Every day Brothers Brick brings you the best LEGO models from around the world. Just like our global readership, there are LEGO builders across the world creating fabulous things with plastic bricks. However, every year there are a handful of builders who take things to new levels, prove themselves masters of various building styles, and wow us with their LEGO skills.
This year, Brothers Brick is delighted to call out Grant Masters as our LEGO Builder of the Year 2016.
Grant’s LEGO creations range from the minuscule to the mid-size, varied across themes and styles — from characters to architecture, with interesting parts choices and excellent building techniques throughout. His models featured no less than 13 times on the pages of Brothers Brick in 2016, and as Andrew (TBB’s founder and editor-in-chief) pointed out, the creations of Grant’s we didn’t feature could just as easily have been blogged. He’s had a sterling output of work in the past twelve months, and here are some of the highlights.
Grant has used fantastic microscale technique to take us from domestic backyard scenes…
To the surface of the Moon…
As well as being a master of microscale, Grant has brought us a series of minifig-scale dioramas based on the RoboCop movie…
And another series of builds based on Aliens..
He’s created some fun character models…
And some sweet architectural studies…
He’s even produced some work which you would just classify as beautiful art…
His builds have ranged in complexity from tiny creations made from a handful of pieces, to the multi-faceted skull model below. But even the simplest of his models have shown imaginative parts use and excellent technique.
In short, Grant Masters has had an incredible year — in both quantity and quality. That’s why he’s the Brothers Brick LEGO Builder of the Year 2016.
