“Corneria, fourth planet of the Lylat system.” For gamers who grew up with the N64, those words are enough to set your imagination spinning with polygonal starfighters doing barrel rolls. Builder Matteson Pino is far from the only person to name Star Fox 64 their favorite game, but he’s surely the first to pay tribute with a LEGO microscale diorama atop a brick-built N64 cartridge. It’s a briliant concept, depicting the game world spilling out of the physical media that stored it. The Great Fox carrier ship looks great, as do the chibi arwings, but it’s the pixelated terrain of Corneria that most draws me in. Now can Nintendo please bring Fox and co back to consoles?

Building a circular model using LEGO is a challenge in itself, but Plastic Pauper took on that challenge and built a microscale city with not just one ring, but three, creating nested neighborhoods that all have a specific purpose and vibe.

The middle ring is composed of many smaller buildings and greenery, while the central section sports tall, sterile, and modern structures fit for the city’s wealthy elite. And what futuristic city would be complete without flying cars? The post This futuristic microscale LEGO city runs rings around modern cities appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

February may have been the shortest month of the year, but there was no shortage of great LEGO content from around the globe! Here at BrickNerd we celebrated FebRovery by looking back at some classic rovers, provided instructions for building your own mini rovers, and dreamt of designing the ultimate rover digitally where parts and budget limits don’t exist. We looked at what it took to design a Dutch Villa worthy of the LEGO House Masterpiece Gallery, a futuristic cyberpunk city down under, and analyzed the shifting landscape of LEGO architecture. We took a hard look at the real-world inspiration for the Twilight House, explored taking the French Cafe design to new heights, and found love in the air with the Love sculpture. We even put several structural beam designs to the test and explored a phenomenal working camera slide design, and so much more! In fact, we’ve published so many...

Today’s BrickNerd article comes from guest contributor Dale Harris (HarrisBricks), a builder from Australia who loves nothing more than exploring and reimagining the beloved themes of his childhood. 40506 LEGO Fabuland Tribute As a self-professed “Fabufan,” I had the opportunity on behalf of BrickNerd to look at set 40506 LEGO Fabuland Tribute, the next exclusive LEGO House set developed by LEGO Senior Designer Markus Rollbühler from the original design of LEGO House Master Builder Stuart Harris.
