Builder h2brick has been going “bizonkers” with a series of LEGO Adventure Time creations on his Flickr page. And his recent rendition of Boom Boom Mountain is “tops blooby” in my book, for sure. For those not familiar with the series, this particular mountain is in quite a bit of distress, being forced to endlessly watch men roughhouse in a village down at its base. This has gone on for centuries, but hopefully Finn and Jake (also depicted here in micro-scale form) can help. It’ll take some doing, but maybe they can cease the avalanche of boulder-tears from this agonized alp. And be sure to check out all the other Adventure Time builds h2brick has made on his Flickr page, featuring other characters like Tree Trunks and Ricardio.

February is here again… man, how time flies. While most people think of Valentine’s Day, personally, I dream of the LEGO rovers that flood the internet during Febrovery (one of many building themed months in the LEGO fan community) Often taking inspiration from classic space themes of days gone by. Frost seems to have picked up a few of the recently released LEGO Creator 31148: Retro roller skate and put those new pink wheels to excellent use. The angled suspension puts the cockpit at an interesting angle, and the long articulated arm in back fits right in with the classic space look, perhaps from a long lost “Pink-tron” theme.

Today’s guest article comes from Blake Foster (Instagram/Flickr), a sci-fi builder from Brooklyn. Primarily a spacecraft builder, he took a look back at some of his earlier ships to see what he could learn… My first piece of advice, when asked by a new MOC builder, has long been to keep your old MOCs around until you can’t stand the sight of them—and then keep them around longer. The reason behind this seemingly masochistic practice is if a MOC goes in the scrap bin the moment the sight of it ceases to stimulate dopamine production, I would miss the opportunity to understand what specific shortcomings got under my skin. Knowing that I disliked an old MOC versus why I disliked it makes all the difference in not making the same mistakes again. My self-scrutiny is not all negative. As my list of nitpicks about a MOC grows, I will take note...
