For each issue of BrickJournal Magazine, the BrickNerd team creates instructions for a LEGO mini-model to go with the theme of the cover story. For their recent issue about New Hashima, BrickNerd contributor Dan Ko created a speeder bike to populate the cyberpunk city. New Hashima Spinner Speeder For the New Hashima collab, I wasn’t able to participate and send any LEGO builds physically, so I wanted to create a design for something small that anyone could build and populate in their cubes to add life to the vibrant cyberpunk city. That’s when I came up with the spinner speeder idea: a bike template that could be changed into whatever color was needed. I packed the speeder with as much detail as I could in a small space, utilizing every stud and only XX number of pieces. One of my favorite parts of the build is using two 3679 turntable plates...

The purpose of this article is to tell the extraordinary story of a world record-breaking LEGO brick mosaic. The project, led by Mickaël Eymann alias mick_batto, was set up with the aim of restoring a boat dear to his heart, which requires substantial funds, and for which it was necessary to mobilize as many people as possible. You can see an overview of the project ion this video: We chatted with Mick in France. Meet Mick Sam: Hi Mick, our French audience probably already knows you (in the blue shirt above) for your participation in LEGO Masters France Season 3 as a finalist with Fabien (red shirt).

I’m quite a fan of the minifig scale, with a nice diorama representing my...

The LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale (21348) was announced a few days ago and it was confirmed that if you purchase the set from April 1-7, you can get the 168 piece limited edition Mimic Dice Box (5008325/6510865) as a gift with purchase set. The set comes in the yellow box packaging which may suggest that it’ll be a fairly limited release, especially for you online shoppers. I wouldn’t be too surprised if it sells out within the first few days of going live. Inside the box, you get the instruction booklet sleeved up front with a ziplock bag of the parts behind. The finished build was simple and pretty quick with the Mimic measuring 10 studs wide by 6 studs deep. The mouth is connnected on a hinge on the back and it has four printed eyes. There’s enough room inside the box to fit in a...

My screwdriver and multi tool screwdriver Look no further than the handy, dandy multitool screwdriver to help satisfy your curiosity. With its help, we can dive deep into disassembling some LEGO parts that are held together with screws to see what kind of official LEGO parts may be trapped inside. Ninjago’s Rings The first part I knew I had to include is a Ninjago Spinner. This part may be the most popular one to take apart because of the unique metal ring on the inside. The ring is so well known, in fact, that it has its own BrickLink listing. It has been used as a counterweight, wheels, engines, and body parts on robots. this BUild by Redverse uses both the...
