Whichever style you prefer, these three figures by tankm are here to wish you all the best in the year of the dog. Personally, I really appreciate the Continue reading →
Speaking of FBTB, their CubeDude Vignettes Contest is now complete, and has yielded some nice results. Larry Lars captures Jabba the Hutt’s musical entertainers in his vignette: Andy Grubb deservedly takes home the first place prize, though, with this awesome forced-perspective view of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy pursuing the golden snitch in a game Continue reading →

Ryan Wood (lights) rocks. Also, he built a CubeDude, which also rocks. I love the tattoos on his arm, and how he’s holding the whammy bar. Speaking of LEGO Rock Band, the video game is due out next month, and the full track list has been announced. (I’ve been avoiding dedicating a whole post to Continue reading →
Beyond the originals by Angus MacLane, my favorite CubeDude so far is this lovely Princess Leia as Jabba’s slave girl by Larry Lars. I love the fact that Larry’s Leia is less, uh, cubical than most other CubeDudes. Beyond juvenile references to CubeDude anatomy, Larry has incorporated some really interesting techniques, including LEGO coins as Continue reading →

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!
The warped mind of Hideo Kojima has created some incredible games. Just in time for the release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, builder @carecreations_ shows how perfect Kojima’s world is for LEGO. The vignette is dense with details from the game – we especially love the minifig trophy used for the breach baby!
With LEGO releasing so many large-scale sets of late, many builders have taken to crafting “the version I can afford” micro-sized alternatives. Joe Lam has made a few such tiny builds lately. We loved his mini Balrog Book Nook, but this chibi Going Merry from One Piece might be his cutest microbuild yet. The cornice Continue reading →
