Read MoreDo you find your LEGO walls boring or visually ineffective? Well, we’ve got a treat for you! Andreas Lenander takes us on a tour of some exciting wall techniques, from simple to… well, even he doesn't know how it was done.
Read MoreIt's always amazing to me when a builder simulates soft or unusual textures. The first impression you get when you see this figure by builder Djokson is "feathers", and clearly that was the intention. It's not until you really look close at the elements that make up this figure's costume that you can visually break it down, but even knowing that when you step back it's still feathers.
It's been a while since we've seen something by the great Legonardo Davidy, but he's back and in fine form. Just look at all the rich details and texture in this classic gothic church! It's a study in mixing grays, studs, profile bricks and brackets to achieve a look that's very mottled, but pleasing to the eye. This kind of thing is easy to get wrong, and this is a perfect example of getting it right.
Whenever I see a build in this style for some reason celtic music or something similar the the Lord of the Rings soundtrack plays in my head. There's just something so wonderfully organic and appealing when it's done right, and this MOC by One More Brick is done right. I especially like the tapered foundation, it feels at once like it might tip over and also sit soundly forever.
Check out the walls of this MOC by Gideon_83. With a combination of color, profile bricks, mixed plate and construction, the effect is excellent. I also love an epic MOC that tells the story of a mundane task, in this case a wall repair project underway.
