LEGO sets can make excellent souvenirs to take home from vacations, but how can LEGO prepare you for a trip and make that journey even more special? Australian AFOL Kristel Whitaker recently wrapped a European vacation where she documented her trip with Polaroids built from LEGO. Rather than visit first, build later, Kristel prepped her “photographs” before leaving Australia based on iconic locations, then took an on-location photograph to match. The results are so much fun! I love the use of monochrome for the LEGO versions, which makes them feel timeless but could also simplify the need to color-match exactly, like with this snapshot from Copenhagen’s Nyhavn. Kristel’s compositions also help keep scope manageable when the subject is enormous, like with this shot of the Colosseum that she managed to perfectly match on location. Throughout the year, Spanish AFOL Sergio Del Alamo Izquierdo has been using LEGO to document journeys closer...

Four years ago, LEGO released an intriguing Creator set that stood out for its uniqueness: 31122 Fish Tank. What a great idea! A way of bringing some aquatic LEGO into your home without all the yellow of their traditional underwater themes. Clearly, some bright spark at LEGO saw that set, and went: OK, but what if we made it bigger? That’s clearly just speculation on my part – but the end result is the same: 10366 Tropical Aquarium, which releases this November 13 for US $479.99 | CAN $599.99 | UK £399.99. Among its 4,151 pieces, it counts a large number in new or rare colours, and in good quantities at that. But there’s more to this set than just new re-colours! Take a dive into the tropical waters, and let’s check it out together. LEGO Icons 10366 Tropical Aquarium | 4,154 Pieces | Available November 13 | US $479.99 |...

When LEGO dropped this season’s winter village addition, 10361 Holiday Express Train, we were shocked to find a 3D-printed engine inside. Builder Owen (_brickbytes) used that one funny element as the seed for a full microscale scene. The little engine is followed by cars that mirror the scale and detail of the printed piece using system elements. The extra-thin quality of LEGO hinges works brilliantly both as tiny wheels and to give the coal hopper interesting shaping. Owen’s microscale chops extend beyond the centerpiece train. Using book covers as thatched rooftops is clever indeed, and of course, I’m always happy to see green antlers used for microscale foliage!
