Goss Harag! Made of LEGO! Custom model by me with instructions for my supporters HERE!

I am slowly getting the rest of Rise's roster built and prepared for the collection. Just Almudron and Tetranadon are left!

Goss is a funny monster, and out of all the silhouettes I wanted to nail- the important one for me is the gangly abominable snowman look.

His lower body went through many revisions because people kept telling me to make him fatter. Thanks for all the support everyone! I got many more monster builds on the way!

Just got the instructions out for my custom LEGO Shogun Ceanataur from Monster Hunter 2 Dos! One of my favorite monsters! Want to build one yourself? Support my project HERE to learn more!

So to explain the Cirno (Touhou Character); Back when I used to make Monster Hunter Video Essays (like the Monster Hunter 2 video), I would often (half jokingly) cite a picture of Cirno next to a crab in a strange desolate location:

To me, in many ways, this picture represents Monster Hunter's core aesthetics- the mix of cute flashy characters in an extremely hostile environment with giant monsters.

I've also got instructions for the variant models, Terra Shogun Ceanataur and Rustrazor Ceanataur!

Thanks for all the continued support everyone! I got many more models on the way soon!

Got another Pikmin-focused collection of builds for y'all today! FREE instructions for all 3 of these LEGO builds, check them out right HERE!

This time I focused on a few infamous Pikmin creatures that show up in a cave in Pikmin 2 known as the Subterrenean Complex! The Gatling Groink is a weird walking goldfish with a machine gun built into his mouth; while the Careening Dirigibug is strange bug that spits out giant bombs while floating on strange balloon-like antennae. Finally the worst of them all is the Volatile Dweevil, which is spider that falls on you and explodes itself. Pikmin 2 wasn't messing around LMAO Stay tuned for more PIKMIN and MONSTER HUNTER LEGO builds on the way soon! Thanks for all the continued support!

My favorite crab in the whole wide world is Daimyo Hermitaur. What a magnificent animal. Anyway, I built it out of LEGO. Instructions was uploaded for my supporters right HERE.

This model is actually a revision of a model I built back in 2021, which was incredibly outdated compared to my current skill as a builder.

I also got instructions for Plum Daimyo Hermitaur and Stonefist Hermitaur! These required a lot of extra work to prepare, since they aren't just simple color swaps.

I hope you all enjoy building this model, it was a pleasure to build it.

Thanks for all the continued support everyone!

Many more models coming soon!

Rajang has been unleashed! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Well thankfully it’s just my LEGO instructions that were unleashed. My supporters can build their own LEGO Rajang by checking out the instructions HERE.

Rajang is one of my favorite monsters, in the same way that I love Kirin or Teostra- I love the MonHun Developer’s takes on classic mythical creatures. In this case Rajang is an interpretation of a Minotaur, albeit combined with the Japanese Rajin. So wonderfully unique!

I also have instructions for the dreaded variant Furious Rajang! Mind you- I believe the normal version is the superior model.

This was a fun model to remaster, my last Rajang model was from 2023 and was very outdated in comparison. I’ve improved a lot as a builder these past few years.

Thanks for all the continued support! More models on the way soon!

I recently revised my Chameleos model- updating the parts and making it otherwise more accurate to the source material!

If you are interested in building this model yourself, supporters of my project and get the instructions HERE.

Chameleos is one of my favorite Elder Dragons and I hope you all enjoy building him as much as I have!

Thanks for all the continued support!!

In case you never noticed, my username on the internet (since 2010!!) is PIKMINjake!

April Fools felt like the perfect day to announce something like this; Starting today, alongside making monsters from Monster Hunter, I will be exploring monsters and creatures from other video game franchises! Starting of course with my other hyper fixation, Pikmin!

Don't get it twisted though, Monster Hunter is still the number 1 priority project.

Still, please enjoy the FREE instructions for a couple Pikmin creatures right HERE!

I won't be building every creature from Pikmin. 70% of the monsters in that series are bug glubshittos that are tiny, have no play value, and have zero shelf presence. I only want to build the most iconic designs.

Expect more posts like this inbetween every couple Monster Hunter build! And I'm open to suggestions on other franchises to explore as well!

What would you say is your favorite all time monster? Both in game, or also if there's a build youre particularly proud of

My two favorite Monsters from Monster Hunter are tied for first. I equally love both Lagiacrus and the Kirin! Akantor is my third favorite.

As for builds I'm proud of, Lagiacrus and Akantor are certainly up there! I'm also very proud of my Zinogre and Brachydios (I was so proud of them, I made their instructions free so that people build them and get hooked on the project).

I'm also very proud of my Uragaan and the Fated Four.

And my Fatalis and Gravios. But obviously the monster I'm the most proud of has to be Gogmazios. It's the biggest LEGO model I have ever built.

Can we see a photo of the qurupeco in the bird wyvern header on your patreon please? Or is that one patreon only? I love qurupeco! I used it in stories 1 and 2 and recently got gifted tri and I love its lil dances and how it smacks its hands together and jumps when it fights and crimson qurupeco is even cooler because of that quest with the devijho showing up

Sure thing! Here he is! My Qurupeco design is pretty old now, but I still think it holds up okay.

Instructions can be found HERE for my supporters.

I also have a design for Crimson Qurupeco too!

I put together LEGO instructions for the Great Jagras from Monster Hunter World- for my project supporters over HERE!

Great Jagras was a long overdue monster to build. He's still incredibly popular in the community despite being a total pushover of a monster. Nostalgia reigns supreme every time! (Can you believe it's been 8 years since we first saw this guy??!)

Unfortunately, he does not swallow herbivores and he does not inflate, sorry!

Thanks for all the continued support everyone! I've got many more monsters on the way!

[pikminjake]

Got a couple Rise Bird Wyverns that I need to show off; LEGO Great Izuchi and Aknosom!

You download the instructions for Great Izuchi and his little pals for FREE right here.

Aknosom is available to my supporters over here.

I finally finished Goss Harag so be on the lookout for his instructions coming soon! Until then, I have a bunch more planned! Thanks for all the continued support everyone!

Check this out, I turned Monster Hunter's 2nd Gen Volcano map into a LEGO playset, complete with action play features!

You can get the FREE instructions for it HERE.

My terrain builds are designed for imaginative play and display! This volcano build includes mineable Dragonite Ore and Firestone, as well as deliverable Powderstones, and a lava-fire spout action-activated play feature!

Ruin your Powderstone run... just like in the game! Thanks for all the continued support everyone!

LEGO Lala Barina from Monster Hunter Wilds! This is actually a revision of an older model I released in 2024. I accidentally made the previous model twice the size it should've been... because at the time there was no gameplay footage of the monster! Obviously the game has since released and I have shrunk Lala down to a more accurate size. oh and the instructions? They are FREE, check them out HERE.

Because it's smaller, the model is actually half the pieces (and half the cost). And if you happen to own the older model, it uses mostly pieces from that previous model, so upgrading is made easier.

Because it weighs less, it doesn't require a model stand like the previous one did!

Here the models are rendered side by side simultaneously; to see the size difference between the two. Overall I'm much happier with the new model, however for those that prefer the previous model, instructions for that one are also included. Thanks for all the continued support! Many more models on the way soon!

[pikminjake]

This is GOBUL from Monster Hunter 3 Tri! And if you want to build your own LEGO Gobul, you can support my project and get all my many instructions including Gobul HERE!

The eyes actually glow in the dark! This model is pretty complex and uses a ton of tiny pieces to get the back texture correct, check it out!

He's a big flat fish. Purple chud of a leviathan. There's also a secret hidden in his body that you'll see when you build him. The display-stand seen in the first picture is also included optionally in the instructions for those that want him to swim instead of lying around like a lazy fish.

And optional back spikes too! Well that about does it, thanks again for all the continued support! Many more monster builds on the way soon!

Outside the gates of Yukumo Village is the mystical mountain stream known as the Misty Peaks!

I wanted to create a simple Locale terrain build based on a few sights from this nostalgic location.

Particularly Areas 3 & 9 from the map.

Instructions can be found HERE. And they are FREE. Zinogre is too, you can find him HERE.

Like usual, the terrain builds feature gathering nodes for any minifigure hunters you may have. Collect, Spiderweb, Honey, Flashbugs, and more!

Thanks for the continued support everyone!

[pikminjake]

Who here likes Yian Garuga? I have prepared a revised model to replace my old outdated Yian Garuga LEGO model. Of course, Instructions can be found HERE for my supporters that want to build it themselves!

The instructions come with a parts list and guide on how to get the parts. And if you happen to already own my older model, it's easy to upgrade! Many parts transfer from the old model to the new!

An important gimmick found in the old model was optional alternative pieces for changing Yian Garuga into Scarred Yian Garuga or Deadeye Yian Garuga. The alternative pieces are also hidden in the new model as well! So you only need to build the one model to technically have all 3! Thanks for all the continued support! I have many more models on the way soon!

My new revised LEGO Odogaron has instructions available for my supporters HERE!

It's standard with my revision models that I include a an upgrade guide for those who have previously built my older model and wish to upgrade!

Of course, Ebony Odogaron has instructions too! I attempted Guardian Ebony Odogaron, however it did not work well as a color swap with the pieces used. It just looked messy and ugly.

It does use one illegal building technique for the bottom jaw's fangs, but I don't think it's a big deal. Thanks for the continued support everyone!
