Back in 2021, we featured an amazing set of monochrome habitats from Caz Mockett featuring every color brick available at the time. As LEGO continutes to introduce new colors, the potential spectrum of habitats has grown since then. This time builder Dana Knudson has accepted the nigh-impossible mission of creating a minifig habitat using only parts from a single LEGO color, this time hitting a total of 50 unique hues. Neon yellow and coral are some of the newly possible configurations that Dana includes. Monochrome habitats like these are such a fun way to explore the relationship between color and shape in LEGO’s vast catalog of elements. While some colors offer a vast array of options, other colors, can be a challenge to build with. Some, like sand red, can be quite expensive to source. But the results are spectacular. And seeing how different builders create their own little scene from...

Taking an official LEGO set and building something new with it has been a common activity ever since the launch of the modern building block, with many early sets featuring alternate models pictured on the back of the box. But Dicken Liu  has taken this to an entirely new level, and I will never look at a rabbit the same way again… The tan and light nougat color scheme perfectly matches the terrifying stage in the Xenomorph life cycle known as the facehugger. If you dare to look closer at the creature’s maw, you can even see a few small brown espresso handles serving as part of the creature’s squishy underbelly. UPDATE: Looking to build your own adorable(?) facehugger? Dicken shares the instructions on Instagram.

“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? Switch 2 launch title, please.   The post Star Fox 64 in microscale (Rumble Pak not included) appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Jake Forbes

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 outer ring looks industrial, with smokestacks, factories, and other gray structures. 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.

With a whopping 10 minifigures (and Thanos really pushing the term “mini”), the new LEGO Marvel 76323 Avengers: Endgame Final Battle is yet another recreation of Endgame‘s cinematic climax made in brick form. The set features plenty of Sling Ring portals large and small, an Ant-Man mech suit (not from the MCU), and some sparse rubble. But with only 621 pieces, this Marvel set is clearly all about the figs, which are Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Falcon, a Chitauri warrior, and bigfig Thanos. If you’re looking to pick up this superhero-laden scene, it’ll be available from LEGO stores beginning on May 1st, and will retail for US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99.

The Free City of Andérida is entirely fictional, but depicted here in LEGO, there’s such a rich sense of history that you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for a real town. Builder Vertaro takes inspiration from Venice and Lombard architecture, with classical columns and decorated stone walls. The terra cotta rooftops and sun-bleached stone strongly evoke old Italy. Arches in low relief lend the walls a sense of heightened craftsmanship. My favorite technique is the roof decorations made from clipping heart-shaped tiles in an undulating row, but the marble fountain decorated with frogs and minifig hands is also a showstopper. Vertaro built this scene of Aurelio’s reunion for the Age of the Unseated LEGO role-playing game, a collaborative storytelling experience told through LEGO creations. The builder tells the story of this scene here. This low-magic fantasy setting isn’t the only role-playing sandbox Vertaro builds in – we also highlighted the builder’s...

March is here, and with it comes a brand new wave of LEGO sets. While there’s a ton of sets that just hit store shelves across the board, we’ve got some common threads with Formula 1 builds appearing in the Speed Champions, Technic, and LEGO Icons themes.

Inspired by the incredible sci-fi art of Pascal Blanché, builder Luka presents a stylized LEGO scene that looks equally at home in a Love Death & Robots segment or an Eiffel 65 video. When it comes to LEGO elements, basic blue is not exactly a difficult color to come by so Luka had plenty to choose from, but achieving this build’s biomechanical look saw the application of elements as diverse as an Aircraft Fuselage Aft Section, a Playground Slide, and 3×3 Elbow Bricks (so far only found in LEGO Dreamzzz sets – appropriate!) Of the build process, Luka describes wanting “to play around with brick built shadows and color contrast,” which I think was executed beautifully, though Luka also mentions feeling a lack of a violet color that would have added to the already impressive gradients and light-play. Luka joined The LEGO Group as an official model designer at the end...
