Hot on the heels of one great immersive Arabic LEGO scene, comes another courtesy of Ids de Jong. Although made on a slightly smaller scale, it shares some similarities in scope, giving us a view into the courtyards that are so typical of this style of architecture. The arch pieces framing the entrance immediately set the tone for where we are, and the minarets and towers in the background employ forced perspective to give the impression that we’re somewhere in a bustling city. And that’s all great – but what my eye is drawn to is that mosaic at the front. It uses some clever LEGO geometry: the ridges on those inverted slopes are a half-plate thick, which combines with two more plates to give the exact width of the tiles on the corners!

Using only seven colors of LEGO 1×1 round plate, mosaic master Ethen T captures the very essence of Timothée Chalamet’s turn as Muad’Dib. With filt-plug equipped and the background of Arrakis displayed in orange and yellow, this singular image goes a long way toward conveying the emotion of Dune: Part Two. And the way that Ethen manages to create the collar of the stillsuit using only grayscale is impressive at this scale and in this medium.

Today's article focuses on a project by Stephle59 based on the Zombillenium comic strip from Arthur De Pins. I've known Stephane personally for nearly ten years, and I've followed his project closely since the very beginning. It took a lot of time and thought to find out how to write about this vast project, which goes much further than a simple creation—it's a crazy adventure. During a joint exhibition in Strasbourg called “Let's Go,” we discussed the details of this project. A Chat With The Builder Sam: Hi Steph. Can you introduce yourself to our BrickNerd readers? Steph: I'm a 43-year-old MOCeur, married with three children. I first got into Danish bricks when I was four thanks to my parents, especially my mum who still plays them. I had a 'dark age' in my teens and fell back into it in 2007 when my wife gave me a medieval chess set...
