When LEGO goth queen Pernilla Johansson (legonillan) shows up with her sigfig, you know things are about to get spooky! The Swedish builder found a lot to love about the recent Beauty and the Beast Castle, but the lilac and gold simply would not do for Pernilla’s coterie of vampires and ghouls. In Extreme Makeover: LEGO Home Edition fashion, Pernilla strips the castle down to the studs and paints it black. Of course, a project like this is too big for one minifig, so legonillan invites a few sigfig friends to help out with the remodel. Even some hitchhiking ghosts get into the spirit of things. Pernilla matches the original castle nearly brick-for-brick, while adding additional flourishes like bats and spooky foliage. It’s a great example of the joy that comes from treating official sets as a jumping off point for creativity. The post LEGO goth queen reimagines Beauty and the...

Greebles are famously the extraneous bits added to the outside of a model to add texture. Builder Aidan Webb dares to ask, what if a model were nothing but greebles? The Wasteland Strider is inspired by the mechanical wildlife of the Horizon games, with Aidan exploring what a creature might look like if its rider was constantly scavenging for parts to keep the mount functional. A work-in-progress look at the build process reveals how precariously assembled the Strider is – a barely contained skeleton of clips and minifig arms. As fragile as the beast appears, Aidan managed to wrangle it into a rideable state for a desert nomad and their supplies. It’s an incredible amount of detail for such a compact creature. The post Scavenging the wastelands for greebles appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Jake Forbes (TBB Managing Editor)

It’s Habitat Week at BrickNerd! Join us as we trace how LEGO minifigure habitats began, how they’ve evolved, and where they’re headed next. All week we’ll share smart tips, build techniques, and creative strategies to help you get the most from your habitat stack. Playing with Color Perhaps it’s because so many of us have been locked up in our own little cubes, but LEGO “Minifigure Habitats” have been in the zeitgeist a lot lately. My social media has been full of amazing, creative CMF (Collectible Minifigures) block-mocs this past year. The first LEGO CMF series was released in 2010, and as early as that year, Eurobricks sponsored contests using them in “habitat” vignettes. To the best of our nerd-hivemind research, though, the modern, diagonal, stackable formula for “minifig habitats” came to be in 2016. Pangeran Panda shared his pattern that is based on the design used in the 2016 Olympic...
