The spring equinox has just been and gone, so the days are getting longer and summer is on its way. To get us in the mood, Grant Davis has crafted an idyllic-looking bit of LEGO coastline. The still pictures on their own are already making me long for a bit more sunshine (especially having just been through the Finnish winter!), but these only tell half the story…

See that wave in the water? Well, it moves! Buried in the sand is a clever mechanism that moves it back and forth along with its base, to create a remarkably lifelike imitation of waves lapping the shore.

And if you’re curious as to how exactly this mechanism works, Grant has helpfully made a video detailing just that. Surf’s up!
