Have you ever been deep in some fancy SNOT work and realized you weren’t able to keep track of all the half-plate, quarter-plate, or even eighth-plate values adding up? Or maybe you just really hate LEGO fractions and refuse to use them? Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of LDU. LDU Origins What is LDU you ask? Is that a weird LEGO Dimension Unit or something? Well kinda, but in reality, it claims its origin from the LEGO computer modeling program LDraw. The history of LDraw is better left to a different article, but know that it dates back to the 1990s. If you know anything about computers, you know they are good at math. But computers are also better at using whole integers, like 1, 42, and 1958, rather than any fractions or decimals like 3.14 or 2.71. With the standard units we are used to working with...

Can a LEGO set be rebuilt into something else entirely, perhaps a bit more timey-wimey and blue? Today, we will find out. I recently was able to build LEGO Ideas 21437 Red London Telephone Box. For a very quick review, it is a very satisfying build. From the options for the different types of telephones inside to the clever SNOT techniques and the inclusion of a light, it is a delight to build. It’s also a quicker build than some of the other sets from the LEGO Ideas range. Although red telephone boxes are less common in the modern world of mobile phones, they are an iconic element of the London landscape. It is still readily found in souvenirs and countless Instagram and tourist photos. For many people, the red telephone box symbolises London just as much as the Tower Bridge or Big Ben. If you love all things London, this...

I’ve been following Cole Blaq for some time now. Usually it’s something like a cool spaceship that catches my eye. And why wouldn’t it? Wicked, right?!? HXT-748 Hilbert Curve But then the other day, I see this; “Hilbert Brick” he calls it. Hmmm? Time to ask the Google! Hilbert Brick Here’s what I found. But I have to warn you: This may get nerdy. In fact, even if you immediately know the answer to the question: “What is the intermix ratio between matter and anti-matter in the warp core of a Galaxy Class Federation Starship?” (one to one, obviously), you still may find this nerdy. Here goes: The Hilbert curve (also known as the Hilbert space-filling curve) is a continuous fractal space-filling curve first described by the German mathematician David Hilbert in 1891, as a variant of the space-filling Peano curves discovered by Giuseppe Peano in 1890. - Wikipedia Okay, that’s...
