My latest seasonal set purchase is this cute little turkey. I’ve enjoyed the bat that I built for Halloween, so I picked up this handsome gobbler a couple of weeks ago. Our family tradition tends toward a meatless Thanksgiving feast of side dishes, so this turkey might make an adorable centerpiece. Continue reading 40091 Thanksgiving Turkey
I’ve posted a number of articles now on building little trees (happy, studly, and slopey) and they have all been built around a core of travis bricks. Though I haven’t even begun to exhaust the possible permutations and hybrid techniques available, I decided to try something completely different. This time I’ll be building trees using elements pierced by different lengths of bar. Continue reading Posted Trees
This week I would like to talk about building trees with slopes. In my first post about trees, I focused on the relative new-comer, the cheese slope. The humble roof slope provides a lot of possibilities, with its pebbly textured slope and top studs. Lets brick build some more trees!
Lately, I’ve been spending a bit more time around train and town AFOLs and it has had me thinking about straying into minifig scale buildings. I saw some lovely models last month at BrickCon, that inspired me even further. I don’t own any of the ‘modular’ buildings that Lego has released, so the idea of building one of my own is a bit daunting. Lucky for me, The LEGO Neighborhood Book is the perfect introduction.
This last weekend I attended my second Lego convention: BrickCon 2014. As the longest running convention on the West coast, BrickCon draws builders from all across the country and internationally. This would be my chance to meet some new builders and get to see their amazing creation up close. Continue reading BrickCon 2014
Every wave of the Mixels has been awesome. I don’t always love the models themselves, but it is hard to argue with a combination of cute models with low price points and a wealth of lovely elements, many new or in new colors. Join me as I assemble my first tribe from the third series: the Spikels. Continue reading Spikels
Last week I built trees with cheese slopes. This week I’d like to explore the wonders of the humble plate. Builders often fear the stud, but studded surfaces provide visual texture that evokes the organic and we can make that work for us building landscapes.
