Tag Archives: Vignettes

Vignettes are like the haiku of the LEGO world. Usually built on a base 8 studs wide by 8 studs deep, vignettes show a little scene or a moment in time. But like written poetry, there’s plenty of variation on the basic theme.

Quiet Study at Naughtston Abby

Built for Classic-Castle’s seed part challenge, Brother Steven brings us this gorgeous little scene of study and meditation. Can you spot the seed part?

Emptiness.

It takes a lot of work to make an empty building look good, and Stijn Oom (DutchLEGO) managed to capture it perfectly:

Lego Clue vignettes

Max Pointner recreated the classic scenarios from the board game Clue where players try to figure out the killer, the weapon, and the room of the murder scene. I like the black frames on each vignette that tie the series together. If you enjoyed these vignettes, check out more dramatized scenes of Clue by Alex Eylar.

A Briton Abroad

Here’s a wonderful little vignette by Steve (workshysteve) depicting a British soldier in Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia) during the British invasion of 1868. The monochromatic browns really bring this vignette together, and Steve’s design for the hut’s thatched roof is perfect.

It depends on who’s behind the counter

A while ago, Nick Sweetman (MinifigNick) built a vignette of a butcher’s shop…

The Butcher Brothers Dilemma !

…Two years later, he revisits the idea after obtaining some custom pig heads.

The Butchers Shop Revisited

Don’t miss the minifig anatomy poster featured in the vignette!

Micro Wizard of Oz

It’s been awhile since we last saw iridescent nohow, but he’s back with a whole slew of micro builds that will make you think twice about a lot of pieces.

I was going to point out all the extremely clever piece uses here, like the drum sticks, the little flesh hands and each of the mini-micro figs … but at eight studs long it’s pretty easy to see all the nice piece usages.
No Place Like Home
(Though I will point out the fantastic Red Ruby Slippers on Dorthy).

And here’s a bonus one for all you Scooby-Doo fans:

Nothing fishy with this vignette

Jonas (Legopard) packed a lot of detail into this exotic vignette of a bamboo hut. The water technique is perhaps the most interesting feature to point out.

The Cult of Bacon

Now here’s a cult I might join: a place where bacon is revered and cooked tenderly to a delicious crisp. Builder Rifiröfi has an active imagination and the building chops to really bring home the bacon.

A ghastly encounter

This scene by Luke Watkins Hutchinson (Derfel Cadarn) seems like a slice of someone’s nightmare. Check out the use of the judge’s hairpiece on the face of the ghoul.

A Renaissance man’s workshop

Captainsmog‘s vignette featuring a character based on Leonardo da Vinci is an example of a creation that shows lots of fine details and techniques that beckons one to explore every corner of the build.

Prometheus and the wrath of the gods

Prometheus, having stolen fire from the gods, was doomed to a terrible fate of being pecked by eagles for eternity. That’s a bummer for Prometheus, but it just so happens to make a really cool looking vignette, as demonstrated by Mihai Marius Mihu.

Real-action Earthbender

This vignette by Dark-Alamez features a must-see video showing a minifig manipulating the snowscape. Watch the first 5 seconds of the video and see if you can figure out how the builder did it. It’s a very clever and simple technique.
