A hot-rodding blast from the past builds a heavy duty blast from the past

The Shire: A Long-Expected Upgrade
Don’t let the Sackville-Bagginses catch sight of this impressive household! The Creators Child (flickr) put together a wonderful build of Bag End that incorporates several parts from this year’s The Shire set, like the fence made from boomerangs, but takes the entire presentation to a new level with intricate brick and woodwork on Bilbo’s home, but most impressively, lush vegetation from the garden to the beautiful tree on top.
Villains unite – sinister figs of the LEGO multiverse [Minifig Monday]
What’s a hero without a good villain? Or, better yet, a whole rogue’s gallery of baddies in every flavor. This week on Minifig Monday we celebrate custom LEGO creations of villains – both familiar faces from comics and original characters.
One builder’s weekly exploration of shape and color with Monday mosaics
Johanita Kirsten (@jo_the_autistic_linguist) is regular participant in #MosaicsOnMonday whose works range from elegant patterns reminiscent of Moorish art to bold modern mosaics using only rectangular tiles in as many colors as possible. Each weekly mosaic represents hours of work – both the creation and stripping off the elements to a clear baseplate, like sand art – an ephemeral moment of beauty in bricks.
A cozy cabin creation to get you through the cold.

Greg Scherrer’s inspired brick-built characters find big Muppet energy in LEGO
What if Jim Henson had worked with ABS plastic instead of felt when he started creating the Muppets? Maybe they’d look something like the incredible characters of Chicago-based LEGO builder Greg Scherrer. Each model shows an uncanny talent for bringing out personality in bricks, with a cartoonist’s playfulness in form and color and a puppeteer’s playfulness with motion. It makes sense seeing as Greg is a cartoonist and illustrator by trade. We reached out to the builder to learn a bit more about his process.
A cozy watch tower for fire spotting in microscale
Danish builder Benjamin Anderledes (@xenomoc) feels the allure of lookout tower living and created a microscale version in LEGO. Brown chain railing keeps the nanofigure ranger safe as they take in the spectacular view of microscale trees.
From swans to spoonbills, these brick-built birds are a soaring achievement
Dutch AFOL William Van Beek didn’t set out with a focus on building birds – his MOCs had been grounded more in the architecture of the Netherlands. But as buildings became dioramas, birds became as essential as minifigs to bring the Dutch countryside to life. Let’s admire some of William’s avian creations!
