Truly not "Business as Usual".
Many Users here are builders and we would really like the distraction of seeing what you are putting together right now!
We are going to post our pics of Farnsworth House (21009) in a Fabulous re-envisioned way, for a solar-powered Southwest Retreat Home, a nod to our comfortable home now and previous here in Tucson (Count your Blessings every night when laying your head to a pillow), later on this thread- thanks to those sellers who have enabled buys! We just got back from San Antonio where we saw firsthand the economic disaster unfolding that this is having on the Marginal. Search Steven Hilton at Fox- we talked to the people he is talking about. We walked the Riverwalk- it was ours exclusively, saw the LEGO stores lights on and buckets for cleaning the Pick A Brick Wall, and talked to restaurant owners who have recently laid off 40+ employees, saw the devastating affect to those who were reliant on tips or on the job that is dependent on commercial traffic for cleaning, serving...Our prayers have been adjusted to those folk and their families who are now hardest hit by economic shut-down.

What are you building, compiling these days?
Was this like a question to everyone to show, what they are building at the moment? Or did I misunderstand something?
Thing is, that I have been working on a City scale project for almost half a year now, but I am still "developing" it...
With best regards,
@GalaxyGirl knew you had to be up to something creative for your minifigs- hope the two level, two horse come out as you plan.
Ours is not a MOC- Very thankful to the creator of those saguaros - just what we needed to "plant" 21009- Farnsworth House in the desert and then add a couple of features- maybe need to add a a wall of water on the covered patio...
@P6tu Truck?- Yes, please!...second icon past your image here is a "browse" link for a pic from your device
Thanks @Calibrick and @GalaxyGirl -again, not a MOC like we usually do but truly had to bring this "Happy Place" together this week. Now, no more procrastinating- on to the Venice shorefront restaurant MOC...

I'll will make better pictures and a description, when I get it finished.
When speaking of it, then how do you get yourself a building instructions? When I get the thing finished, then I'd like to share it in Rebrickable... I do use the LDD program, but it has loads of stuff missing so the instructions from that program are not adequate...
Fun building!
Yeah, work with image size options- we pick medium pixal sizes- when sending to your device to then be able to load here- and choose a MOC builder to follow on Rebrickable- same problem it seems that many have and so their own pdf instruction sets downloaded because of the limitations of LDD.
@PhilFT Fun fun for working with parts on hand!
Aaah, I already started thinking that were the Pictures really that bad, and also started to think, how to make it more playable and usable. There are things that bother me... My 7y old son likes that set the most. It has a lot of action features and if I allow him to play with it, then I concider it my timeoff and thanks to this build, he is eager to make his own truck desing too :P.
So about the features:
- glow in dark lights on all vehicles (including trailer, but missing at the moment, should be at the rear sidelights and at the front sidelights)
- trailer and truck are fully equipped with lights (front lights, highbeams, turnsignals at the back (in front of the truck), reverse lights, and license plate at the back of the trailer and truck)
Truck:
- Winch
- full set of tools at the back
- independent "suspensioon" at the rear (still polishing the system)
- easy accsess to the drivers compartment
- handrest with cupholder
- fire extenguisher
ATV:
- metallic chain for pulling stuff
- rear light (still thinking of how to make it more textured without obstructing the chain accessability)
Helicopter (actually from a Lego original set 7686 with just some modifications and upgrades):
Trailer (front to back):
- equipped with sidelights from front to back and at the top corners of the cabin
- Locker for a set of tools
- resting and study cabin with two custom plants, PC, cocoa machine, clip holders for camera and etc, bed for 1, drawers with letters, boombox, table with a lamp and PC, extenguisher, ceiling lamps (all easy to Access by opening the roof)
- latter to access the cabing with two fullzise doors
- a dingy with a very simple build
- stands with metallic chains to fix in either deployed or extended positions
- floodlight at the bottom for the stands (not visible tho)
- crane for lifting the dinghy and ATV from the trailer
- a drill for digging (after all, it is an exploration truck
- clips for heavy tools
- lowbed location for ATV (want to redesign it to hold a Lego default shipping containers)
- crane for lifting bigger stuff like shipping containers (4 x chain part is missing, I'm still working on minimizing it to be more in scale)
- a cupboard with drawers for extra tools
- a cupboard with door for ATV helmet
- third fire extinguisher
- controller pad for cranes on one side and a pressure gauge on the other side (I know, not logical, but I'm still thinking on how to place them to be on the same side)
- two clips for cleaning equipment
- bed for helicopter with landing lights
- helicopter blade fixing chain holder location
- fully independent suspension (also still working on it to make it less wobbly)
I am concidering to redesign the helicopter cocpit to be more of a custom build and to be fully closed, but I need to keep in mind the available space. I do not want to extend the trailer, because it would make it too long - it is quite long already as it is. I also want to add a front licensplate, but I'm still figuring on how to make it visible and reasonable (behind the bullbar there is a location, but it would be "hidden").
@Calibrick
Thank you
Totally stoked they reprinted Yoda - I was going to part him out a few years back but with all the sand green colors, the price to do so was more than I was willing to invest. :-)
What are you all assembling right now?
