Although they’re known primarily as miners, Dwalin Forkbeard has higher aspirations for the dwarves near the Eastern Watcher. They’re about to mingle with the clouds, thanks to their airship the Skyscraper. The orcs won’t know what’s coming their way, as they watch low for their dwarven enemies, only to be pelted from above with bombs. Obviously, the large stone tower immediately draws the eye, and it’s impressively built. But the airship steals the show, with that wonderful dwarven masthead. For more of Dawlin’s impressive creations, make sure to dig into our archives. The post These dwarves are done digging appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Norm Harper

Latte art? Tired. LEGO art in the coffee shop? Wired! Especially when the LEGO art in question is as rich and filled with color and genius parts usage like this mural from Vietnamese AFOL and Masterpiece Gallery alum Khang Huynh, in collaboration with building partner Kỷ Duy Phong. Created for Starbucks Vietnam, the artwork was created over four months and measures 1×2 meters.  The work incorporates Vietnamese imagery into an ornate depiction of the coffeemaker’s mermaid mascot. At first glance, the mural might look flat, but up close, you can see how it bursts from the wall. 2×1 round tiles let the artists shape the flower petals into organic curves. Creative parts usage abounds, like the use of Pteranodon wings for a green gradient in the lily pads. The most galaxy-brain NPU, however, is found in the hands. Those life-like finger tips? Patrick Star heads from the SpongeBob theme! The post...

Few things bring together the LEGO community like Collectible Minifigs. Whether you’re looking for new elements, chasing nostalgia, or hunting for a friend to sit on your desk, CMF have something for everyone. Series 28, released this month, is all about animal costumes (you can read our review here). Even with this narrow theme, the figures are inspiring a zoo’s worth of creative builds. Whether you’re a habitat fan or a mecha mechanic, there’s plenty to appreciate in this menagerie of minifigs! Candy Bricks created several impressive vignettes for the different animal figs. Our favorite features the frog amongst toadstools. Candy expands on the included bubble wand with a forest full of big bubbles. Thorben (tee_baum_bricks) takes the frog fig in a very different direction, swapping bubbles for a very big sword! The CMF body gets repurposed as bigfig hands for this absolute brute of an amphibian. (You can see more...

This little LEGO creation built by Carter Witz comes with a Bible verse from Matthew 7:24-27. It states, and I’m paraphrasing here, something about how a wise builder, hearing the Lord’s word, builds on rock and has the steady foundation that leads a life that withstands the inevitable trials while the fool, who doesn’t obey the Lord, builds on sand and whose life results in total collapse when challenges come. This must me one of the many, many verses I missed after they threw me out of Sunday school for coloring Jesus’ hair green. True story, bro! While my path has diverged greatly, Carter’s faith in the Lord has never wavered and we never wavered in our appreciation for Carter’s talents. Reflect on our Carter Witz archives to see what I mean.
