Summer Joust is in full swing, and while some builders might be focused on towers, turrets, or trebuchets, I’m throwing open the shutters to focus on something just as important—windows. Whether they’re casting soft sunlight into a medieval great hall or adding a little extra pane-ache to your walls, windows are often the unsung heroes of great LEGO architecture. In this round-up, I’ll focus mostly on examples of medieval/Tudor-style windows from around the LEGO community. I hope these examples provide you with some inspiration for your next MOC, whether it be for Summer Joust or just for fun. Brick-Built LEGO Windows Starting off with a bang, we have this beauty by Ralf Langer. Ralf always uses a variety of stunning techniques, not least of which when it comes to making windows. See if you can find at least five different windows in the build below. Source: Flickr The build below is...

A couple more LEGO Ideas projects have reached the 10,000 supporter goal in the past few days and it has considerably slowed down. We’re up to 92 projects in the Second 2025 Review Stage and it’s getting hard to keep up and see which projects have reached. This is due to LEGO Ideas not having a decent sorting function that shows the latest ones in order so you’ll have to scroll and check which ones you haven’t seen before.

Today’s article is brought to you by four builders: Nathan (woomy_world), Michael (crash.or.build), Stan (bigbrickstan), and Ben (anderson_builder), who had no idea what they were getting themselves into when they attended a mysterious frog-themed event at Brickworld… Introductions Ribbit to meet—I mean, it’s nice to meet you! We are four friends and MOC builders from the LEGO constraction community where we primarily build characters and creatures. As MOC builders, you might be wondering how we got ourselves tasked with writing a set review for BrickNerd. Well, it all started after the opening ceremonies of Brickworld Chicago 2025… View fullsize View fullsize A face only a collector could love. Game of Frogs A mysterious invitation… Having received a peculiar invite from Simon Liu (si_mocs) at the convention, we followed the flyer’s instructions and met at the advertised location for the annual BrickNerd Games. What are the BrickNerd Games, you ask? It's an...

It’s quite popular nowadays to build a cool minifigure to take a decent photo of it. And why not? Building minifigures is one of the most satisfying things that LEGO has to offer, and mixing and matching is just so much fun (which I’ve mentioned before in previous articles) But some builders take it up a notch like Vangelis Katsikaros did with one of his latest creations, by placing a minifigure in a setting that is amazingly well put together. Vangelis was so kind to take us through the process of making this cool upsidedown shot. Chatting with VangelisBricks Marco: Hello there! Jumping right in, how did you come up with the character in the photo? Do you have a favorite style of characters, as I can see you use a range, from City to Star Wars on your Instagram feed? Vangelis: I like building immersive worlds with LEGO minifigures, particularly...
