One of the things I love about this ever expanding series by builder dib b is the fact that the Millennium Falcon is slightly different in every one (no really, look at the previous builds). This one is from my favorite scene in The Force Awakens, with Rey and Fin escaping Jakku aboard the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Those with a sticker aversion should probably keep scrolling, because this baby is stickeriffic. Builder Bricksonwheels spent four months recreating this ‘92 rally car classic, the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo driven by Didier Auriol.

I maybe strongly biased in that statement as I am a giant space geek, and have had connections to both the HST and ISS. What we’ve learned about our universe form Hubble over the last 29 years (launched on STS-31 on April 24, 1990) is mind blowing.

And this is a very high level pull from NASA.gov and Wikipedia . It was serviced five times by Space Shuttle crews, a very difficult task as Hubble orbits at...

Now I’m no painter, but I know that in art there exists the concept of still life which is all about an arrangement of inanimate objects and colors.

Life, as well as Lego, can become very chaotic and confusing, so sometimes you just need to calm yourself and stop to smell the roses. Original linkOriginal author: Andrew E

Generally speaking we don’t promote kits or professional endeavors here on BrickNerd, but it’s my blog and I can break any rule I want (try and do something about it, come at me bro, you want some of this? and other dismissive counterattacks). The fabulous Bruce Lowell is one of my first AFOL buddies, going way back to my first con in 2009, and this is his first set. While I haven’t watched any Arrested Development I’m a devout frozen banana fan, and you can be either or both with this excellent Frozen Banana Stand featuring custom printed elements and die cut stickers.
