Read MoreI wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at when I spied Vince Toulouse's latest creation. Yeah, clearly it's a high-tech tram. But with a front-loader washing machine on the third level? Or is it a Minion? Whatever, it's pretty frakin' cool! Check out Vince's photostream to see all the nifty details, especially his notations on the various Duplo and Fabuland pieces that when into this build. Slick!
Congratulations, this minion couple by car_mp is going to tie the knot. But from the looks of it, the groom is perhaps having second thoughts. This looks a lot like a cake topper, but that would have to be a pretty enormous cake. What I really want to know is where those spiffy chromed 4x4 round plates.
I do enjoy a good mashup, and builder car_mp has brought together two things that needed to be united, Star Wars and Minions. Although, Luke would probably argue that learning from Yoda was difficult enough, now he speaks in nonsensical bursts and craves bananas? At least Lando probably never knew what the deal was so he didn't know it was getting worse.
I haven't seen the Minions movie yet, but I hear it's funny. These little yellow dudes, like this one artfully recreated by bricks.life.idea, were by far my favorite part of Despicable Me. In fact, I've never been able to get through the whole movie in one sitting, but I always enjoy the moments these guys are on screen. I also like the concept of an entire army of dedicated workers, I could really use them at the studio these days (even if they'd struggle when it comes to dealing with the banana LEGO pieces).
Today we are joined by Katie Walker who shares the concept of a “Flash MOC” and the evolution of one of her stunning backlit LEGO cheese slope mosaics.
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.
