This wonderfully detailed corner modular by o0ger features a dentist’s office as well as a sweet shop, so you can get your ice cream and get your teeth cleaned all in one stop. There are so many great design choices to call out here. Each building has a well-integrated color scheme, from the lime green plus yellow-green stripes on the sweet shop to the brown and rust-red of the dentist’s office. Both buildings also feature some excellent architectural details, especially around the windows and doors. The details of the dentist office roof window are particularly interesting. Another great part usage is the yellow-orange dome paired with the dark gray arch for the sweet shop awnings. And don’t miss the scooter parked behind the tree.

With the original Tomb Raider video game released back in 1996 and yet another movie this year, it’s clear that there’s a lot of mileage in the Lara Croft story. The mix of adventure, exotic locations and history also makes Tomb Raider great inspiration for LEGO creations. Kevin Wanner has created a Tomb Raider diorama that has some powered features — a cascading waterfall and a perilously angled B-25 that moves as Lara Croft crosses. The negative space lettering is nicely constructed and there’s a lot of character built into the overgrown crash site. You can see Lara Croft crossing on the wing of a wrecked B-25 Mitchell bomber, with the cascading waterfall below. Brick Ninja has also included a short video showing the moving features. https://www.brothers-brick.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/40844225671_720p.mp4 The post Lara Croft lives dangerously in this amazing, animated Tomb Raider LEGO diorama [Video] appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Until the final season of Game of Thrones is over, every dragon is going to remind of Drogon, Rhaegal or Viserion, but this one hits the mark more than most. Creations which give a sense of life in motion are always exceptional, and this one is simply on fire! Inspired by a dragon that was seen in a piece of artwork, mrxsto99‘s model captures a heroic knight on a steed battling against the odds with a larger-than-life dragon. With a wingspan of 70 inches and a similar length from head to tail, this dragon is a force to be reckoned with. And at 30 inches high, the beast is more than enough warn off any hero wannabe. The only two parts I can tell that are non-LEGO made are the wing webs and the lighting effects, which really take this model to the next level. The builder tells us he created...

Before there was Bionicle, there were the Throwbots, or Slizers, as they were marketed in some parts of the world. While not as popular as their successors from Metru Nui, the theme introduced many elements that would later find use in Bionicle. Many people still remember them fondly, and now a few of those nostalgic fans have teamed up to give them a modern facelift. We highlighted Turbo a few days ago, but now eight of the original sets have been taken on by as many builders (with four more slated to come soon), and each of them brings their own style to the table, as well as their ideas for what the original could have been. Some stray wildly from the source material, and others are more faithful. 8523: Blaster by Djokson 8501: Ski by Kevin Huxtable 8502: Turbo by Anthony Wilson 8505: Amazon by Mitch 8506: Granite by Cameron 8507: Electro by -Disty- 8520: Millennium Slizer by Red 8521: Flare by Prince Galidor The post The LEGO Throwbots get an upgrade...

Microscale castles are ever-present and always pleasant to look at, but often the width of LEGO bricks works best for minifig-scaled castle walls, making ones built at smaller scales too blocky. Aaron Newman has gone around this problem by using panels and the bottom sides of bricks as walls proportionate to the scale. The build has a good sense of clutter naturally present in medieval castles, but my favourite part is the fortifications on the towers; the creation is made for a competition that stipulates using silver goblet pieces in unique ways, but all I can see is the brilliant use of upturned 2×2 round bricks!
