This LEGO build won’t break any records – but in this case, that’s a good thing
When I’m building a LEGO set, I sometimes like to stick on a nice vinyl record to help me to unwind. (It’s also a good way to get me to stand up every 20 minutes or so when the sides need flipping.) But I never would’ve thought that a vinyl player could become the LEGO model!…

Majisto’s adventuring days aren’t over yet
While many of us are more accustomed to seeing an older sage Majisto the Wizard, the latest build from Simulterious shows a younger version of everyone’s favorite LEGO wizard on an earlier adventure. There’s some absolutely wonderful brick-built lighting work at play here, using…

Addressing the painted elephant in the room
Gluing LEGO is generally considered taboo, but what about painting LEGO? Does it even matter if the end result looks this great? Builder lego_smile_leo has a gifted eye for design, specifically in realistic animal models that use the perfect parts to capture the shaping. The…

The complexity of simplicity
The beautiful simplicity of this traditional Chinese courtyard by akidandabrick is a brilliantly executed topcoat over some truly great LEGO building techniques. Some, such as the Wolverine claws for foliage, are classics that have been executed perfectly, while others like the…

More LEGO birdwatching with Mike Sinclair
Anyone remember Mike Sinclair‘s beautiful blue heron, posted at the start of last year? Well, he’s been back down to the pond for some more LEGO bird-watching. This time, he’s spotted a swan, gliding serenely through the reeds and lilypads. That serenity extends to the water,…

Mind the big cat – it’s made of glass!
Dissecting fauna to find out what their insides are like is such messy work. If only there were animals with clear skin, so that we could see how it all works. Basically, a bit like French AFOL Alexis (Mr Youm)’s big cat! This eye-catching creation uses an incredible variety of…

LEGO Ideas 40889 Build, Paint and Play! Gift with Purchase: when hobbies collide [Review]
By dint of being a toy for most of its existence, LEGO sets have never delved all that much into the realm of life-size. With the exponential rise in display models of late, though, such designs are starting to pop up with more regularity – see the World Cup trophy or the cats…

The quite literal Stairway to Heaven
Eli Willsea (forlornempire) has a habit of delivering visually impressive LEGO creations that also tell a story (be sure to check out our Eli Willsea archives), and this striking staircase is no exception. The figure at the bottom of the build struggles to escape the darkness…

Is it really a proper LEGO space theme without walkers?
Classic LEGO space theme M-Tron has a lot going for it, but there is one glaring omission from the nine sets it got. No, it’s not a faction to battle. And no, it’s not a permanent base – the Mega Core Magnetizer fulfils that function perfectly fine, thank you. Luna S knows the…

The last of the homologation specials captured in LEGO bricks
The words ‘homologation special’ are likely to set the heart of any petrolhead racing. Once upon a time, racing a car meant you had to sell a certain number of units of said car to the public. Want to make your race car faster? Make your road car faster! And many manufacturers…

Taking the Technic for a spin in SHIPtember
One thing we absolutely love about the 100-LEGO-stud-long challenge that is SHIPtember is the work in progress shots, and the story that they tell about what is often a seriously difficult undertaking. We only came across Matrix Bricks‘ entry a week or so after September ended,…

Call home from deep space with this hard sci-fi LEGO space station
As I continue my homebrew hard sci-fi theme, I keep finding myself drawn to building dishes and comms platforms, so I leaned into that and made a whole space station around that idea. If you’ve missed my previous entries, you can check them out here. This station sits outside…

Exo-Force: The final boss?
LEGO set Designer Chris Perron is well-known for his mech-building chops, but this Exo-Force-themed beauty is on a whole other level. The scale caught me off guard when I first saw this, because yes, those robots around the mech’s feet are roughly minifig scale, making this mech…
