While he’s certainly no Radagast the Brown, this nature-loving LEGO wizard by greenarj is clearly best friends with all the birds and beasts of the land. I adore all the plant pieces integrated into the enchanter’s cloak and hat, sporting nearly every color of green in the brick palette. His gnarled dark gray staff is an exceptional conglomeration of tubing, bars, clips, and minifig utensils. But let’s not forget all the effort put into this verdant vagabond’s entourage. The owl, bird, squirrel, fox, and bunny are all wonderful pieces on their own. The sheer number of ingenious connections and part uses among these five tiny beasties is astounding, but my favorite has got to be the tuft of fur on the fox’s chest made from Master Wu’s beard.

Ah, the Well of Souls. A location so synonymous with Indiana Jones, it’s one of the few that has been represented more than once in an official LEGO set. OK, it’ only been twice so far, but still, they were both neat. Unfortunately, they’ve both been outdone somewhat by Cube Brick‘s brilliant cross-sectional diorama! They’ve raided their collection of snakes to immortalise one of the most iconic scenes in the franchise. The two statues of Anubis are a real highlight of this build. What’s the plural of Anubis? Anubises? Anubae? Whatever it is, the swords for a reed skirt look great. The wheels and tyres on the limbs, the windscreen pieces for shoulders and pecs, and the gold highlights all combine for a very convincing carved stone look. But this build’s real party trick only becomes apparent in the dark. In the film, everyone’s favourite archaeologist uses fire to disperse the...

Today’s guest article comes from Casey McCoy, an AFOL from the Chicago-land area and an active MOC builder. You can find him online on Flickr and Instagram. BrickNerd sent him 42639 Andrea’s Modern Mansion to review and remix. In part one, Casey looked into the past of LEGO Friends and discovered what they are doing in the present by building Andrea’s Modern Mansion. Now we’re going to extrapolate the cyberpunk future of Friends by revisiting New Hashima. The Cyberpunk Future of LEGO Friends THE REMIX So here at BrickNerd, we’re no strangers to remixing sets. Like the alternate designs on the back of the boxes of classic sets of yore, the best part about LEGO is getting inspired and making something your own. So when offered Andrea’s Modern Mansion, BrickNerd’s Nerd-in-Chief Dave Schecik approached me with an idea: Doesn’t 42639 look like it’s near-future? Could it be New Hashima Cyberpunk? He...
