Sarah Beyer’s title for this new LEGO creation; Blueberry Container House enticed me enough to research it just a bit further. Once I did, I was treated to some breathtaking spaces both inside and out. Sarah tells us that this recycled home is primarily made of two shipping containers connected by a spiral staircase. While it’s safe to assume she’s a bit of an architectural dynamo, this is her first attempt at a container home. The solar cells indicate that this home is energy efficient. The structure’s oddly stacked juxtaposition makes for some exciting areas; particularly the nestled walled sitting area among the trees and the angular deck beside the top floor. This view better illustrates the aforementioned deck. I can see myself spending the afternoon out there with a drawing tablet or maybe even a good book about container homes. The rear view highlights how the top container sits askew...

It’s not everyday that you see a tribute to the video game Genshin Impact in LEGO form. But that’s not the only thing that’s exceptional about this microscale Jade Chamber by builder Quy Chau. For instance, those roofs tiled in pearl gold are quite fetching! Sharp angles aplenty adorn the structure in the clouds, from the central octagonal tower to the hexadecagonal stone base it rests upon. The trans-light blue pond that rings the main tower is a great splash of color, with all its accompanying greenery. While I’ve never played the game, this model certainly makes me want to give it a try! The post From above Liyue, the LEGO Jade Chamber beckons appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

While autumn is in-uh-bloom, which means torrential downpours here in the Pacific Northwest, LEGO extraordinaire Dan Ko takes us on a summer vacation. He’s competing in the infamous Iron Builder competition and we’re all as pleased as Hawaiian Punch, by golly! He’s used four of the requisite red Technic Rotor Blades to construct the neat beach chair. I suppose that alone would have pleased the Iron Builder Gods but he’s gone the extra mile to depict a sunny beach scene in a travel case. I can feel the warm sand getting into all my nether bits! With Iron Builder, there’s no telling what our esteemed builders will do! Here’s to hoping Dan Ko will take us on vacation again soon.

Today’s BrickNerd article features a guest post about BrickCon 2023 by Joe Meno of BrickJournal Magazine. Hi BrickNerd readers! I'm Joe Meno, the editor of BrickJournal Magazine. One of my duties for the magazine is to look for builders to feature in issues and to sell copies of the magazine and subscriptions. The primary way I do this is by being a vendor at LEGO events and conventions. You might have seen me in a booth at BrickFair VA or at BrickCon. This year, though, I brought a special guest to BrickCon, one of Walt Disney’s legendary Imagineers. I’ll let her introduce herself: My name is Terri Hardin and I am a Disney Imagineer. I have a Patreon page called Terri’s Tribe, where I met Joe Meno and learned about LEGO. I love learning new things and when Joe and Naomi Takeuchi began to share with me LEGO in the 21st...
