Once in a while you may find yourself apart from your Lego collection for longer periods of time. For me, these are the times to experiment in one of the many digital Lego designer tools that are around! In this case I decided to try my hand at creating realistic rockwork in DBG (Dark Bluish…
Mine and Bartu’s Amazon collaboration is completed! And now you can finally hear the beautiful music composed and recorded by Bartu 🙂 Check out the video below! It’s been a really fun and intense project, lasting a full month 🙂 Hope you all have enjoyed it! Below are some pictures of the full diorama with…
The fourth and last installment of mine and Bartu’s Amazon collaboration – Regrowth 🙂 Of all four builds I found this to be the hardest. Not in terms of time and effort, but in striking a balance. The idea is to show nature reclaiming land that has been misused, showing that nature has the strength…
The third installment in mine and Bartu’s Amazon collaboration: Destruction. There are many threats to the Amazon forest, one of them being small illegal gold mines that both destroys and poisons the forest by destroying the soil and dumping mercury waste. This build portrays such a mine. This is a more somber theme than the…
The second theme of mine and Bartu’s Amazon collaboration is ‘The Rainforest’ 🙂 This was a fun build as I love to build trees and vegetation. I knew I wanted at least one very big tree, surrounded by some thinner and possibly shorter ones. This lead me to try out something I’ve not really tried,…
Over the past month I’ve been working on a collaboration, together with talented violinist, Bartu Elci-Ozsoy, portraying the Amazon rain-forest, in Lego and in music. Bartu would compose and record music in the spirit of the theme, while I would try to depict it in Lego. The project has been divided in 4 themes, each…
Made a series of 7 different microscale trees as a fun exercise and also to get myself back into building more again 🙂 Hope you like them! This first one utilises the stem with 3 leaves in conjunction with the plate with 3 leaves. I have not worked with the stem piece before, but got…
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…
