The never ending season of tricks and treats. Toil around with ghouls and ghosts, but make sure to enjoy the build the most!
Cheesy rhyme, buy seriously, this is a fantastic build. The much neglected orange is a superb addition to this creation. Very well thought out!
This marvelous creation by zgreenz on Brickshelf has too many rich details and techniques to pass up. There’s so many strokes of genius in such a concentrated space. The bridge and windows are two of my favorites.
Thanks for the tip Tyler!
Aaron Amatnieks (akama1_lego) and I were spending a productive day in a LEGO chatroom yesterday when he showed me a tree he’d been working on. I absolutely loved the concept and went off to build one for myself.
I’ve been thinking about gum trees a bit lately so had some ideas to try out showing Azz the pictures and getting his feedback at each stage. We then both went off building and not saying much until resurfacing with much improved gum trees. And gave ourselves a pat on the back.
Today I posted some more refinements and a breakdown and Azz just featured his latest in an amusing diorama (warning! may offend the easily offended). This sharing is one thing I love about the LEGO community. Bouncing ideas from one another to make it all better.
Thus ends my story.
A new realm of building. I’m really loving those porches and rock wall.
Mike Doyle came out of his dark ages only during this summer after a visit to LEGOLAND, and he built this?! I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of realism achieved using predominantly two colors. As the builder notes, this is “more of a textural study,” and a darn fine one too.
Tony Sava (SavaTheAggie) shows of his photography skills (and his excellent cathedral) with this brilliant showcase of the ‘grown-up’ LEGO town sets. I know we’ve blogged the cathedral before but this photo was too good to ignore.
I want to shop at this department store by t-brick, or simply stare in awe at those ground floor window frames.
I’ve never seen a Lego house more furnished than the one by Brixe63. Check out all the rooms including the workshop, cellar, laundry room, hobby room, kitchen, study, dining room, foyer, master bedroom, living room, kids’ bedroom, bathroom, and even a Lego room!
If you live in North America, then you’ve probably seen a few Chili’s Restaurants around town as noted by their unique logo with the chili pepper. Brian Lyles has captured the look of the restaurant and built a full interior complete with a bar and kitchen.
Many Cafe Corner style buildings begin to look the same after a while, but not this one by Barney Main (SlyOwl). I haven’t seen many dilapidated buildings, so it’s always refreshing to see something so old (as in run down). The bars on the windows are a great effect despite being simulated from tape. The mannequins inside are just creepy, and they probably come to life at night.
