No stranger to The Brothers Brick, prolific Australian LEGO builder Ben Cossy seems to dabble in just about every building theme, turning out a string of quality creations both large and small. Of his latest, Ben says it “might actually be my favorite castle creation that I have made.” Understandably so! A closer look at his striking and retro-inspired Black Falcon’s Keep reveals why. Taking inspiration from his goals to “play around with things like angled roofs, more varied landscape” and also to incorporate a terrific pine tree design by fellow builder jimbagginslego, Ben paid special attention to how the structure is seated in the terrain. A full breakdown of the techniques used to achieve those roof angles, plus a peek at the Keep’s modest interior can be found on his YouTubechannel. My favorite features are less obvious though, including one you can’t even see. Using 1×2 Minifigure ingot “tiles” creates...

Modern LEGO houses are a great opportunity to decorate with furniture made with unexpected parts to get that sleek and simple style. Sarah Beyer is a connoisseur of creating delightful modern furniture and decor, like this cozy sitting area with a white vase made from a Technic pin, the stools topped with round inverted tiles, and the lamp made by facing two gear elements together with an offset.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, have you considered building a LEGO floral arrangement for your sweetie? The official Botanicals collection makes it easy. However, Khang Huynh takes it a step further with some stunning build techniques. At quick glance, this may appear to be “just” a well-appointed, well-photographed floral arrangement; so realistic you can hardly tell it’s LEGO. But upon close inspection, the flowers are comprised of red capes while repetitive use of green surfboards make up the leaves. Put it all together in a classy vase (including what seems to be a light brick, no less) and you have something quite lovely indeed.

While I may not be a huge fan of sports cars, I definitely know a quality LEGO model when I see one. So when I spied this glorious Toyota Supra by Mihail Rakovskiy, I knew I needed to share it! Clad in yellow, it’s an excellent representation of the fourth generation of this automotive marvel, the A80. And this model is fully functional, with opening doors, hood, and back hatch. I love all the detail included, both under the hood and in the main cabin. The best detail by far, though, is the undercarriage. With a fully-formed drive train and exhaust, this view from the bottom completes the grand tour of this car. The post A Supra-duper LEGO creation appeared first on The Brothers Brick.
