Sometimes it’s the simplest things that are the most satisfying. Take this brilliant use of a white LEGO plant stem to denote champagne spray, for example. All in all, it’s a simple build and a simple composition but Erin Dempsey piece is so effective, you can pretty much hear the champagne cork pop. Sparkles behind the creation adds an unmistakable festive atmosphere. Sometimes, like in the case of this Nice Parts Usage (NPU), you got to find a reason to celebrate in your own way. Cheers!

And yet, if you ask hardcore F1 fans what the most technologically advanced car ever is, there’s a good chance they will plump for one from 1992.

The New Hashima Down Under collab was recently exhibited at Brickvention 2025 in Melbourne, Australia and consistently drew a crowd over the weekend. New hashima down under BrickNerd chatted to one of the coordinators, Joshua Morris, about his inspiration and challenges. Sue Ann: Hi there! What inspired you to build in the New Hashima standard? Joshua: Seeing the insane eighty+ person New Hashima collaboration from Brickworld Chicago 2023 certainly lit a spark within me. Attempting New Hashima was going to be a big task!

From there, New Hashima Down Under (NHDU) was born. With the wealth of resources and...
