Building LEGO

I just posted a small MOC in the brutalist Architecture style along with detailed PDF instructions to build it at home. I'd love to hear some feedback about the model or the directions I've provided for download!

Discussion / Gallery I just came across this while looking at a couple additions towards the last Iron Builder event that ended in a regretful forfeit by one competitor. Below the image above are links to the main discussion topic with rules for entering and gallery on Flickr if you're curious. (*cough* *cough* brickcrazyhouse ) Anyway below are some good inspiration critters to check out.

I finally finished my build of the 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon yesterday. Such an Epic build! I highly recommend it to anyone out there to give this thing a go at least once if you get the opportunity. I have built plenty of large sets before including at least half a dozen UCS sets but nothing compared to this. As I was building it I really got the sense that the designers went all out and no expense was spared in creating it. All the little greebling parts were not skimped on at all and the rigid internal frame was superbly engineered to hold the large weight of the model. It took me many many hours, perhaps 50+ working off an on over the last 6 wee…

MASTODON! PTERODACTYL! TRICERATOPS! SABER-TOOTH TIGER! TYRANNOSAURUS!

I'm building a Palace Cinema set, and noticed one item is in the box but the wrong color. Is this worth it to report to Lego and ask for a replacement? It's nothing special just a 1x4 piece in the box is a brownish one and according to the manual it should be black.

Kinda long, but an excellent interview and good coverage of his city layout.

Hi All... I caught the Lego bug after my 6 year old spotted a Star Destroyer on sale at Target about 8 months ago that he thought was "really cool". Anyways that was the beginning of the end and I've unfortunately lost most of my self control and now have a house full of Legos, quite a few sealed sets in the basement, and probably a couple hundred pounds or more of assorted random legos partially organized lol. In the interim I've Bricklinked a 10179 and am now working my way through a Death Star II (also brinklinked). I'm now trying to get a bit more serious about organizing everything to cut down on the endless searching so on to my question... Have any of you put t…

Here is this channel's second display collectively showing off LEGO Town sets from 1985-1989. Additionally, here is the first layout with LEGO from 1964-1984.

Does anyone know if I can fit a 1x4x6 piece of glass in a 1x4x6 door frame? I want Huge windows for a larger modular. Not sure if only doors will work

Lego fan builds world's longest toy train circuit out of 93,000 bricks - and it takes more than three hours to go round http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2364154/Lego-fan-builds-worlds-longest-toy-train-circuit-93-000-bricks.html I am personally not a fan. I want a townscape...some buildings etc. I guess it's kinda cool b/c that thing is HUGE but, that just does not look fun to me.

Hello- Playing around with LDD and trying to come up with some alternatives for the 75192 back engine area. One avenue I'm exploring is connecting flat plates at an angle via a skeleton arm or space skeleton arm...however LDD will not let me connect the two. Any tips for getting around this?

I was searching for the best websites with ideas for building lol (League of Legends) heroes using Legos. I've found coolgamers.club, which features building heroes from Lego minifigure parts. Do you know any other such sites, and which one is the best for you?

I need help. I'm super indecisive and want to know what people think about this. The idea came to me so I photoshopped it today and have all the parts (minus a few hundred I would get by pick-a-bricking) in my bricklink carts and it'd be about $250 total to do. I love it...but I thrive on other's opinions...sooo...

Built Day 9 yesterday. Question to all, is this a Tractor or a Train? My first reaction was Train, but the wheels are bigger in the back, similar to a tractor? Also the steam is coming off the back and not out of the front like a steam locomotive?

This is a great article and video posted on the home page here at BP (from the Brick Blogger): http://thebrickblogger.com/2015/10/lego-africa-first-time-playing-with-lego/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thebrickblogger+(TheBrickBlogger) My five year-old son and I are going to send a box to this program. He is so "over-privileged" when it comes to the amount of Lego toys in our home. Watching this video makes him understand how lucky he is and it's amazing to me how much he wants to share and help kids who don't have Legos. I hope some of you will donate as well. This is guaranteed to give you lots of good karma for the upcoming holi…

Don't recall anyone else discussing this, so I apologize if this is old news. Has any seen the traveling LEGO Americana Roadshow that's currently on tour at various malls across America this year? It's currently at the Riverchase Galleria in Birmingham. I only had time to snap quick iPhone pics of 4/9 attractions, but I plan to go back Labor Day Weekend with my camera for a complete documentation.

Hey Everyone, I will be starting a live stream that is primarily focused on Lego builds. Since I build sets regularly I thought, "Why not share it with a community?". I am going to have my first stream on Twitch tomorrow night. I see a lot of build videos, but not too many that are actually live. There is a monthly calendar that I will keep updated on what I will build and when. Currently I am only planning 3 days a week and will be live later in the evening, I have a day job to maintain . So anyone that wants to come and hang out, head over to http://www.twitch.tv/silburned tomorrow at 8pm PDT. Thanks,

So this is new to me but perhaps others have tried it since it has been out since February. I picked up the new Technic 42022 Hot Rod today and on the box is a link to download the free app from iTunes. Just google "Lego Building Instructions app" for the link. I am using the ipad air version and IMO it is amazing. I think this is the only set available as of now but I would recommend trying it just to see what is coming our way No more need for PDF this is 3D rendering with 360 degree views and not sure of the term but you can see where the part you are working on will go in the outline of the finished model. It has a few neat features to try out as well. Now the…

Hi, I am interested in building a modular display with my Lego sets. I have recently purchased the Cinema Display and Parisian Restaurant. I will also add a few more soon including Detectives Office, Brick Bank, and possible MOCs. I would love to have a crane in my city as I build the difference sets. I have looked at the Lego Technic Crawler Crane 42042, and it looks amazing, but I am worried about the scale. Does anyone have experience with the size of this crane as it sits next to modulars or can anyone offer advice on another crane option that is available or hasn't shot up too far in price after retirement? Thank you! I read these forums daily and love to lear…

I am a LEGO addict for many years now. I am female, in my late 50's and love to build. My hubby bought me the Imperial Star Destroyer UCS for our 25th anniversary about 13 years ago. Our first adult date was the first Star Wars movie (We have known each other since we were babies). I was so excited. I like the BrickPicker site and am slowly getting my Brickfolio logged in. I do have a question though. I have an extensive collection of LEGO Creator Town sets and the numbers do not come up when I want to add them to my Brickfolio. Is there a problem in the system or just that they aren't worth much? I became a collector of these town sets back in March and have built them …
