Bringing back the Ma.K

Every year, it seems like we have more and more monthly themes and building challenges in the LEGO community. Febrovery, SHIPtember, Frogust, and the new NovHENber, to name a few. Sometimes it seems like a trend has always been around and always will be… until it’s not. Ma.Ktober used to be a huge event in the community and one that TBB would cover excitedly each year, but for the last decade, the Ma.K is an endangered species. Gone, but not quite forgotten thanks to builders like Redbirch, who is bringing Ma.K back with the Wanze Box, a recon and espionage walker.

Quoth the raven, MORE GREEBLES!

LEGO might be more commonly associated with three-dimensional models, but in recent years, the medium has seen an explosion of creativity around mosaics. While mosaics can be flat and tile-based, many builders play with texture and layering in ways that add depth. Greeble Mosaics take that to the extreme, adding large vertical elements, or even Continue reading →

Dreaming up engineering marvels

Declaring that “An architect’s dream is an engineer’s nightmare”, Roman brings this premise to life in LEGO form. Appropriately for the subject, the construction itself features some incredible engineering and wonderful parts usage throughout all sections of the build. Some of my favorites are the Ninjago dragon head, hammers, binoculars, and visors that are used Continue reading →
