Wednesday Night Eye Candy

The design, the movement, the beast itself. A thing so foul that can also be so beautiful. I find the whole MOC mesmerising. The landscaping of the Dead Marshes, cleverly covering the mechanics, captures the scenery perfectly. The twisted branches, lit torches and bodies of the dead lying just below the water surface gives wonderfulContinue reading “Wednesday Night Eye Candy”

Vidiyo? More like VidiNO…

Whilst the rest of the world simply wants more bricks and more sets and more parts and more colours and more elements and a new goddamn castle range full of goats, LEGO are of the belief that what their customers really want is to make bizarre 60 second video clips to a selection of musicContinue reading “Vidiyo?

Super Special Sunday Sale (supposedly).

Having a quick peruse through the LEGO on Amazon and found their “Today’s Deals” filter, and I’ve gotta admit, there’s some hefty discounts on a few sets, so I figured I’d quickly write up a post with the best I could find. To start off, whatever this is. Technic? Sounds terrible. I think it’s aContinue reading “Super Special Sunday Sale (supposedly).”

Friday Night Eye Candy

I love browsing the net for great techniques in texture, structure and vegetation. This MOC by Ryan Howerter has it all. Those trees, note the LBG trunks Richie, the brickwork with the missing render, and the incredible ground texture. Inspirational! The group have been discussing colours this week with the Lego Periodic table. If youContinue reading “Friday Night Eye Candy”

LEGO Officially announce Ideas Medieval Blacksmith 21325!

If there is a theme that has been most long awaited, it is the Castle theme. So, we are super stoked that LEGO ideas are releasing the Medieval Blacksmith this February 1st. To be honest, when I saw this adaptation of the original design, I was devastated. I wanted to learn the techniques from theContinue reading “LEGO Officially announce Ideas Medieval Blacksmith 21325!”

PerthLUG January Buildapalooza

Hey Richie, I hear you ask, what is the buildapalooza? Well it’s pretty simple really! A night for adult fans of LEGO to chill out, build a set, socialise and maybe win a prize! Yea Richie, but when is it? The second Monday of EVERY month, so that means Monday 11th January! Oh, I see,Continue reading “PerthLUG January Buildapalooza”

First Look: Ideas Medieval Blacksmith

Thanks to a keen spotter over at Brickset, the first image of the new Ideas Medieval Blacksmith has been found on the UK Amazon page, as a thumbnail for the Ideas product category. My first impression? It’s been simplified a lot! There’s also no minifigs on display, or animals as were featured prominently in theContinue reading “First Look: Ideas Medieval Blacksmith”
