How many life-size LEGO cars exist, who builds them and why? Join BrickNerd as we look at these brick-built automotive marvels from simple recreations to stunning showstoppers.
Read MoreWhat’s the first thing you would do if you won LEGO Masters? If you answered, “Build a working life-size Volvo car out of thousands of LEGO pieces,” then you just might be David Gustafsson.
Read MoreTo honor the little helicopter that could, today we showcase the LEGO version of Ingenuity built by engineer Stephen Pakbaz, who worked on the actual Perseverance chassis. The real-life version has flown its last mission on Mars after a rotor blade was damaged on its 72nd interplanetary flight. It now stands as a monument to human creativity on the Red Planet.
Read MorePlastic isn’t generally thought of as appetizing… which makes these delicious-looking LEGO creations all the more impressive. Join us for a yummy square meal of tasty LEGO and lots of desserts!
Read MoreWhat do you do after landing one of your projects on Mars? Build an earth-bound version out of LEGO! NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Engineer Stephen Pakbaz has done just that, creating a working version of the interplanetary Ingenuity helicopter as well as instructions for a 1:3 scale model.
Read MoreKevin Wanner (Brick Ninja) has built a massive 1:1 scale LEGO Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII, and we got to see some work-in-progress photos and how much it weighs! Any guesses?
Read MoreWe interview builder Gerry Burrows and get a close-up look at his life-size LEGO mech that he can sit in and move himself, find out all the work that goes into making large-scale LEGO models, and discover his favorite milkshake flavor.
Read MoreWhen we were seeing the first photos of the cast of characters for The Force Awakens, I remember that there were some articles online about Poe Dameron and what the Aurebesh text on his flight vest said. It translated to "PULL TO INFLATE". Oh man was I excited. Don't get me wrong and I'm not being sarcastic. It's the little details like this that make the movies immersive to me.
Takamichi Irie has made one of his coolest models yet. This 1:1 scale Resistance pilot's helmet and life support unit belong to Poe Dameron, but the 1:1 scale LEGO Poe is nowhere to be found! The details on the helmet are spectacular. The Rebel logo is integrated into the spherical brickwork at an angle, the visor curves all the way around and looks like it actually protects the eyes, and the simple box shaped life support unit is just so smooth. I'm a sucker for smooth things made out of LEGO.
If there's one thing I get a kick out of seeing every time, it's gotta be 1:1 scale movie props recreated in LEGO bricks. This skin-tight Iron Man gauntlet by Milan Sekiz features plenty of detail crammed in a very limited space that also accommodates flexibility. Having said that, I now have two serious questions: May I please wear it for Halloween and does it run on a miniature arc reactor or simple CR1025 batteries?
