I swear this is not going to be a week of holiday-themed polybags. Today’s set, 30584 Winter Holiday Train, and yesterday’s set just happened to be a holiday-themed coincidence. Just based on the name, I thought maybe this was a mini version of the old Winter Holiday Train creator set, 10254 Winter Holiday Train.

Like the old saying, “a horse of a different color,” this LEGO spaceship by Dwalin Forkbeard is quite unique. Not only is it fairly uncommon for spaceships to be brown, most spaceships don’t have wings such as these either. With all the ships out there, it’s refreshing to see one that is distinctly different. The brown spaceman provides the perfect opportunity to build a ship that suits him, and this does it so well. The angles, landing gear, and barrel booster are all pleasing to the eye. If you enjoy this model, check out other builds by Dwalin Forbeard. And while you’re at it, take a look at all of the space builds in our archives. The post A spaceship of a different color appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

This cute recreation of the Star Wars BD-1 built by David Roberts is full of character. I love how the “eyes” give it a playful and curious expression. The general configuration of shapes and lines are well done too. But my favorite part is that it’s quite posable and has a knob on the back to create an actual walking motion. If you like this model, stick around to see some other creations built by David Roberts. The post A curious and colorful walker appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

According to this spectacular LEGO creation by Andrés Herrera, maybe Planet of the Apes could be somewhere other than Earth. I love this spacewalking simian, with its clean lines and perfect posing. The instrument panel breaks up its clean look quite nicely without being too complex. And the rocky lunar turf beneath its feet provides the right atmosphere, or lack thereof. But my favorite part has got to be that monkey head inside the space helmet. Working within such a confined space can lead to challenges when trying to craft something as complex as a face. But Andres handles it like an absolute pro using plenty of studs in all kinds of directions. The post One small step for a monkey, one giant leap for apekind appeared first on The Brothers Brick.
