You may know it as the rebel blockade runner, or perhaps as the original “smuggler ship” (yup, this was the original Millennium Falcon) and we’re going to build it live starting at 9am PST. Tune in to either our YouTube channel or head over to our sister site Nerds&Makers’ Twitch Channel.

See you then!!!

BrickNerd Live Build - Caterham Seven

I've only ever seen a Caterham Seven in the wild once, at a mall in Irvine CA, but I was instantly smitten. Of course I've seen Caterham cars on TopGear many time, but seeing it in person was different. It's an unusual beast, with a energy even when parked. Well now I get to build one, and you should join me while I do it. It's guaranteed 13% more exciting than watching bananas discolor in real-time. Building starts at 10am PST, see you then!

BrickNerd LiveBuild - Disney Castle - Part 2

It's time for another round of Disney magic! Yesterday we started building the Disney Castle, and over the course of about 5 hours we managed to get just over half way done. It's a magnificent set, full of wonderful details and interesting techniques.

Join us today as we finish it. Building starts at 9am PST, see you then!

Tomorrow is special. Not only is it a vacation day as we celebrate Memorial Day with our families (at least here in the US) but it's also my wife's birthday! We thought we'd have some fun and build series 5 Mixels tomorrow. We'll start building at 10am PST.

So come on by and watch some seriously exciting building (ok, it's not exciting) and wish Mrs. BrickNerd happy birthday! See you then.
