I was just minding my own business when LEGO builder Phillippe Moisan begged the question; is your inner clown light or dark? Then I was like- wait, I have an inner clown? I mean, I know I like to crack jokes and I even have a dark and brooding persona but now I’m worried I might have one of these creepy buggers inside me messing with my spleen or something. For some of us, Coulrophobia was a thing long before Stephen King penned It. Don’t get me started about John Wayne Gacy! Here’s the “light” version of this new creation seemingly inviting us to come and play. Then once the lights are out it’s- Holy sweet jeebus! With the help of some glow-in-the-dark parts and maybe some blacklight trickery the clown reveals its true dark intentions. Phillippe, if you haven’t already, you should reach out to The Clown Motel in Tonopah,...

Marble? Plaster? Jin Chen has chosen LEGO for this rugged bust. Titled La Marseillaise, the face is modeled on the revolutionary spirit of France as sculpted by François Rude on the Arc de Triomphe. The monochromatic palette with a single point of light showcases the wonderful depth of this carved brick build. Jin, who won LEGO Masters China in 2023, displayed the bust, along with his other incredible LEGO sculptures, at China’s AFOL fest last month where it won a trophy for best styling. Tragically, the delicate bust did not survive the journey home. The revolution is over.

The last time we featured some LEGO artwork by Jarek Książczyk, it prompted all sorts of questions. He recently built two more, in what we’re told is definitely not becoming a series. The only question I’m prompted to ask is – why not?! They’re beautiful! We start off with a piece simply titled ‘Watchers’. This is actually a remake, of sorts; the first time Jarek built those little fellows, they were photographed on their own. This is the realisation of his full vision, and that brick-built sunset looks glorious! However, we’re told that it was a real pain in the backside to work with! The parts for both the piece above and ‘The Last Piece’, below, are held in by only friction, gravity and the black frame. I really like the use of the Minecraft ‘eye’ plate for the skyscraper windows here. In fact, that focal point in the middle kind...

Builder Simulterious is something of an expert at capturing the many facets of Star Wars in LEGO as a contributor to Teal Squadron, the Factions RPG, and creator of immersive tributes to the films (like this recent recreation of the Ewok Village). Simulterious’ latest model depicts some illicit dealings in Port Steergard, a location only briefly seen in Season 2 of Andor. Created for the LEGO collaborative role-play Downfall, the scene shows a Falleen lord menacing some Imperials while guards in Tantel armor look on. Could it be Prince Xixor of Shadows of the Empire fame or another green-skinned tyrant? I guess we’ll find out when the next arc of Downfall begins. What’s most impressive about the build is the grimy authenticity of the port. While Star Wars has come to include plenty of shiny chrome ships, it was the gritty lived-in quality of Mos Eisley and the Millennium Falcon that...
