I have to apologize to you guys. In a sales post posted earlier this week, I made a comment that the two Spider-Man: Homecoming sets “look pretty accurate to the source material.” But...[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]Original link

Hoth accounts for less than 20 minutes of The Empire Strikes Back, yet it has left an indelible imprint on Star Wars fans, including Brick a Ben, Ferroh12 and Brick_Phil. Together, they have collaborated to create Winter is Hoth, and incredible diorama built over two years and using more than 200,000 LEGO elements. Finished just in time for its first appearance in October’s Brick a Dole show in France, the builders credit many building techniques and vehicle designs to other fans from around the world, showing that a bit of inspiration goes a long way. Unlike the official sets and even most fan models we see, the AT-ATs are properly scaled to minifigures. The Millenium Falcon is also appropriately sized, similar to the UCS Millennium Falcon (though this one is a custom creation based on Hannes Tscharner’s amazing design). Any fan of the films could spend hours pouring over all the incredible detail that...

Break out your magnifying glass for Patrick B‘s mountain village. This miniscule hamlet has a distinct architectural style, with black-clad longhouses of a faintly nordic design. From the palisade wall made of Technic pins to the longhouse butresses made of teeth and a crossbow, Patrick has put all manner of elements to good use. While the pickaxe as a tiny footbridge is quite clever, and the scraggly wizard’s tower made of robot hands looks appropriately sinister, my favorite details are definitely the covered wagons made with half-round 1×1 tiles. The grooved edges of the tiles fit perfectly as wagon bows under the grey bonnet, and the tile’s hollow underside gives the illusion of an interior.

Most of us grew up watching old Disney films. César Soares  says he wanted to live in the cottage in the woods when he watched Snow White as a kid. This fabulous LEGO representation of the Seven Dwarves’ cosy abode is based on a Thomas Kinkade depiction of the famous film. Cesar claims to have “rushed the build a bit” to make room for other projects, although I see no evidence the final result suffered for it. There is so much to love about this model — the cute little bridge, the shapely trees, and the lived-in feel of the cottage with its gently smoking chimney. Superb landscaping technique and a beautiful array of colourful flowers round this creation off perfectly. The post Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it’s home from work we go appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Inspiration can come from the most unexpected places. Take this bunny tank built by Dvd , for example — inspired by the Duplo logo and shown here making friends with its counterpart. The Duplo bricks beneath the treads are a nice touch. The red bunny wasn’t just the inspiration for the tank, it also fits snugly inside as its driver. Check out all the wonderful greebly details on the rear too… The post This bunny packs a powerful punch appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Daniel
