This Lego train has some serious speed

This modified Horizon Express (10233) cooks along at serious speed over one of the biggest functioning Lego train bridges in existence. The 80,000 brick Moerdijk HSL bridge by Gerard Salden was transported to the huge Brick 2014 show and pleased the crowd again this year. This thing makes my Horizon Express look like its hauling…

I am bananas about this Lego deuce coupe

There is so much good in this small model by Calin. It is instantly recognizable as John Milner’s ’32 Deuce Coupe from American Graffiti. I giggled when I saw the banana that makes up the rear wheel arch and those white walls on the tires are a great build technique. I swear there is tire…

Hopscotch with the kids in this cute Lego scene

Michael Jasper is a pro at creating great Lego vignettes. This build, simply titled Hopscotch, is a wonderful example of SNOT (Studs Not On Top) building.

This mini Lego detective’s office completes the block

In 2012 Lego released a set called Mini Modulars (10230) which took the line of modular buildings and reduced them down to approximately 1:4 scale (Modular buildings are on a 32×32 stud base, mini-modulars are 8×8). Par016 has made a mini-modular of the Detective’s Office (10246), a set that hasn’t even been released yet. https://gizmodo.com/the-latest-lego-modular-building-feels-like-a-perfect-p-1661514112…

Check out this medieval Lego bobsled team

This wonderful winter scene by mrcp6d had to be shared. The build may not be huge but it is packed full of awesome little details and the minifigure placement is just perfection. Thankfully, it includes the international symbol of all things middle ages, the turkey leg.
