Relax and take in those pleasing right angles!
Which is the best retro LEGO theme – Classic Space or Classic Castle? Richard Young (IamKritch on Flickr) dares to suggest, “why not both?” with the amazing Wolftron theme. Created for the Eurobricks Summer Faction Festival, Richard starts with a reimagining of the icond 6075 Wolfpack Tower, sticking with the retro colors to imagine a bold new future for the notorious scoundrels.

When Kimberly Giffen isn’t helping out behind the scenes at The Brothers Brick, she’s building incredible LEGO dioramas that blend ornate architecture, impeccable landscaping, and a masterful use of color. Like this cozy cottage! What’s remarkable about Kimberly’s models is how organic they feel. Structures break the grid, and a pleasing asymmetry informs every element of the scene, like the irregular brick-built water or the shaping of the weeping willow.
