This micro Maul is a miniature masterpiece

Way back in 2001, LEGO released set 10018, a nearly 2000 piece bust of Star Wars baddie Darth Maul. While that set was definitely impressive, it was mostly just bricks and plates stacked together to sculpt an almost pixelated version of the Sith Lord. To demonstrate just how far LEGO construction has come since then, Byldan has constructed a microscale Maul that’s cleaner and smoother and made with about ten percent of the pieces. Maul’s trademark black and red visage is rendered here with a clever combination of minifigure body parts and utensils. Some of the construction may not be entirely legal, but no one expects the Sith to follow the rules.

This farmer and carabao exceeds our grain expectations

Summer Joust is heating up and this time the category is Farms and Fields. LEGO builder Byldan tackles the challenge in a big way in an exotic locale; The Philippines. Here we see an upscaled shirtless farmer and his trusty carabao ( Filipino water buffalo) plowing a rice paddy field. While our farmer isn’t without his charm, I’m rather smitten by the build techniques comprising the expression of the carabao’s face; and those horns are curved just right. No wonder this hard-working beast of burden is the national animal of the Philippines!
