Break out your magnifying glass for Patrick B‘s mountain village. This miniscule hamlet has a distinct architectural style, with black-clad longhouses of a faintly nordic design. From the palisade wall made of Technic pins to the longhouse butresses made of teeth and a crossbow, Patrick has put all manner of elements to good use. While the pickaxe as a tiny footbridge is quite clever, and the scraggly wizard’s tower made of robot hands looks appropriately sinister, my favorite details are definitely the covered wagons made with half-round 1×1 tiles. The grooved edges of the tiles fit perfectly as wagon bows under the grey bonnet, and the tile’s hollow underside gives the illusion of an interior.

Most of us grew up watching old Disney films. César Soares says he wanted to live in the cottage in the woods when he watched Snow White as a kid. This fabulous LEGO representation of the Seven Dwarves’ cosy abode is based on a Thomas Kinkade depiction of the famous film. Cesar claims to have “rushed the build a bit” to make room for other projects, although I see no evidence the final result suffered for it. There is so much to love about this model — the cute little bridge, the shapely trees, and the lived-in feel of the cottage with its gently smoking chimney. Superb landscaping technique and a beautiful array of colourful flowers round this creation off perfectly. The post Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it’s home from work we go appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Inspiration can come from the most unexpected places. Take this bunny tank built by Dvd , for example — inspired by the Duplo logo and shown here making friends with its counterpart. The Duplo bricks beneath the treads are a nice touch. The red bunny wasn’t just the inspiration for the tank, it also fits snugly inside as its driver. Check out all the wonderful greebly details on the rear too… The post This bunny packs a powerful punch appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Daniel

This is a nice set of LEGO furniture from gonkius — four modern chairs and a smart-looking table. The colour choices are great, and I love the use of the wood-grain printed tiles for the tabletop itself. The bowl of fruit adds a pleasing splash of colour, and the whole scene is well-captured with clean macro photography. But what really caught my eye was the use of ingot pieces for the parquet flooring — imaginative parts choice to create an interesting texture. Might be a bit expensive in real life though!
