Scarlet Witch inspired Alchemist

Sometimes LEGO builders draw inspiration from the strangest places. Tobias Goldschalt’s latest creation was inspired by a single LEGO piece. I am talking about the power blast piece that comes with a lot of the Super Heroes sets. It is used as a liquid boiling over the little pot on the built-in Bunsen burner. The use of the bar with 1×1 round plate as a candle holder is very original too. And have you seen the ribbed brick used as a pile of papers? It actually looks like those pieces were designed to be used for this purpose. The best thing about this creation however has to be the shaggy carpet underneath the table. Or maybe it is an elaborately tiled floor. I’m not sure but I like it!

TBB cover photo for May 2020: Seeing Double

This month’s community cover photo features a mind-bendingly detailed alchemist workshop by Markus Rollbühler. Look carefully, and you might think that he’s used Photoshop to mirror one side of the image. A cheeky way to save bricks! However, look even more carefully at the shadows and reflections and you’ll realize it’s not a digital trick, but a full LEGO creation with perfect symmetry.

The immaculate photography complements such an expertly crafted creation. I wonder if the alchemist who resides here is creating such a symmetrical scene through some kind of magic, or are they just OCD?
