Last month, I attended my fifth Bricks Cascade. It was a big show and I had a lot of ups and downs this year. Continue reading Bricks Cascade 2018
P-98 Nemesis by Jon Hall
I’ve long been an admirer of Jon Hall‘s understated dieselpunk style. Sand blue is a perfect color for military builds and nicely set off by white here. Careful use of custom graphics (and removal of some original printing) really finishes it.
HY-GOGG
The many Gundam series have produced an almost limitless wealth of mecha designs. I love seeing a builder like Moko putting his stamp on an uncommon model like this HY-GOGG. Make sure to click through and check out some of the other photos!.
Beatrice von Hex
The successful interaction of system and constraction elements is key to most of my favorite character models. This figure by Djokson is a beautiful blend of elements set apart by a solid balance of color.
Tiny Tank [Instructions]
A big thanks to builders who like to share. I always learn so much when I build someone else’s model. This microscale tank by GolPlaysWithLego is full of great part usage and has a nice, minimal palette.
Orange Krate
I am always envious of Calin‘s skill with these little cars. The subtle details and tricky sculpting are so good that the pops of chrome are just icing on the cake.
Nexo Hovercar
I’m a bit in love with this retro-future car by Frost. The mix of Nexo colors and elements are perfect for the subject matter.
Rita’s Stormer
I’ve been running mech workshops. Which means I’ve been building mechs of my own. Since Bricks Cascade is just around the corner, I figured to build a racer mech for the annual collab. How about a motorcycle riding mech? Continue reading Rita’s Stormer
Day of the Living Teal
The story of teal (as a LEGO® color) is a storied one. When my friends over at New Elementary announced a contest based on that history, I couldn’t help but picture a teal apocalypse. Continue reading Day of the Living Teal
72003 Berserker Bomber
I don’t normally buy bad guy sets in the Nexo-Knights theme. I tend to be a magpie, drawn to bright colors, and their villains use drab color schemes. At the last PortLUG meeting, someone had this set and put a worm in my ear about a possible draft. So I decided to give it a try. Continue reading 72003 Berserker Bomber
