Ah, the Vic Viper. A spaceship design that has seen so many LEGO iterations, and yet every single year we get new and fresh ones for Novvember. Aside from inspiring a slightly forced alliterative title, there’s a lot to love about Tommy Frost‘s take on the subject. For one, it’s a super clean design. Those curves and tiles coupled with the new trans-black windscreen are silky smooth – there’s not a stud to be seen. And there’s juuust enough greebling to keep the “sci” in sci-fi. Vic Vipers are inherently swooshable, but this one looks especially so. The post Vanadinite Vic Viper is a victory for void-voyaging vessels appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

You can tell it’s once again Brickscalibur season when Markus Rollbühler is showing off his enviable LEGO trophy-building skills. Until January 15th, builders will be submitting their best Castle-adjacent creations for a chance at a prize. This devilish warlock seen mid-scrying spell is the trophy for the Medieval Micro category, and it’s an astounding creation! Markus’s ability to make the plastic bricks appear to be flowing cloth is superb, as are all the accoutrements to the spellcaster like the candlesticks and pile of papers. But enough talk – I need to get building if I’m going to have a shot at taking this home! Check out the Brickscalibur website for all the categories and rules if you’re interested.

Sky islands have been a favorite subject for many a LEGO creation. And it follows from logic that when all the rocks are floating up in the air, then so, too, are all the precious metals and minerals contained therein. Builder John Snyder shows us what a mining operation might look like suspended amongst the clouds with this glorious bit of steampunk-ery. The outpost is abuzz with gears, vents, winches, and pipes. And located right at the center of the whole shebang is the furnace, about to smelt another load of aerially-harvested lode. It was no-doubt uncovered in one of the neighboring rocks using that hot air balloon/drill combo. It’s one of the most ingenious uses of the LEGO ornament bulb I’ve ever seen!

Alright, end-of-the-world enthusiasts and BrickNerd doomsday preppers, the end is near! Time’s running out faster than water in a post-apocalyptic desert. We’re counting down the final days of Nerdvember 2023, so channel your inner Mad Max, grab your bricks, and build a Nerdly that would make the Four Horsemen proud! Your Mission: Create a Survivor Nerdly Nerdly is a survivor, for whatever survival means to you. Think of Nerdly outsmarting zombies, or maybe they’re the last brick-bender in a world without the Avatar. Maybe Nerdly is the sole survivor of Y2K? Or perhaps they’re navigating a dystopian wasteland with nothing but a spork and a positive attitude. Maybe Nerdly survived a boring entry-level job? Or Thanksgiving with that one crazy aunt or uncle? Perhaps Nerdly survived a comically hanging piano on a street front while waltzing under a ladder when a black cat crossed in front of a broken mirror? Nedrly’s...
