Early last month in February, LEGO dropped an interesting soundtrack – an ASMR White Noise album made from LEGO bricks.  These white noise types of sounds are known to help listeners relax and get “in the zone” while focussing on other tasks. There’s now a video featuring the behind the scenes and the making of this unique placement by LEGO. We also share the full list of 12 streaming services that you can access the tracks from.

Rivendell – the mention of the name already evokes a feeling of home. A location in J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, it appears as a sanctuary, a last respite to characters who are on a journey into “the wilderness.” Builder Elias (Brickleas) built the Last Homely House in all its peaceful glory in microscale in just 100 LEGO parts. While the elven buildings are tiny among the large cliffs, they are instantly recognisable thanks to clever parts usage. I love the way Elias uses books as the angled roofs, and one stickered book is actually very fitting here. It is the Red Book of Westmarch, the book that Bilbo Baggins wrote during his retirement in Rivendell. The battle droid torso also works very well, since its skeletal nature represents the open-air feel of those buildings. I found the small waterfalls very impressive, using...

The team from LEGO shares a favourite video feature of ours by hearing directly from the designers involved in the creation of the LEGO Ideas 21326 Winnie The Pooh set. Featuring (L-R, image below) lead LEGO Model designer Ilia Gotlib, Simon Wilson (LEGO Element Designer), Felipe Silva Telles (LEGO Element Designer) and Ashwin Visser (LEGO Graphic Designer) Ilia tells is about the overall design approach, which intends to bring back memories of adults that grew up reading and watching Winnie the Pooh adventures and friendship. There’s also a neat new way that the trees are shaped using coral elements, something that’s not done before as a LEGO build technique in an official set Element designers Simon and Felipe talks about how the new minifigures molds come to life. It starts with a preliminary size and shape that’s either made with hand or computer and eventually scaled down to the actual minifigure...

Making alternate models from released LEGO sets is a challenging hobby, but Rogel Dela Fuente (RJ BrickBuilds)  takes things to an impressive extreme with their transformation of a 42100 Liebherr R 9800 Excavator into Johnny 5 of Short Circuit fame. This is more than just a static creation – RJ has made a Johnny 5 that is truly ALIVE. Engineered to make both arms swivel up and down while the neck turns from side to side while it’s pre-programmed to make spins and turns on the tracks. It’s remote-controlled via the LEGO Powered-Up App via a mobile device. RJ showcases this amazing, fully-motorized creation in a three-minute video. The post This alternate model is ALIVE – Johnny 5 made from a 42100 Liebherr R 9800 Excavator appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Chris Doyle
