Colour us impressed by this colourless LEGO diorama

1 week ago | brothers-brick.com | Theo Spencer

Colour is an important facet of good LEGO builds. Yeah, that might sound like stating the obvious - a consistent palette will generally look nicer than a mish-mash of colours. But Syrdarian has graced us with a prime example. It's a nice build to start with: some cool terrain shaping, and the top of the bridge wall mirrors the hammers used in the archway. But most noticeably, it's all so drab! The grey background seems to have been chosen carefully for its resemblance to a grey winter sky.
Let me hear your engines roar! No, wait, not like that...

Alt builds seem to be having a real resurgence lately. In case you're not familiar, it simply involves taking a LEGO set, setting aside the instructions, and letting your imagination run wild. Sometimes, the result can be completely different to the original! Flickr builder has got their hands on 10330 McLaren MP4/4, turning a fossil fuel-powered race car into a bionic dinosaur! And since there some very nice printed elements in that set, this re-imagined dino has a distinctive racing feel to it.
Finding the unusual in everyday Japanese architecture

1 week ago | brothers-brick.com | Theo Spencer

We're used to seeing some weird and wonderful buildings from , from the quirky to the downright fantastical. So imagine my surprise when I found that their latest build is of a real house! This depicts a residence in Kitano Ijinkan - a historical district of Kobe, in Japan. Many of the buildings here are built with more non-Japanese flair than traditional influence.
Putting the 'rat' into pirate

1 week ago | brothers-brick.com | Theo Spencer

We often see collaborative projects in the LEGO community where different builders will all build within a similar theme. But it's not often that said collab is themed around a specific builder! Steven Howad () and co have undertaken a "special secret collab" (his words) to celebrate LEGO designer and AFOL community stalwart Markus Rollbühler.
Street art from the walls of London to the bricks of Denmark

1 week ago | brothers-brick.com | Theo Spencer

For such an inherently 3-dimensional medium, there's an impressive amount of 2-dimensional LEGO builds out there. Mathew Walls makes his TBB debut with one such build - and appropriately, it's an artwork that was famously drawn on walls! Perhaps Banksy's most famous artwork, Girl with Balloon was originally made with stencils and spray-paint - and you can't get much more 2D than a single layer of paint.
Massive power loader takes on enormous Xenomorph in LEGO sci-fi battle of the ages

2 weeks ago | brothers-brick.com | Theo Spencer

Alien creations appear to be like London buses. You wait ages for some great LEGO creations, and then two come along within a few days of each other! We featured a wonderful Miniland scale power loader earlier this week (along with an excellent title, I may add). But one-time LEGO Masters Australia winner Henry Pinto has upped the load-rating on the power loader, and then some! He's made a truly titanic take on Ellen Ripley's yellow ride. But that's not the only big build here.
You want the tooth? You can't handle the tooth!

2 weeks ago | brothers-brick.com | Theo Spencer

The internet's best Bionicle-based building bonanza, the Bio-Cup, got up and running last week with its preliminary rounds. Margit has busted out her LEGO constraction pieces and is getting in on the action, too, with a tooth fairy! I'm sure we can expect some bright colours, clever contouring with some armour elements, and... Oh. Well, I guess it's true that no-one's ever seen the tooth fairy, so who's to say this isn't what it looks like?
A demon amplifier? Now that's metal

2 weeks ago | brothers-brick.com | Theo Spencer

Remember in Spinal Tap when they turn up their amplifiers to 11? You might think it's just a funny gag, but rumour has it if you do that too many times you'll turn your amplifier into a mischievous demon. Bionicle builder Mischief has seen it, and rendered its likeness in LEGO bricks And what LEGO bricks: the gaping maw hiding the speaker is a goal net, and the design of the quarter-inch jacks using tyres is fantastic. What tricks will this amped-up poltergeist get up to?
LEGO Bricklink Designer Program Series 5

3 weeks ago | brothers-brick.com | Kyle Keller

Jonas Kramm is a LEGO builder that comes up frequently in the archives of the Brothers Brick. His revered style covers the gamut of subject matter, but has been focused on a series of creations featuring the Lilliputian denizens of a mushroom kingdom. One of our first forays into this theme (called "Tiny World of Wonders" by its creator) came in Series 2 of the Bricklink Designer Program with the Mushroom House.
LEGO Star Wars 75428 Battle Droid with STAP: studs not on STAP [Review]

3 weeks ago | brothers-brick.com | Theo Spencer

The Single Trooper Aerial Platform, probably isn't one of the first vehicles to come to mind when you hear "A long time ago in a galaxy far away," but by virtue of LEGO Star Wars debuting alongside The Phantom Menace blitz, the humble STAP was one of the first of the first to get the brick treatment. That pedigree aside, I think it's fair to say some were surprised by the vehicle's return in 75428 Battle Droid with STAP, which offers a large-scale version of that vehicle and its pilot.
