Coral bleaching is an effect of our seas heating up. As temperatures rise, corals expel the algae living inside them, leaving them completely white. Though this does not actually kill the corals, it weakens them and many of the corals never recover. This build was my entry to LEGO IDEAS contest ‘HELP DECORATE THE LEGO…
The Copenhagen Zoo is getting pandas 🙂 In a collaboration between the Zoo and the Copenhagen LEGO Store I was asked to build a model of the home built for the pandas, called the Panda House, to be exhibited in the LEGO Store. This build is now complete and I can share about what I’ve…
Another take on a flower in a barrel. This time utilising the new leaf, which I find extremely useful 🙂
This is the second tutorial out of two showcasing the techniques used to build my Slope Tree. In this we will cover how the tree foliage technique works and will build upon the previous tutorial where we constructed the trunk of the tree. So if you’d like to build the whole tree but haven’t built…
This is the first tutorial out of two showcasing the techniques used to build my Slope Tree. In this we will cover how to make the trunk and then the tree foliage technique will be covered in the next tutorial. The two techniques can be used together or standalone, and either can easily be replaced…
A small, self-contained and easy to make flower. Came up with this design a while ago, and though it’s rather simple I’ve found that it can be quite useful in many different situations, either as a standalone in a well-maintained garden, or a few of these bunched together more haphazardly in a bigger nature scene.…
Built this as a milestone build for my Instagram account. Was just going to make something simple, but I got carried away with it as it was a lot of fun to build 🙂
Built another of these as part of making a tutorial for it 🙂 I developed the foliage for this quite a while ago, but the trunk is different, and I thought it’d be interesting to cover a new type of trunk in the tutorial. The tutorial itself is still in progress but should be out…
I know most of my techniques come with some serious investment requirements, but not so today! Because all you actually need is just bamboo 🙂 It’s pretty cheap, and can often be found in Pick-a-Brick walls. So this is a technique that hopefully anyone can afford 🙂 The drawback, of course, is the quality. There…
Got a number of these puppys from a box last year, and though my daughter loves to use them I’ve never really found any use for them. But gotta try something new once in a while 🙂
An attempt to get a bit of a wilder look from the plume feathers, by utilising the 6 pronged plant piece. At this point it hardly qualifies as grass anymore and is more of a heavy underbrush in a light forest. This could probably also be used to represent bushes like rhododendron or similar if…
A flower in a half-barrel. Managed to put together a small build amidst holidays and family time 🙂 The focus was to get natural looking leaves looking as if they were growing from the base of the flower stem.
