LEGO Castle sets have offered plenty of armor options for your medieval knight minifigs, from pauldrons to full plate, but while mail has been available on printed toro, the company hasn’t figured out how to deliver the supple weave of a true chainmail experience. Hamilton Whitney (@the_brick_hamster) solves the minifig chainmail problem by working with a really big head – one of the sorting bin variety!

Meredith Najewicz takes us back to Japan’s Edo era with a miniland-scale scene of meiko in Gion, Kyoto’s geisha district.

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.
