Carter's Construction Zone

It feels great to be back to working on LEGO projects! Today, I'm releasing a new lil Brickheadz continuing my Animal Crossing collection that I started years ago! It's Kiki the fan-favorite adorable black cat! I've been going through all my previous MOCs and making small improvements where I can! I also got a recent request for a Kiki build, so while I was already revisiting my Animal Crossing cats, it seemed like the perfect opportunity!

Hello everyone! It's hard for me to believe that I haven't posted anything new in over a year, but don't worry, I'm ok LOL! My past year has been really good actually, just super busy! I have a bit of a breather at the moment, so I've been working on several projects all at once! One of my "projects" was to slightly update my username on Rebrickable from "ccZone" to "cczone" which ended up being much more of an involved process for me than I thought omg! Thankfully, Rebrickable handles all of the link updating on their site automatically, but to make sure my username changed everywhere else, I figured it would be a great idea to go through all of my pdf instructions and blog hyperlinks too... I'm glad I did though, because I found a lot of MOCs that could use some small improvements! I think my Animal Crossing villager collection received the most updates so I thought it would be exciting to show you some of the most noticeable ...

The final wave of Stardew Valley mosaics is out now on Rebrickable! This batch includes the memorable pufferfish, innocent rabbit, and deceptively cute slime! Making these sprites was so fun, and I really hope you enjoy building them just as much as I did!

For the second wave of Stardew Valley mosaics we have the cheerful duck, powerful stardrop, and exotic blue chicken! The stardrop and blue chicken specifically are both very rare in the game, so building them felt very special!

Today I'm releasing a brand new collection of free MOCs on Rebrickable! These MOCs are mosaics inspired by sprites from one of my favorite games, Stardew Valley! I've chosen 9 iconic sprites to recreate, and I'll be releasing a batch of 3 every day until the end of February! Today's mosaics are the classic chicken, delicious pumpkin, and adorable junimo!

Today I have a very special surprise villager to share! Say hello to Aurora the penguin! Aurora is a very cute villager, and she was so fun to build!

The last villager of wave 2 is finally here! Poppy the squirrel is making her way to Rebrickable! Poppy is such an adorable villager, and I think her Brickheadz turned out equally as cute!

Phoebe is making her way to Rebrickable today! Although she's technically an "ostrich" villager, I think we all know she's really a majestic phoenix in disguise!

Today's villager is the adorable pink cow, Norma! She was lots of fun to build, and I'm so happy with how she turned out!

Say hello to Hazel the squirrel! Hazel's iconic unibrow can be quite the controversial topic, but I think it certainly makes her unique and gives her character!

Today's newest villager is Freya the wolf! I think a lot of players overlook Freya, but she's actually such a great villager! Her striking colors, and snooty personality make her one of my personal favorites! Plus, her default house design is one of the best I've seen!

Our next villager of wave 2 is Ellie the elephant! Ellie is such a sweet villager, so I definitely thought she deserves her own Brickheadz! I'm actually not sure why she didn't make it in the original batch of villagers, but I'm glad she's finally joining our other elephants, Eloise and Margie, even if she's a bit late!

After months, my second wave of Animal Crossing Villager Brickheadz are finally ready! I apologize for the long wait, but I'm so excited to finally share these builds! Without further ado, meet the newest member of the family, Apple!

Yes! The time has finally come! For months, I've been brainstorming and working on a brand new, fresh batch of Animal Crossing villagers for Rebrickable! I have taken everyone's suggestions into consideration and tried to build as many of them as I could! Starting on September 3rd, I'll be releasing one free villager Brickheadz every day for the whole week! Stay tuned and keep an eye out for your favorite villager! Any guesses who's coming in wave 2?

Here is my latest MOC, John's Goods, from the amazing game Dinkum! This MOC is a little different from what I normally build, but I'm very happy with how it turned out! I made sure to include familiar details like the Australian red dirt and plenty of billy buttons growing around the shop! Even if you've never played Dinkum before, this general store could make a great addition to any Western-themed display too!

Lots of new projects are in the works right now, but here's a sneak peek for one that's almost ready for release! This MOC is a little different than my usual, so stay tuned for more details soon!

It's been a while since my last new MOC, but new Brickheadz are finally here! Say hello to everyone's favorite owl siblings, Blathers and Celeste! This month, we celebrated Museum Day on our islands, so it's the perfect time to build Blathers and Celeste and even Brewster too!

Happy Easter! And of course, happy Bunny Day too! Everyone's "favorite" Easter bunny from Animal Crossing, Zipper T. Bunny, is hopping on to Rebrickable! He's definitely not creepy or wearing a costume! He can't wait to bring all his crazy Bunny Day shenanigans to your island!

Viva Festivale! Festivale is definitely one of my favorite holidays in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so here is its energetic host, Pavé the peacock! He's ready to light up the dance floor with his stunning moves! This ended up being my biggest Brickheadz ever with over 400 pieces! Surprisingly, most of the bulk is actually in his tail!

Merry Christmas and Happy Toy Day! Jingle is here to celebrate the season and spread Christmas cheer to all your villagers! This was a very fun model to build but also quite challenging as well! Jingle's iconic shirt and antlers were definitely the hardest parts to build! I'm happy with how he turned out in the end, and I hope you love him too!
