To play football you need some proper grass! You can’t play on regular plates, because the studs make the ball bounce all over the place, and tiles are so flat you might as well be indoors 😛 The solution? Brickbuilt grass made from the finest 64647 – Minifig, Plume Feather Triple Compact / Flame /…
Covering two pieces in one build here: 15070 – Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Tooth Vertical in LBG 50950 – Slope, Curved 3 x 1 No Studs in DBG The roof technique is basically what I thought was interesting here. Then I figured that a stand-alone roof is not that exciting to look at,…
Next in line for my elements experimentation is: 2417 – Plant Leaves 6 x 5 in White Another pretty straight forward piece. Snow covered trees? Yes, please! I feel this color works wonderfully with this technique 🙂 What I like most is the possibility to layer green leaves under the white ones, like a real…
Receiving bricks is always an interesting experience. Lately I have received quite a few new bricks, both from orders where I have chosen the pieces, but also a number of random pieces which, in many cases, I have no idea what to do with. And even for some of the ordered elements I’m still not…
Introduced our older kids to the classic video game Tetris a while ago. One question that came up was ‘why doesn’t the blocks fall down when there is nothing under them?’ I explained that video games are not meant to be completely realistic, and if they were it would probably ruin the game completely. This…
I quite often hear my kids mispronounce the names of minifigures they find in our collection. Darth Vader seems especially prone to this phenomenon with multiple alternative pronounciations to his name. One permutation is ‘Darth Waiter’ (with an american accent where the ‘t’ sounds like ‘d’) which I find quite funny, so I went ahead…
This was sort of an exercise in using organic shapes for a building. Though complicated, the concave surfaces and the three pronged shape were manageable. Finishing up the top by fitting a roof was a whole different matter though, and I’m not actually very happy with how it turned out. Ok, but not great. Still,…
Hello everyone! In my previous tutorial I showed how to build a spruce out of lego. The trees build using that technique can have a varied size, but even at its smallest the trees will still be quite big. So what to do if you want a smaller tree? Have no fear! In this tutorial…
Hello everyone! This is a tutorial showing how to build a spruce with lego utilising weaving of leaf elements to get an organic, natural looking effect. I came up with this design while building a nature build for a competition, and have since had quite a few requests for a tutorial on this technique. So…
