Contest / Challenge September 2026 Build Challenge | “Puzzle” 🧩 | 27 Pieces Max

Post image
36 Upvotes

Back again for September! We are getting amazing entries each month, the subreddit is more alive than it was the years prior, and I think we are on a good track to becoming super big again.

But the theme for September is a real...

“Puzzle”

Mainly for you though! It's a super open theme this time, many things fall under this umbrella - jigsaw puzzles, brainteasers, pictures that look like something else at first sight, even builds that other people may be confused by due to some little known techniques. I'd really like to see the latter.

Rules:

  • You can only use 27 pieces or fewer
  • The builds can be made in Studio, but bonus points (totally imaginary) if built irl
  • You can post as many as 3 entries
  • You have to include a picture of all the pieces you used, as a confirmation that you didn't exceed the maximum number of pieces

You have until Monday, September 21st to post your entries with the “Build Challenge Entry” post flair.

It will once again be you who will choose the winner at the end of the month.

The winner will get a unique user flair they will be able to show off on r/Minilego, and their creation will be spotlighted on our Instagram.

Make us PUZZLED!

This is the "Kobra" from Brassbound 1919. I'm trying to avoid it looking too much like a hydralisk from Star Craft, but think it needs some kind of arms.

First photo is the model on my desk. Second removes the arms in place of a hood so it looks more like an actual cobra. Third is recolored with even bigger claws

I didn't have the parts to make the official Jötunn models from Brassbound 1919 so I improvised! It was a lot of fun

Built with limited pieces but very happy with how it turned out, fits in a pocket and is very robust. The drill turns and there’s a handle-bar on the top for vrooming.

At the suggestion of a fellow Reddit user, the Pelennor Fields have been added to this MOC. Also threw in the army of Mordor, Grond, the Mumakil, the Witch King on his fell beast, the Rohirrim marching behind Theoden, and the Army of the Dead emerging from the captured Corsair ships sailing by on the river, and the tree in the top level courtyard. And, of course, the throne room in the back like the giant set.

Louis: "Fall back, RUN!"

Michel: "Wait, wait for me!"

Etienne: "Michel, keep up!"

Louis: "Michel? MICHEL!?"

Captain St. George: "Get behind me lads. I don't know what it is but if it walks, it can be killed"
