Dr. Hisoto and his trusty pal, Jun, are on their way up the mountain. Amongst the cherry blossoms, they are searching for the herbs the doctor needs to make medicine. This lovely build is the work of Jme Wheeler. We have featured Jme’s builds several times, and they are all packed with character and detail. This is a wonderful addition to his repertoire. The cute little cart is loaded down with bags, filled with the precious herbs that are essential in Dr. Hisoto’s medicine. It’s difficult to find what I like best about this build, because it’s such a nice little package. The landscape is neat and beautiful, and it’s loaded with detail without being overly cluttered. In addition, the rockwork and foliage are a wonderful marriage. I also love the spring with the cascading waterfall and cherry blossom petals. A fun twist in this tale is, of course, Jun. He...

While the piece count for this Dragon Ball Z creation by Moko might not numerically match Vegeta’s most famous quote, our enthusiasm level for this LEGO rendition of his Great Ape form certainly does. The face is a knockout, with a great use of minifigure arms to define the eyes and a strategic use of anti-studs to add texture to the ears and nostrils. The rest of the model is full of subtly impressive techniques, like the dinosaur tails to add definition to the shoulder’s edges, the tail made out of tires, and the inverted and slightly angled pectorals. Be sure to visit Moko’s blog for additional photos of this phenomenal creation. The post It’s over 9,000! appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: David Pickett

I love how LEGO bricks can be used to express and build subjects other than the usual way we see 3-dimensional stacks of bricks. Sheo pulls this off very well with a portrait entitled “Evelyn.” When I first had a look at this, it reminded me of an art form that’s so very familiar yet I still can’t put my finger on it — elegant and polished with clever use of tiny accessories or parts that seem to just blend in like that cutlass forming the bridge of her nose. While the portrait of Evelyn enchants, the Trickster featured below hints at an evil, mysterious character. The post The art of painting with bricks appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

I was finally able to buy one of these sets from overseas at a lower-than-ripoff price! This is my first time getting hands-on with the new Power Functions 2.0 or "Powered Up!" electronics system, which uses Bluetooth instead of infrared for communication and integrates receiver & speed controller circuits right into a battery box that's no larger than the one it replaces.Video: LEGO City 2018 Cargo Train review! 60198Original linkOriginal author: theJANG
