Amazon: Complete

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…

Amazon: The River

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…

Micro Trees

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…

Slope Tree Tutorial – Part II: Canopy

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…

Slope Tree Tutorial – Part I: Trunk

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…

Slope Tree

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…

Travis Tree Tutorial

A tutorial showing how to make a tree made mostly out of travis bricks and 1×1 plates in your colour of choice (I went with dark green). It’s quite simple but still has a rather organic shape to it. There is a bit of a pattern in it, but this can be fixed by alternating…

Green Travis Tree

Put some colour on my travis tree, to see if it could become something more useful. Not so sure about the result actually, but it could probably fit in with other micro trees in a forest or something 🙂

Travis Tree

Tried out building in single colour today, with a tree made mostly out of travis bricks. This is a pretty tiny build, but I can imagine working in a single colour becomes very different when building on a larger scale.

Palm Tree Tutorial

A short tutorial showing how palm trees can be built. This is by no means my design, or anything new for that matter. But I had to make a tutorial for it for a tree building workshop I held recently, so I figured I might as well post it 🙂 The design is rather commonplace…
