It is quite normal to see a truck (or lorry, if your persuasion is British) on top of a train. A train on top of a truck, however, is unusual, but that makes it an interesting Lego build. Carrying trains is one of the specialities of British operator Allelys Heavy Haulage. The tractor is a German-built MAN TGX, specifically intended for heavy-duty use. The locomotive is a so-called Ivatt Class 2 2-6-0, built in 1952-53 in the UK. This particular example still serves with a heritage railway in the Scottish Highlands. This project started about half a year ago, when I spent some time looking at British trucks to add to my ever-growing collection and to display at events in the UK. I came across photographs of trucks operated by Allelys and first built one of their rigs carrying a transformer. What I really wanted, though, was a truck carrying a...

You should be watching Andor for the incredible writing and performances that bring the Star Wars universe to life with unmatched texture and nuance. But if you’re reading on a LEGO site, chances are you’re also scanning every scene for new ships and droids to inspire future MOCs or sets to anticipate next May the Fourth. Andor season 2 delivers on both cinema craft and spacecraft in its opening minutes with an incredible TIE Fighter heist, and I know I wasn’t alone in seeing that ship and saying, “that will make an incredible LEGO set!” Builder Michał Kozłowski, aka Edge of Bricks, was inspired by the first shots of the TIE Avenger in the Andor trailer and set to work making a remarkably screen-accurate version from 1,088 parts. Originally appearing in the PC game Star Wars: TIE Fighter,  the TIE Avenger is a cousin to the TIE Interceptor. A quality over...

Every once in a while, you see a build that’s so creative you don’t even want to say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” It’s the kind of build that just makes you take a deep breath and try to take in the limitless breadth of imagination captured in LEGO, where, if you’re anything like me, you quickly get drowned, swept away, and get that incurable itch to get building! That’s exactly the feeling I got when I stumbled on this build by shiu (Shiutoku). optical illusion II. First off, it was an instant follow for me, but then of course I popped in to check on his Flickr photostream only to discover it wasn’t just one optical illusion, but shiu was working on four such illusions for a short series! And so, of course, we sat down to talk to him about it. He was awesome enough to answer our...
