Here at BrickNerd, we like to occasionally look back at past creations from the community. . .Especially when it includes seeing your favorite troublemaking birds made out of LEGO.  To me, it seems that the popular Angry Birds has still remained so to this day.  Waaaaay back in 2012, Iain Heath created perfect little models for 3 of the iconic feathered beasts and 1 green ball of bacon.  Now all we need is a slingshot and some wooden planks...

The Mon Calamari are a curious lifeform, with a bipedal, humanoid body and a squid-like head. They also have a sixth sense for not only assessing the strength of nearby weapons, but also detecting traps. Very handy in dungeon raids or say, assaulting a giant space weapon with an armada. Another fine character build from builder Djokson. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

One of the best things about the LEGO community is that we can learn from one another.  Here at BrickNerd, we like to share techniques that we see from builders all around the world. . . This week we share a very different and more unique technique compared to the structural ones we featured previously.  Karf Oohlu shares a technique "scrap," but I happen to really like this design (in truth he just didn't want to order more parts).  Using the popular t-bars and light gray binoculars, Karf developed an easy to expand tank tread.  Though it may require hundreds of each element to make a complete tread like this, it could work to make some smaller versions.  A very interesting, but parts intensive technique! Tune in next week when we explore more possibilities with the bricks! /center>Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

Yes, it's a bit grisly, morbid and borderline distasteful, but this sculpture by builder timofey_tkachev is also compelling, evocative and strangely beautiful. And while my first reaction was "ooh", I have to admit the second thing I thought of was the demon from Sword and the Sorcerer (yeah, I'm a cheesy movie fan) emerging from his crypt. I don't know what that says about me. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

As Christian and Christian-influenced areas of the world celebrate Easter, we see many representations of Easter eggs and religious motives, with an occasional Easter bunny. This rabbit by accomplished animal builder Felix Jaensch is more loosely related to this subject, as it would be a great creation any time of the year, but the timing still pushes it a bit further. The rabbit is built in Felix’s signature style, a realistic but pixelated shape with some finer shaping on the head. The bright tan overall colour and white belly draw the eye and make for a very fluffy effect. I just want to cuddle it!
