It’s Too Bad This Brilliant Lego Bookend Safe Is So Easy To Crack

There’s an unending list of things you can build with Lego, but that doesn’t always mean that you should. Case in point: a safe. As clever as this set of Lego bookends is, with a secret mechanism for popping the door on a hidden safe, it can pretty much be foiled with a three-foot fall…

A Lego Soviet missile launcher that would make Khrushchev weep

As far as long-range surface-to-air missile launchers go, the 2K11 Krug is pretty badass. This Lego 1:28 scale model krug is an incredibly well-detailed homage to Cold War military engineering. Initially designed in the late 1950s, the SA-4 Ganef/2K11 Krug went into service in 1964 and served as an iconic symbol of military innovation behind…

Build This Lego Leica M9-P Hermes and Save Yourself $49,962

Lego master builder Chris McVeigh has cooked up a playful alternative to Leica’s obscenely and pointlessly expensive $50,000 M9-P ‘Edition Hermès’. The Lego version doesn’t actually take photos, but you’ll also pay only $38 for a kit if you can’t scrounge all the parts needed to assemble it. Or, if your Lego stocks already have…

Beautifully-detailed build of the Nostromo ship from Alien

Ridley Scott’s 1979 horror masterpiece, Alien, featured one of the most beautiful movie spaceships of all time, the USCSS Nostromo. Unlike the massive battleships from space operas like Star Wars, the Nostromo was designed to look gritty and industrial, imbued with a cold, military aesthetic. These qualities are perfectly reflected in Mihe Stonee’s Lego creation.…

This Lego Fortress of Solitude Should Be a Set

We all want to be Superman, but sadly can’t be—so maybe the nearest we can get is building his pad out of Lego. At least that’s what Chris Melby thought when he constructed this sensational model of the Fortress of Solitude from scratch. It’s fantastic: he managed to do a wonderful job of recreating the…

The 130,000-piece decayed Victorian Lego home of my dreams

This impressive build by lego artist Mike Doyle is described as a “textural exploration of decay with a Victorian home engulfed in mud.” The mud has tore down walls and is pouring out over the porch. Architecturally, it’s quite stunning. The angled roofs, lines and symmetry provide a stark contrast to the carnage wrought from…

This neat Lego automaton can draw portraits

This is Legonardo, an automaton capable of drawing portraits. Obviously, it doesn’t have the complex clockwork used by automatons of old, like its Swiss counterpart made by Pierre Jacquet-Droz and Henri Maillardet in the 18th century. But it’s pretty neat anyway—albeit a bit creepy. Legonardo is made of Lego Technic bricks and powered by Lego…
