When I started building spaceships as a kid and teen, I assumed the only possible angles were the ones found on sloped bricks and wing plates. Seeing the smooth curves that builders like MWBricks can coax out of LEGO is nothing short of miraculous. The builder calls this flying beast the Yelets LOng RangeD Exploder, part of the Goznian Psycho Navy. With a raised cockpit and a recon jet docked and ready, the Yelets owns the unfriendly skies. MWBricks works with Studio and physical bricks when designing ships like the Yelets. Some of the tricks the builder has come up with to achieve the perfect angle are equal parts impressive and anxiety-inducing, using friction and rubber bands when stud connections aren’t enough. I can’t help but wonder what this ship would look like in cross-section. The post Out of this world aerospace engineering in LEGO appeared first on The Brothers Brick....

What are the advantages to being a pawn on a chessboard? Well, you’ll have a lot of friends who look just like you. According to this LEGO creation by Care Creations you can also play dress-up when you win a game and celebrate with a nice parade. These creative pawns have even disguised themselves as other chess pieces; we have a knight, a rook, a bishop and a queen. There is even a pawn painting his friend white to infiltrate the other team. Now that I think about it, this clever cosplay plan could be the reason for their victory. Check and mate! The post Welcome to the pawn parade appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

A LEGO builder we’ve admired for a long time has been going through some stuff lately. There’s been a bit of a name change, a bit of a gender change but on display is the same amazing talent we’ve always marveled. Introducing Jente Bijl, a happier builder who is emerging from dark times and this appears to be her debut LEGO creation since living as a woman. It’s called “Inner Me” and what a lovely build it is! The topsy-turvy buildings are all attached and are chock full of clever build techniques. They feature the colors of the transgender flag and also mimics a curvy female shape. It represents a new life, a new beginning for Jente, and she most assuredly has our love and support. We look forward whatever else she has in store for us.

If you are anything like me, you have an entire drawer full of dark gray LEGO ball plates, which were first introduced in the Mixels theme. well, it looks like NikiFilik does too, and they found the perfect use for them as tiny typewriter keys. But the inspiring parts usage doesn’t stop there. Minifigure helmets are used as ribbon spools, and the little vents capture the look perfectly.
