When it comes to building a great LEGO narrative, the right signature element can really set the scene. Take this delightful flying submarine scene by Yang Wang for example. The tall, skinny, chibi-style fuselage with that perfectly rounded canopy creates a unique and fun vehicle. The working tilt rotors make this airship/submersible complete. Here in this closeup of the vehicle, we see more great details, like the pin-up girl commonly associated with fighter planes from World War 2, the clean yellow stripe, and the rotors swiveled down in flight mode. Here is another look at the detailed landing platform. The post Flying submarine – top gun of the sea appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Daniel

LEGO occasionally releases little teaser videos to announce their upcoming sets, and we started this week off with the Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts trailer. Today we’re getting the first look at the new Tron set from LEGO Ideas that we first announced back in November. We changed the algorithm on this one…need a Clu? Coming soon! @TronLegacy @LEGOIdeas #LEGOTron #LEGOIdeas #TronLegacy pic.twitter.com/rNrm8GkueJ — LEGO (@LEGO_Group) March 15, 2018 Let’s take a closer look at this very brief 5-second teaser video. We can see a minifigure in a cool black suit with blue highlights. We presume this is Sam, with a disc strapped to his back. This is a pretty cool scene, showing Sam jumping into the air while the light bike comes alive. Sadly, we suspect this feature won’t be available in the set. At last, we get a first look LEGO’s interpretation of Sam’s blue bike. The only look at Clu’s bike...

We’ve featured Sarah Beyer‘s tropical holiday home LEGO models in the past, but this latest creation takes her architectural style and moves it out of the jungle and onto the beach. This Tahiti-inspired holiday hut is a delight — a showcase of effective texturing, nice landscaping, and cool water effects. It’s worth diving-in to take a closer look at some of the details, like the path towards the veranda with its mix of stones and plants… And don’t miss the water, with layered transparent tiles creating a wonderful shoreline effect… The hut itself boasts a detailed interior, packed with Sarah’s trademark attention to detail, and — as ever — photographed brilliantly… In short, this is a lovely LEGO model — one I wish I could visit on holiday! Failing that, I’d settle for being able to see it “in the brick” and exploring all its details further. The post Dive into...

There is a certain Swedish style to these instructions for your own Fåctötum, a robot from IMEA (Intergalactic Manufactory of Electronics and Automata).  Luigi Priori has definitely found inspiration by eating a few Swedish meatballs and assembling some flat-pack home furniture.  While the instructions are for a cute little robot, half the fun of this build is enjoying the time and energy Luigi has put into designing the instructions themselves. You will require a few minifigure tools and a friend to help you to carry the box of parts — this is a two-minifigure lift.
