Time, there's never enough of it. Seems like I'm continually racing the clock, every day. It could also be said I'm a little nuts, or cuckoo. So this MOC by BrickBuilder7622 speaks to me, or at least reminds me that I really need to get this blog post done and get in the shower because it's almost time to head back to BrickCon!
I'm having flashbacks to being a kid, and the agonizing wait until Christmas. Where time itself can be empirically observed to slow down, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. I am of course talking about the four day wait I have until Star Wars comes out. Perhaps if I had this wonderful clock by Legonardo Davidy the hands wouldn't mock me to the same level.
what do you do when your plastic cuckoo clock breaks? Build a new, better one out of LEGO of course! That's exactly what builder Miro78 has done and as you can see the results are brilliant. There's no little birdie, and the weights are just for show, but it's still a functioning clock, and a fine looking one I might add.
Things have been a bit quiet on the Iron Builder front, and now I know why. This extremely elaborate and realistic cuckoo clock proved to be a challenge for the brothers Falworth. But it was all worth the effort, because this is thing of beauty.
Today we are joined by Katie Walker who shares the steps of creating a LEGO cheese slope mosaic that almost looks like a stained glass window.
What is a LEGO cheese slope and how can you tessellate them to make patterns that dazzle and amaze? This tutorial will teach you everything you need to know about cheese slope mosaics.
Can LEGO Botanical sets be used as “tree battle packs”? Yes! Here’s how to transform 10373 Mini Bonsai Trees into minifig-scale trees for all your MOC needs.
August is here with a fresh selection of LEGO contests and challenges. Don’t miss your chance to build a MOC and maybe even win some awesome LEGO prizes. With Frogust, Paradisa, and even some stop-motion in the mix, there’s plenty of inspiration to start building!
Sometimes the best LEGO projects solve problems nobody actually has. Follow the design of the Kong-o-Matic 2000, a motorized machine that plays LEGO Donkey Kong so you don’t have to!
Now you can build your own iconic upscaled LEGO tree! Instructions are available right here on BrickNerd and in BrickJournal’s most recent issue.
From color palettes to clever part choices, building LEGO Pokémon at minifig scale takes skill and a sharp eye for detail. We chat with Radioactive Cheese about how he brings his Pokédex to life.
