Just what I’ve been looking for, a Durandcell battery. Those have enough juice to take me to the moon and back. Don’t let my ambitions overshadow you though, I’m sure you’ll find something in that drawer to keep you going. Maybe you can use your two cents to pay someone for a good thought.
Fun scientist! I know you asked for some pliers, but I can’t seem to find them. We really need to get them sorted here. Regardless, my current build is finished, so it’s time to go back to the drawer-ing board and figure out some more uses! I can’t believe we’re about at the halfway point… the sand’s about to run out!
This seed part is really sparking some some mad builds. Better hang onto your cigar, because I’m about to blow things up in here!
Sick entry, Geneva! Not sure how you’ll top that… although I guess you also did top it? A paradox for sure 🤔.
That being said, it’s hard to catch up when you’re already ahead. Speaking of heads, I’ve got my next entry! It was a hell of a grind, and I really had to bust my butt to get him accurate. At this rate, Hellboy may deserve a spot on the Bingo card…
While you’re out there grilling, I’m already having lunch. Try to catch up.
The only thing cuter than those ponytails is your little snake!! Pretty sure I saw him in my garden yesterday when I was out grilling. I’d offer you the leftover sausage but I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor’s cat got them before I could. But I digress. I can’t tail who will win, but I pawlieve it will be close. Don’t take that as an excuse to get lazy- I’m a propane-ant of putting out only the best!
Cute ponytails! How about a tail that’s a bit bigger and badder? Like the tale of this dragon, who they say eats Iron Forgers for breakfast. Better not drag your feet around this guy, or you’ll be a gonner.
Knock knock, Geneva – the round has officially begun! I’m coming in with a small but mighty swing. Don’t get too comfortable, I’ve Harley scratched the surface of my capabilities; interiors, characters, replicase, I gotham all! Can’t wait to see what you come up with- I expect only the quinntessential SPU from you!
This round’s seed part is the Cauldron in red.
Now our two contestants have 14 days to come up with amazing and inspiring creations featuring this seed part. Wish them luck!
Who are you rooting for? Who will take it home? Whose builds reign supreme?
Only one way to find out! ALLEZ BRICK!
Two new challengers for an empty throne – this will be fun!
Who will win? Our five time Iron Forge competitor Eann McCurdy or our Queen of Castle Geneva Durand?
I think it’s time for you to start taking some notes, Matt
Impeccable style you say? I think you might need a hand with that
You would shoot someone with such impeccable style?
Indeed. With my ray gun set to incinerate, I’ll strike you back to before your very existence!
Strike Back, you say?
Whatever comes, I’ll always be ready to strike back
Chill out man, all I wanted to do was listen to a few beats!
Yeah, I had the speaker idea too, just on a different scale.
Scared? No… I’m FURIOUS.
WITNESS ME!
Are you scared yet?
That’s probably because I’ve used all of it while I’ve been chugging along
Hmm… maybe I am a little out of gas…
What’s wrong Matt? Are you starting to feel the heat?
Woah, it looks to me like that robot could use some serious fixing up.
Maybe you should watch out, because you’re in…
DANGER.
I think that you had better watch out!!
I think that you had better get out of the way!
I think that you had better prepare to get served 😉
Well, that’s a lot of mocs so far… I gotta send in a guy to clean up:
I think you’re worried you’re going to have to face the music…
I think I’m going to let this creation rip you to shreds!
And yes, they actually work:
I’m not worried about escaping you, I’d rather just call on the good ol’ doctor 🙂
Oh, there is nowhere in space and time you can go to escape me…
Better watch out, Matt before I speed away.
Your insults don’t affect me – I’m already worlds away!
This is what I think of your Red Lotus!
Note: I have no idea what a red lotus is, so here is my best approximation. 😉
And now with SEKRIT PART USAGE:
Power you say? You should know that the Red Lotus aren’t really fond of those in power…
Can you feel the POWER?
When I’m through with you all that’ll be left is scrap.
This should be a fun month!
Are you ready to pump some iron Matt? because I know that I am!
We have the rebel Tim in sight! Commencing fire!
Hello, all! After a year’s respite I’m back again and looking forward to another great round. I certainly have my work cut out for me this time!
This round’s seed part is the barbell weight in metallic silver.
Wish them luck! Who are you rooting for? Who will take it home? Whose builds reign supreme?
Only one way to find out! ALLEZ BRICK!
Who will take home the crown?
Our defending Iron Builder Champion Matt De Lanoy or our challenger Tim Schalfenberg?
Looking back at the fifth round of Iron Builder Season 4 – from July 2015.
Originally hosted in the Iron Builder Group on flickr.
This is my last build. It’s been fun. But I want my room back now.
So…I had one last idea. I’m done for real now, serious this time.
Guys, here’s my last build for this round. It’s been a blast; I can’t wait to shut the forklift pieces up in a drawer and never look at them again. 🙂 This build’s small and simple. Yes, contrary to popular belief, there is Lego in this picture.
Make sure your machine is well maintained, you wouldn’t want something to blow.
I can’t begin to tell you how much of a mess my room is, especially after this one.
Video:
Getting close to the end, better start cleaning up the mess…
Have you met my pet?
And it’s a two for one sale! Watch you don’t step on the help.
Why punish people for the sake of it when you can get paid?
The danger will never pass.
The danger’s passed. I can worry about fashion now.
I can’t be worried with fashion right now; I’ve got people beating the door in over here.
Do you think your bots can fix eyesight?
Big bots, little bots, teeny tiny nanobots.
Are you still there? Searching…target acquired. Preparing to dispense product.
You’re breaking my heart, Mike, but not my sense of humor. There’s nothing better to lift the spirit than to beat a good joke clear into the ground.
Till death do us part, Chris. I didn’t think you’d take that literally…
Continuing with weaponry, and some Halloween gore thrown in for good measure.
Hey, speaking of swords, I found this one stuck in a rock. Reminds me of an old story…
Thank you for entertaining the guests while I was away.
We need some more music. Something classy and moody.
Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
I can see everything from up here…except how to get down…
Every time I try to have a picnic, that guy and his critters just have to show up…
::Listening to police scanner::
Antman: “…all part of the plan.”
“Available units near the park on Vine, please respond.”
“Central, this is 12, go ahead.”
“That woman is back.”
“The one that keeps kicking the kids out of their sandbox and setting up the volleyball net?”
“That’s affirm.”
“We’re en route. Over and out.”
Well, if you really wanna play games…
Ping pong balls? That can mean only one thing…let’s get wasted!
I must build awesome shit to defend my little ones.
Video:
I did some writing today.
Better watch the little ones…wouldn’t want something packing them off.
That won’t contain this mess, hombre…
That is some wild witchy hair, amigo…I have a friend that can clean that up for her.
Here’s a little Halloween themed MOC for you guys.
What’s time, without a little….SPACE!
A clock, Chris. A boring old clock.
Hey Mike…whatcha building there, neighbor?
Looks like we’ll spend plenty of this round working in black…
…and sometimes very dark grey.
Cue the ominous music to start the round.
And you better believe I’m building a forklift this month. 🙂
This round’s seed part is the forklift fork in black.
In the words of Guy Himber: “It is with great excitement that we bring you the Battle of the Forklift Fork. Two seasoned veterans battling in the IB Coliseum and ready to Fork the Forking Forklift Fork!“
Allez Brick!
Two new challengers for an empty throne – this will be fun!
Who will win? Returning Iron Builder competitor Chris Maddison or our Constraction wizard Mike Nieves?
Looking back at the 6th round of Iron Builder Season 4 – from October 2015.
Originally hosted in the Iron Builder Group on flickr.
This round’s seed part is the baseball bat in metallic silver.

Our defending Iron Builder Champion Jonah Schultz or our challenger Maxx Davidson?
I don’t want the competition to drag on, so let’s get some entries going! Expectations are sky high for this round, I hope my first creature won’t turn you green with envy! I know it’s in theme, but we can’t build as slow as turtles, so let’s get going!
This round’s seed part is the Koopa Shell in green.
Now our two contestants have 15 days to come up with amazing and inspiring creations featuring this seed part. Wish them luck! They’ll better get cracking!

Our defending Iron Builder Champion Gerrit Gottschalk or our challenger Sandro Quattrini?
It is now in the hands of our judges to decide who has won this round!
Good luck to both our builders!
Sounds familiar? I pulled the switches for the final track. Me winning this with a groovy remix is not an IF scenario! Kermit’s back and he’s not alone, because, you know, the real Iron Builder is the friends we made along the way <3.
My builds were hidden gems a year ago, now they’re simply brilliant. You’re going back to the frogs, but let’s remember how this round actually kicked off: I shot first!
I might be tired, but I haven’t croaked yet! I still had room for a final build, and it holds the key to my success! The frogs left the bridge and what an adventure they had! Thanks for following along!
That’s too kind. Such a nice meal surely helps when you’re low on HP, so I don’t have any need. I just hope you’ve not become tired yet.
I’d love to roast you but I’ll give you a break. I’m thankful for a warm holiday meal shared with friends. So enjoy this turkey, I’m sure you’ll eat it right up!
Shoetime: It’s over, Eli. I have the high ground! You have to admit, my shit’s absolute killer!
Not to be nosey but what are you up to? I’ve gone ahead and booked your facility for a concert, hopefully my music isn’t too alien! Ope, I hear my name, it’s time to take the stage!
Phew, Iron Building takes a certain kind of drive ! I highly recommend tree-ting yourself to a walk outside, mine was very illuminating today. Maybe have some ice-cream for extra fuel. 🙂
Reached for the stars yesterday. Today, I’m mining them! Brought some bottles and glasses, as I will only toast my victory!
I’ll keep my head out of the clouds for now, I need a little more space! Hope this build doesn’t put you in a jam I’ve heard it said if you don’t reach for the stars you’ll be toast!
If I’d ever fall as snow on someone’s MOC, it’d surely be yours <3 . But, unfortunately, your weathered puns can’t reach me here. I have the clout, still traveling these lands on top!
Tis the season to give gifts! I am Kermit-ed to defeating you, with a wreath! Much like the snow, you’ll soon be falling!
You sure need a microscope to find the seed parts in there! Mmmh, I smell yet another frog. You dare to challenge the ORCtober Champion? I’ll finish you off, one stab at a time. My shoulders are strong enough to carry this game on my own!
If your cactus gets knocked over by a rush of air, that’s just me zooming past! For science let’s take a closer look at this seedpart. Don’t stare too long, your chances might become microscopic!
Video:
Shooting water at me just makes me stronger! As you can see, the use of many watering cans will grow you a truly impressive cactus. Scared, Potter?
Surprise attack! I’m having a blast! Not to burst your bubble, but I thought I’d pop back in here for a bit more fun 🙂
That is nice! But let’s get to the point, time to serve up some just deserts! There will be no Cact-us at the end of this, only Cact-i!
Cute! Whatever these frogs are staring at, it must be a true eye-catcher! I might seem cocky, but I’m just seeking attention…
What a toadally tasty treat! I hope you aren’t unhoppy, but one is much safer at my pad! This is just the start, I’m bridging my way to success!
Look, you’re confronted with pillars again! You shouldn’t skip Leg Day, as it’s still a long way to go. Think I could stay more down to earth But-I-fly!
This round’s seed part is the Watering Can in lime green.
Now our two contestants have 15 days to come up with amazing and inspiring creations featuring this seed part. Wish them luck! They’ll better get cracking!

Who will take home the crown?
Our defending Iron Builder Champion Eli Willsea or our Iron Forge challenger Gerrit Gottschalk?
It is now in the hands of our judges to decide who has won this round!
Good luck to both our builders!
Hey Duncan, I did this one just to scratch it out! I would miss IB a lot, so one final look, deep breath, but no fire. It was a tremendous pleasure to cross blades with you! Thank you!
I needed that ‘roof to see if you were naughty or nice! Now you’re gettin’ all the toys, even before that hand lands on 21. I mean 12…And you should be grateful it’s not smoking, I’d never go in otherwise.
The end (of the round) will be here before we know it. So many ideas, so little time… Are you Gallifrey-d of judgement?
Boy, those horns look hella sharp… Wouldn’t it be more convenient if you filed them down? Excuse me though, this is a no-smoking area!
Your space age marvels may seem fancy, but they’re gnome-atch to a quiet, humble life… While you were making deals with the devil, I decided to drop some pastries off at a friend’s. I would have stayed longer but there wasn’t mushroom to build at his place!
Hey man, what are your plants? Building something big like a rocket or something? Those previous builds must’ve been only a camouflag.
I know that We Don’t Need Another Hero, but this one is a real head Turner, cat you see?
Wait! I found one of my hands, unfortunately not the one with the treasures. I do have hermit to use it, I’m an Iron…maaan, you know what – I’m enjoying this round too much!
You have to wander no more, it’s just a Tile 2 x 2 with Groove with Map Blue Water, Yellow Land, Black Ship, Compass Rose, White Skeleton Head and Red ‘X’ Pattern, available in 26 sets. This is what I found with a quick search dough-nut enough time on my hands right now.
I decided to take a little vacation to the beach after all! Glad I did, because this little crustacean led me to a message in a bottle. Don’t be crabby though, if it’s a map to buried treasure I promise not to be shellfish!
Arcade you not, I’d be a Chamillionaire if I got a bug for every time someone tilted their head at me.
I *lick * that car, but I’m gonna stick with this till the very end. I’ve branched out a bit from my usual genres, fortunately I can focus on a couple things at once! https://flic.kr/p/2pac5k4
Quite the contrary, this is a piece of art! And as an artist I’m no one-hit wonder, I hit multiple times. Come the Weeknd, you’ll be blinded by the lights…tail lights that is.
Killer clowns? Ugh, keep ’em far, far away from me… Like, maybe in another galaxy!
Word to the wise, there’s something scarier in that sewer! Not your float though, you have to give IT the right stab.
Cowabunga! A beach party sounds pretty radical. Maybe we’ll even see some turtles!
Hey man, after this week IB chillin’ on the beach, everything is packed already. Chair up, you will finally have that time to sort!
I don’t have a Clu actually, you can try Quorra. If I had to do it now though, I would’ve done it differently. And yes, I do wanna race!
So, you wanna race? Quick question, though: How’d you get your shrink ray to go all the way to nano? I can only seem to get mine to go down to micro.
That’s the spirit! But let’s put things back into perspective – 9 is ok, but #1 is better. I have a guy here ready to try, but like your Skitsune, there’s more than meets the eye.
Don’t think you’ve outfoxed me yet! If shootin’ and stabbin’ won’t work, I’ll try bonk-ing you over the head!
All that creed, your assassins are relentless. Anyway, it’s so peasant to know you are always thinking of me! Unfortunately, I’m joust not there – this is my double. I went to my other castle to get some quiet, before Brickscalibur.
That’s not a knife… This is a knife!
It was nice meeting your Swiss Army Wife, she was definitely dressed to kill. Let me introduce you to mine – Knocks…Victory Knocks. With all dead things laying around I think you have a real shot at taxidermy, so here’s my gift to you.
All that fancy gadgetry won’t save you Jordan, I’ve got a license to build and I’m not afraid to use it! Better watch your back, because I’m gunnin’ for you this round!
Something shady is going on here and I don’t think that bunny was hit by a truck, it looks completely floored. I just hope he’s not stuck in the Lindbo.
I’ll be honest, it’s only 5 days and I already feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. But somehow, I’m sure I’ll find the will to carrion, no matter how grisly this round gets!
Hey man, are you hAngry for more? No ties in Iron Builder and yet I made 2 so far (same shirt too). I’m not trying to ORChestrate the show, just to put some fire builds out there.
Duncan, are you trying to cyberpunk me? You can slide or spinner-ound, but that’s the po-pos, so not a sound. #YONHO
DANKOOOOOO!!! Sorry, I’m not sure why I’m shouting. I guess these past few builds have got me feeling really anime-ted!
Don’t you know I collect chainsaws…man. Check the statistics. Stihl, my collection is too big, so this one will be on sale from October 15th on Creations for Charity’s website.
What’d you say? Sorry, couldn’t hear you, I had my earplugs in! I’ll admit, I was a little stumped when I first saw the seed part… So I cleared my schedule to think, and woodn’t you know it, I was able to come up with a few ideas myself!
Duncan, sorry, but I found some bugs in your mech. I hope these will give you some IDEAS how to fix it, may be even get you in the 10K Club.
Aw, geez, that was my only one! Bot that’s okay, I guess I’ll mecha do with something else to illustrate my points…
I’m no Picasso, but a promise is a promise. Sorry I took one of your pencils!
If we’re playing, I think rock beats scissors any day. And yes, I am all about crafts, how about I draw you a Rose, Jack?
That’s a cute fish Yordan! He looks a little lonely though… Maybe he’d be happier if he returned to his school? But not to worry, I’ve got just the tool to cut that line and set him free!
Hey Duncan, I want to give you a worm welcome – the iron way. I guarantee you will get hooked!
This round’s seed part is the Technic Rotor Blade in red.

Our defending Iron Builder Champion Jordan Jivkov or our challenger Duncan Lindbo?
It is now in the hands of our judges to decide who has won this round!
Good luck to both our builders!
Closing entry! It was a great round and I think we both made a good job. We animated each other to leave our comfort zones and we have always gifen our best. Now it’s time for the judges to decide, who of us will catapult himself on the Iron Throne.
Try to make up for a bit of sleep deprivation, re-sort your parts collection and most importantly: recover a bit from the stress!
Justus, it’s been an amusing journey, but I have one last build to park here. Your last build shows you have been training hard! In my estimation this has been a fair (merry go) round!
All heard the loud bell, on the Iron Carousel,
It tolled to announce the round was done
And let the challengers rest while the sun
Was still up for both had stayed
Up far too late for their builds to be made
Terminus, Joe! It’s been a long, sometimes arduous trip, but I think we’ve had a tramendous time, right? However, time flies and it’s time for us to get off (s)now. Thanks to all who watched and to you, Joe, for this wonderful Iron Builder round!
You will need more than a puny idol to save you from my devouring serpent! I plan to steer a straight path to victory and not slither about. I plan to stay the (vi)king on the throne!
Idoln’t know how your Constraction MOC is doing, but you better hurry up with it. Remember: We only god three days left!
Nice wagon, but for traveling I prefer this vantastic RV! I know, the seed part usage isn’t very obvious at first glance so I recarded a short video to demonstrate the working seed part suspension!
This round has been a wild ride! I’ve had enough horsing around and wanted to get moving. Can you handle the heat or will you desert this competition?
Hey Joe, I hope my lizard doesn’t saddle you with pressure but I think we had a deal to both build a Constraction MOC this round, right? You know what you gotta duo now!
Happy Birthday Justus! Sorry I couldn’t leaf you alone today. I hope your celebrations don’t make you fall behind. You will need to build a little faster if you want to bridge the gap between us.
What can I say bud, I got the IB under my skin 😀
You keep posting your funny little coocoo builds, I’m done :p
Here’s my Grand Finale, hope you all enjoyed the show!
I’m coocoo for foil part!!! nah just kidding 😛
There are lots of butterflies like this one 😛
I found the light buddy!!! It all happened in that secret shrine 😉
Carefull my friend, I smell a trap 😛
send him to space, that outta sort out whatever problems you have with him.
Liftoff!
I was gonna hang with Robin Foil but he is such a fraud so I think I might join you for a cup of coffee 😀
I prefer to relax with a good cup of coffee actually :p
Feel free to join me!
Soon we will be able to spend some zen time 😉
Well it’s gonna be checkmate for one of us pretty soon 😛
Only a day or two to go, gotta keep on chugging away :p
Well I’m a hipster, what can I say. Check out my clothes 😀
(another bonus build 😉 )
While your mind is focused on petty things like birds nests, I’m occupying myself with something a bit more intellectually challenging 😉
Ok back to smalk 😛
Well my plane still runs like a charm and while up in the air, I made a new buddy:
Sorry no smalk on this one, just a bonus build for fun 😉
Can that thing still fly? looks old, my old thing is older though!
if it can’t, forget the air, you might be joining this guy down in the ground ;P
I’m not going to stick around this guy, I’m going up in the air in that bi plane 😉
Awesome, you need to be awake and alert when you’re around this guy :p
Here is something that will wake you up for sure 😀
There has been an awakening Jimmy, have you felt it?
Don’t you like bumper cars??? 😛
Note: Unfortunately this creation was deleted by David.
Ya well I got something more fun than chemestry 😛 , a FAIR!!!
Here’s a painless build for ya Jimmy 😉
Nope!!! My body doesn’t feel any pain!! 😀
Crazy man? we’ve been building like machines!
do your joints need a spot of oil yet?
