Fresh off her debut in the video game Star Wars Outlaws, Kay Vess and her commando droid associate ND-5 go LEGO courtesy of fan builder Fabian B. Building small poses big challenges, yet Fabian smuggles in a galaxy of adventure with just a few dozen parts. The “figbash” characters are spot on, but Kay’s speeder bike shines with clever techniques, especially those tiny handlebars made from box wrenches, hammers, and skeleton arms.

With its sleek anti-gravity racers, pounding EDM soundtrack, and unmatched sense of speed, the Wipeout series remains one of the UK’s most beloved video game exports. Sebastian Arts brings the adrenaline rush to LEGO with his eminently cool Feisar FX250-300 racing ship. Everything about the presentation is ace, from the stellar color blocking to the custom stickers to the smaller- scale racers on the stand to the slick graphic design that frames the models. Up close you can better appreciate the color blocking, largely accomplished with 2×2 triangle tiles, expertly maintained across curves in the fuselage and wings. And let’s take a moment to appreciate the stickers, designed by Sebastian based on Feisar team branding and in-fiction sponsors like Icom and Ignition, and printed by Brick Sticker Shop. I appreciate the inclusion of a few Monkey Kid stickers to keep the LEGO connection. A view from behind shows a bit of...

There’s two things I love in this world: great LEGO builds, and word-play. Philippe Moisan‘s latest build has both in spades! You might think it looks like an insect’s apartment – but in fact, this is a computer. Don’t believe me? Well for starters, there’s a literal computer – i.e. an object to compute or calculate – in form of an abacus. There’s a bunch of hard discs on the walls; a deck of (expansion) cards on the shelves; a mother (surf) board; some (integrated) chips; and of course the fan. But front and centre of it all is a problem. This PC’s got a bug! But as long as they still let you access The Brothers Brick, I think we can let them stay… The post Don’t bug me with your PC problems! appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

If you ever wondered what goes on inside your speakers, have I got a LEGO build for you! This retro speaker cut-away by Martin K. spills the secrets of making minifigure music. In this scene, a singer and drummer are in the studio recording their new hit single as a producer and his adorable assistant manage the mixing console. Martin has done a fantastic job with that drum kit. They’re difficult to design authentically at this scale, but Martin makes it look easy! The drummer’s colors mean they side with the Space Police over the dastardly Blacktron, while the singer has ties to the Futuron faction. All I know for sure is they’ll have the out of this world sound of a space oddity! The post A Bohemian Brick-sody Bash appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Simon Friesen
