These mosaic sculptures by ZiO Chao have so much depth, they’re bordering on bas-relief. We’ve shared ZiO Chao’s landmark sculptures before, and he is back at it again and is ready to take us on a trip around the world with a series of 3D mosaics. Let’s start with Stonehenge, the oldest structure on the list, having been constructed between approximately 3100 and 1950 BC. Thanks to Chao’s use of forced perspective, this one does a great job of capturing the curvature of the prehistoric stone circle. Now it’s time to hop in the car and drive 141 km east to London, home of the world-famous clock tower known as Big Ben. Believe it or not, the structure’s official name is Elizabeth Tower, while Big Ben is the nickname for the clock tower’s bell. If the official LEGO Big Ben set is not in your budget, Chao’s version makes for a nice alternative....

Hot on the heels of a LEGO Brickheadz-styled Back To The Future DeLorean, we get another “vehicle” for the blocky figures — a chunky chibi Hulkbuster Armour designed to fit Brickheadz Iron Man. This digital creation by ORION_brick is nicely done, with suitably beefy proportions and LEGO’s own Iron Man nestling comfortably inside. We don’t feature a lot of digital renders on the Brothers Brick, generally preferring our LEGO models to be constructed in actual bricks. However, this is a cool idea and, unlike many digital creations, it doesn’t employ too many non-existent part/colour combinations.

Mediteranean aesthetic, both architectural and otherwise, is not very often portrayed in LEGO, but when it is, builders tend to capture it very well. Mouseketeer111 has done one of these renditions as a modular-style building, and I can say from first-hand experience that this scene reproduces the spirit of an old Italian town perfectly. There are some simple elements that are important to conjure up the Mediterranean feeling, namely a barrel-tiled roof and Italian flags, but other details like bright colours, overgrown walls and the ice cream shop are what make this creation stand out. My favourite part, however, is the balcony. Not only is it well built, but it is photographed so that the shade looks even more inviting!

Back in 2016, we discussed all the various travel-trailers, camper-vans, and motor-homes LEGO released through the years (see: LEGO Travel-Trailers & Camper-Vans). We went all the way back to the 1970s, when the first LEGO recreational vehicles appeared, then looked through the ’80s and the ’90s, finally finishing in 2016. As we mentioned in that […]Original linkOriginal author: admin
