With House of the Dragon igniting TV screens, there’s no better time for a return to Westeros—and this amazing Game of Thrones build by Martin Studio will show you the whole darn realm. (In LEGO, obviously.) While the diorama itself exhibits more great details than the Iron Throne has pointy edges, the star of the show is the lovingly recreated map of Westeros, which Cersei shows off to her brother/lover Jaime while Maester Qyburn looks on. Eagle-eyed fans will be quick to pick out the wealth of lore-accurate sites—from the bleak North bounded on the top by the wastes beyond the Wall to the Gods Eye, the Fingers, and the deserts of Dorne. Go ahead, see what else you can spot—if nothing else, it’ll give you something to do while you wait for The Winds of Winter.

Microscale building is a great way to flex your creative part usage, and this lovely church by Jens Ohrndorf is no exception. The seed part in this model is a trunk lid from the Fabuland theme (the red roof of the main church) to match the red tower roof. Printed window frames from Harry Potter sets make great stained-glass windows, but one of my favorite details is the green minifigure hair pieces used for bushes.

Ganondorf is back to menace the kingdom of Hyrule in this LEGO creation by mSquid_! The evil sorcerer is clad in the finest clothes and armor LEGO has to offer, so let’s take a look. His boots are made from mudguards and look how nicely the 1×1 corner tiles fit in the gap! His shinguards are barrels only available from one Indiana Jones set from 2009. Further up, Ganondorf is wearing a single handcuff as a collar, and a sail from a pirate ship for a cape. Within the sculpting of Ganondorf’s head, I’m amazed at how all the parts came together to perfectly recreate the villain’s face. Ganondorf’s lower jaw is from a collectable orc minifigure, while mSquid_ borrowed a technique from this year’s Droideka set: using backwards lipstick pieces for Ganondorf’s red eyes. From head-to-toe, mSquid_’s Ganondorf strikes an imposing figure. This build was an entry in this year’s...

While unlikely as an official license, the cartoonishly bellicose world of Warhammer is a perfect fit for  LEGO creations. Both feature bright colors, over-the-top characters, a devoted fanbase, and hand-crafted universes in miniature. Our favorite Warhammer Fantasy builder Dwalin Forkbeard usually stans for Team Dwarf, but for his latest diorama Dwalin moves to Greenskin pastures with a Night Goblin outpost he calls Hooda-Rock. Dwalin grounds the base in a lovely bit of rockwork sculpted in the shape of a goblin’s pointy hood, with an orange path to provide visual interest. A peppering of mushrooms and details like the hanging bones and tasty rats make up for the lack of greenery. Both setting and minifig accessorizing perfectly capture the brutish and nasty charm of the Greenskins. In addition to Night Goblins, the rock is home to Squigs, the surly cave-dwelling beasts raised as war mounts. Both the full-grown Squig’s red dome head...
