At first glance, one sees a typically-fashioned dollhouse. However, this house is made out of Lego by TFOL Lasse Vestergård and his mother. It is made to the curious scale of a custom-built 1958 Lego mascot. Check out the individual room details on Flickr. Can you find the typewriter, the LEGO wooden duck, and the Continue reading →

Valgarise built this lovely modular structure as a birthday present for his friend Many. It has a complete interior, but what sets it apart for me is the pair of windows on the upper floor.
I love the nostalgic feel of this rendition of the stereotypical New York City train car diner. The esthetic that Nathan has worked out is perfect. I want to go in and order a burger. Gotta love those curved windows too!
I love well-crafted interior and I have been a Sherlockian since I first read the stories as a kid So this scene by Peter Reid grabbed me in a big way. The use of sand-red for the walls was an excellent choice and the room simply oozes Victorian charm. I haven’t gotten one of the Continue reading →
Lego.Skrytsson‘s modular house shows an interesting and useful technique. Take a look at the sand red wall and note how the builder used slanted slope bricks to create a unique texture. These two shots reveal more about how it’s done.
It’s been a while since Tim Zarki (spook) has posted a polished MOC but this beauty shows he’s still got his skills. Awesome Syd Mead vibe.

In small dioramas it’s the little details that matter. de-marco packs a bunch of cute touches into this idyllic scene. This is not Farmville.
I can only hope that the construction equipment of the future will resemble these adorable robots by Paul Evans (Paul Evans RG&B). These things are covered in details to love. The face offers us a tiny grin, and fascinating asymmetrical eyes. The exhaust stack built into the back of an arm looks nice, and harkens Continue reading →
Matija Grguric knows when to post a WIP.
One of the rarely-mentioned advantages of mining equipment is that it is so huge you can build it in technic and have it be minifig scale. As Arjan Kotte (Konajira) illustrates in this delightful pair.
A collection of Lugpol members (Pit, Mrutek, Rasch, Ciamek, Glaz_Pimpur, Misiek, Zgredek and Kris Kelvin) have combined forces to produce this stunning diorama of the Eastern Front. The diorama is presently on display at Gdansk Town Hall and if I was near the area I’d certainly be checking it out. The diorama is full of Continue reading →
I make no secret of my love for people who build off the grid. This version of Paris in the 1930s cleverly builds to a curve. What’s more impressive is that it’s a collaboration between three builders: LegoManiac (LM), Captain Spaulding and 74louloute for the recent Fanabrique convention. Très bien!
There is something engaging about a well-built bus. I have no idea what it is, since nearly all of my experiences on long bus rides have been bad. However, regardless of my own past experience, Karwik has built a charming bus, complete with bus stop.
