It must have been divine inspiration. A stained-glass window at church set Mr Youm to considering what the image would look like in 3D, and the resulting build isn’t quite like anything we’ve ever seen before. Copious amounts of black tubing and bars have been shaped into an outline holding a heavnly host of transparent LEGO elements together, creating an angel who looks for all the world like a stained-glass come to live. It’s incredible enough that the silhouette of the angle was achieved, but when you dig in on the details – the natural bend of the fingers, the individual toes – it’s something that can only be called a miracle.

Luke (cathedralofbricks) has enriched the castle community this year with incredible builds that blend gothic detail and fairy tale romanticism on an epic scale. Last time, Luke tackled an iconic location from Middle Earth, but for his latest, Luke builds from imagination and tells the tale of a newly coronated king who has commissioned an “eternal spring” – a fountain that to the people’s eyes might as well be magic in how it harnesses the power of nature. The centerpiece fountain sits atop an impressive mosaic floor that blends SNOT techniques and tiles. One of Luke’s focuses for this model was arches, with different techniques used throughout the build. Technic treads work serve as roof tiles providing a nice contrast from the bley walls. Stained glass windows employ familiar techniques, enhanced by Luke’s knack for gothic details. From this high vantage, you can also appreciate the cracks in the steps below...

Few LEGO elements generate as much chaotic seasonal energy as the much-beloved turkey. It’s an icon of holiday builds, a staple of minifigure feasts, and (if we’re being honest) deeply strange. Why is it enormous? Why is it basically the size of a minifigure? And does it even connect to anything? DONT COOK ME TOO!!! Today we’re digging into the history of the LEGO turkey, exploring its evolution across two decades of molds, colors, and quirky incompatibilities… and yes, we’ll absolutely make something goofy along the way. The First Gobble Before the turkey joined our classic minifigure Thanksgiving tables, it strutted onto the scene in 1997—in a Scala set of all places. Set 3243 Kitchen introduced the very first turkey and the apple element, because Scala was quietly an absolute powerhouse of odd edible accessory molds. I’m getting hungry just lookin’ at it! For anyone unfamiliar with Scala, our friends on...

The Winter Village theme has grown into a popular and much beloved seasonal product family; with each year’s new releases eagerly awaited by LEGO fans. Winter Village has the special quality of being a “cross-over” theme in that it often incorporates subjects from other adjacent themes into a holiday context. My winter village layout circa 2023 (5 x 3 mils compatible baseplates 32x32) One need not look any further than this year’s release of the Star Wars 40806 Gingerbread AT-AT Walker for evidence of this crossover affinity! However, my interest in the Winter Village theme is, of course, focused on trains! My Winter village layout circa 2025 at an exhibition at the museum of natural history in Ottawa, Canada (6 x 3 mils compatible baseplates 32x32) For several years, our family has replaced a traditional Christmas tree for holiday decoration with a winter village-themed layout, complete with a customized holiday train...
