Lavender fields forever
TBB alum and RebelLUG member Nannan Zhang can always be counted on for builds that mix innovative techniques with elegant presentation. The AFOL legend’s latest creation depicts a medieval farm where lavender is in bloom. Originally created as part of a collaborative castle build at Brickworld Chicago this past summer, Nannan created a back from to hold the andscape and added a new farmhouse.
There’s beauty in how the build breaks from the grid in a mix of angles. The field is skewed using 2×3 wedge plates. Meanwhile, the path uses simple landscaping for an asymmetrical look, which is amplified by the gently curving fences.
For the farmhouse, Nannan employs a slew of the newish D-snot paired with rounded tiles for a distinctive stone finish. Nannan says: “the technique is parts-intensive, time-consuming, and may even look busy, but I’m happy to bring something new to the many ways of building a Lego house.”
A peek inside the farmhouse gives a hint at how the D-snot is spread out. It’s also quite a cozy home for the lavender farmer!
Said farmer can currently be found picking lavender in the fieds.
To see the farm integrated in the original collab, RebelLUG shared a video from the event.
