I have fond memories of boxed tank games from my childhood. I would pore through the rule books and study the counters. These days I’m always interested in the convergence between Lego and gaming. The folks over at Brickmania just released their own WWII tank game using brick built micro tanks, so I decided that I had to check it out.
MOCs:
I really can’t say enough about the parts usage in this model. A superb space fighter by Cole Blaq.
Mihai Marius Mihu has built a figure that is both minimal and suggestive of character.
I’ve been finding myself drawn to clean naval models, like this vessel by Shannon Sproule.
Ikea plays a big part in my Lego hobby. I use a whole range of their products to store and organize my collection. The thing about Ikea is that they have such a large and constantly shifting product mix that there are often hidden gems in the catalog. The other day I stumbled across this lighted display case and decided to give it a try.
MOCs:
The latest in an ongoing series of stylized bricks from Cole Blaq. The intricacy provides a lovely sense of scale.
I’ve been failing at doing this daily, but here goes…
MOCs:
_zenn has really put some love into this little hot rod.
These amazingly detailed microscale ships might not be buildable, but can certainly appreciate Awesome O’saurus‘ work.
Pascal is in fine form with this handsome little bonsai. It’s got me rethinking brick built foliage.
This sleek ship by SweStar is what ships are all about.
I might have missed the Jack Stone era, but I can certainly appreciate this walker by nobu_tary.
I think some liberties have been taken with regards to scale, but David Costa‘s micropolis builds never fail to impress.
As the Mixels enter their second year, Lego seems to be struggling to find their footing design wise. This fourth wave of sets takes some interesting chances, which work to varying degrees. I have some nostalgia for glow-in-the-dark toys, so I snapped up the Glowkies as soon as I saw them all in the store.
MOCs:
Another retro-futuristic space truck by Genghis Don.
I love the intricate subtlety of this micro-scale city of the future by lisqr.
MOCs:
Ghengis Don has been building a series of really cool future vehicles lately and this space truck is no exception!
This one is a couple years old, but I’m having a bit of a strandbeest obsession right now.
This little guy is full of clever part usage. Based on a Cardcaptor Sakura character by Moko.
I really enjoy it when builders play with scale, like in this enlarged slope by nobu_tary.
This super realistic scene is a great example of low key style by LegoJalex.
