those years.

Non-Mediterranean Riviera that we couldn't believed


Every Saturday, I tried to blog new MOCs but nothing to find and check on my archieves to share inspirational creations. I think everyone builds on saturdays to share new MOCs on sunday. But today is not a regular day. LEGO Builder Andrew Tate has recently created a inspiring MOC, I want to live in it now. He told that he created a European Riviera but not from the Mediterranean side. It includes many Mediterranean architecture objects like tower with dome and brick-build walls. I wonder what is the name of this beautiful marina.
