I’m in Billund this week, representing The Brothers Brick at Fan Media Days, where we’re lucky to get an inside look at what projects LEGO is cooking up for the months to come. As cool as those sneak peeks are, a highlight of this experience has been the chance to see the MOCs on display Continue reading →
When LEGO goth queen Pernilla Johansson (legonillan) shows up with her sigfig, you know things are about to get spooky! The Swedish builder found a lot to love about the recent Beauty and the Beast Castle, but the lilac and gold simply would not do for Pernilla’s coterie of vampires and ghouls. In Extreme Makeover: Continue reading →
Greebles are famously the extraneous bits added to the outside of a model to add texture. Builder Aidan Webb dares to ask, what if a model were nothing but greebles? The Wasteland Strider is inspired by the mechanical wildlife of the Horizon games, with Aidan exploring what a creature might look like if its rider was constantly scavenging for parts to keep the mount functional. As fragile as the beast appears, Aidan managed to wrangle it into a rideable state for a desert nomad and their supplies. It’s an incredible amount of detail for such a compact creature.
This week, we’re throwing out the rulebook and smashing the (injection) mould. Welcome to a Wild Card edition on Minifig Monday — a glorious grab-bag of minifigure madness where demons rub shoulders with space police, and chicken hags party with cake golems. You read that right. This week’s featured builders are a masterclass in thinking Continue reading →
In the United States, the fourth Saturday in September is National Public Lands Day – a day of service and celebration for the stewardship of public lands, from community gardens to national parks. It’s a day to give back as well as a chance to visit any of the county’s national parks for free. If Continue reading →
Magnuses don’t get much more Ultra than this 7,000 piece creation by @exquisite_shipmaster
It might be called the Forgotten Temple, but @pickybrickster uses LEGO to bring their world travel memories home with them.
This incredibly detailed model of a Green Birdwing Butterfly by moptoptrev (@moptoptrev) looks like it just might fly right off the page.
While Mario is busy hogging the spotlight, @neo_mocs brings us a build of a lesser seen Nintendo game that we’d love to see more brick versions of.
We’re stumped as to how @yr_bricks made this tree truck cottage look so amazing. There must be a little bit of magic at work.
Alysa Kirkpatrick renders a work of art depicting the mess that the act of creating art can leave behind.
LEGO bricks may be rigid and angular, but somehow Sophie (@balula.brick.builder) manages to make them look like watercolors in this incredible island villa. The house is charming with surprisingly intricate brickwork used for the plastered white walls and thin brown frame making the subtly shaped windows and door pop. The landscaping is so soothing with the mix of sand green and nougat. Custom lighting elements make the scenic villa even more inviting. TFOL Sophie only just started sharing builds this summer. Be sure to give her a follow to see what she builds next!
