Rockwork Island

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…

Amazon: Complete

Amazon: Regrowth

The fourth and last installment of mine and Bartu’s Amazon collaboration – Regrowth ๐Ÿ™‚ 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…

Amazon: Destruction

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…

Amazon: The Rainforest

Micro Trees

Coral Bleaching

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…

Panda House

The Copenhagen Zoo is getting pandas ๐Ÿ™‚ 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…
