A few weeks ago, we got our first look at the new LEGO City Hospital (60204) which have been long-awaited for the theme. It has actually been about six years since we’ve gotten a set with a hospital with the Helicopter Rescue (4429). European online retailers have started to add more details and images of the summer 2018 Hospital (60204). We now know it will have 861 pieces and has a suggested retail price of €89.99. There are also some new blueprint images of the contents which is something new that LEGO is doing. The post LEGO City Hospital (60204) More Details and Images appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Ever since we gotten a first look at the upcoming The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks (70657), fans have been asking for more images of the set to see more details. Online retailers have been slowly uploading more images of the set for their product shots and there are some more angles as well as a piece count of 3,553. The rumored pricing is still around $300 which is a bit high and may turn fans away. The post The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks (70657) More Product Shots appeared first on The Brick Fan.

I guess there aren’t many orchids in space, but the ones out there would probably look like the StarOrkyD by F@bz. Its floral inspiration with thin, curved surfaces is highly visible, and the spaceship seems to have a bit of a Star Wars’ B-wing fighter look to it. There is a lot of detail to love here, from obvious things like the bulbous cockpit and nicely flowing curves, but there are some more subtle ones too. Light gray antenna pieces have their tips hidden within the bottom side of a brick to look like very thin tubes. The use of flag pieces at the transition into the large engine makes the shape flow very smoothly. The post Take time to smell the orchids appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

This classic diesel-electric locomotive dates to the 1940s, and generates a whopping 1,600 horsepower. The ALCO RS-2 seen here, #2099, was operated by the Sante Fe railway, and this model by Beat Felber is the spitting image on the real deal, right down the bold stripes, thanks to some careful decal application. It’s powered with Power Functions motors, and also has working headlights. The engine is a switcher, meant for shuffling cars around rather than taking cargo on long hauls across the country, and the builder has paired it with some lovely cars to show it off.

What I particularly love about building in microscale is that it makes you value every single piece and every spare stud of space. When a tiny 1×2 slope becomes a very huge section of the building’s roof you become very careful with planning your creation. And Marco De Bon‘s tiny quarter is a brilliant example of careful planning and very nice execution. Despite a very limited variety of pieces and colors, this neighbourhood looks both elegant and surprisingly diverse. My favourite part would be those small balconies of the white apartment building; the use ofplate 2 x 4 wedge‘s shape is just stunning.
