MOCs of the LEGO Masters: Other brothers brick get ready for the big day

Ben Grayson has been featured a few times on The Brothers Brick, but this week the builder is taking brick brotherhood to another level as he joins LEGO Masters season 5 alongside his brother Michael. Ben completed this pre-show piece as a color challenge, contrasting yellowish green foliage with lavender moss. We’re big fans of floating rocks around here, and Ben makes this motif soar on a small footprint with excellent verticality and crisscrossing vines as a dynamic flourish. Ben pairs the build with a little narrative. Fisherman Bjorn Clidestine is journeying far from home, an old man alone into the Aether on a desperate mission to help his starving village. Good luck, Bjorn, and good luck to the brothers Grayson!

This is part of our series on MOCs of the Masters where we preview the work of the newest batch of LEGO Master contestants. Have a look at creations from other builders in the lineup.

Revisiting Life on Mars at Orion Station

Back in 2001, LEGO released a wonderful Space subtheme called Life on Mars. It featured a colony of Martians along with some Terran space exploration vehicles, and plenty of mechs. Builder Ben Brickson sends us back to the red planet with this glorious space station based on the original theme. Sporting the sand purple coloration of 7317 Aero Tube Hangar and a brilliant dark orange planetary surface dotted with trans-pink ferns, this build very much feels like a worthy modern take.

Beam me up, Master Chief!

Oh, have I mixed up my franchises again? Maybe I should lay off the eggnog during my Halo Infinite playing sessions. I immediately recognised Ben Brickson‘s superb LEGO beam emitter as being from that universe. It looks remarkably more peaceful than I’ve become accustomed to, though… Perhaps the Covenant are still on their Christmas vacation. Or they got accidentally beamed up by a passing USS Enterprise. I mean, it’s perfectly feasible that they would come across a Halo installation, right? They’re only separated by a few hundred years. Wait, maybe the phasers are where they got the idea for their plasma weapons! Or – OK, OK, I’m putting the eggnog down now…

Ben Brickson dreams of electronic greebles

One of the most exciting attractions at LEGO conventions over the past two years is the massive Cyberpunk collaboration of New Hashima. An array of builders contribute cubes or toppers to the modular megacity that keeps growing and evolving. Ben Brickson is one such collaborator and he recently shared a wonderfully detailed gallery of his residential Hex Home Block. Capsule homes slot into a honeycomb grid of girders like a high-rise hive.
