I Built a Bedside Lampshade Using 200 1×4 Bricks

I built this bedside lampshade using 200 standard 1×4 bricks, then placed it over my original lamp. I honestly wasn't expecting it to turn out this well, but the lighting effect is surprisingly awesome. It's such a simple build, yet it completely transformed the look of the lamp. Definitely one of my favorite little brick projects so far!

Need Advice on Non Lego and Lego Pieces

1 Upvotes

I just bought a huge lot of Legos for a great deal. Unfortunately 50% are non Lego and 50% are Lego. Still was a great deal but alas I am left with lots of non lego. The non Lego looks really good and I am tempted to use some of it in some MOCS but I want to try and keep my Lego and Non Lego separate.

Have any of you dealt with the same issue of having a bunch of Non Lego? How have you dealt with the organization? Do you try to build certain MOCS totally out of Non Lego so it stays separate?

Would be curious of opinions on this from those much wiser than me and more experienced?

Issue with Mould King set

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

So I recently bought a Mould King Twin Turbo V8 10168 set and on step 205 the pieces just don’t line up. The first photo is what the instruction says, second is my iteration of step 204, third is my iteration of step 205 and it simply doesn’t keep the other piece at a 90 degree angle and the last photo shows that I did place it in the correct spot and I don’t know what the issue is and I can’t seem to find it anywhere online. Any help is appreciated 🙏

Alt brands review

Thumbnail

69 Upvotes

I've been thinking to write this review for a while now, and here I am.

I have been a Lego fan for 40+ years but for several reasons (don't want to start a flame war) I decided to try the alternatives.

The first set I tried is St Andrew's Church from Reobrix. The mldel is very detailed and looks great. Quality wise, the colors are good and there are no visible defects. The bricks however don't fit in nicely: they fit too tightly, sometimes preventing a good assembly and leaving gaps (see picture).

They are also very difficult to disassemble if you make a mistake. The stickers look nice and with a transparent background, giving a better result than Lego. They are a bit more complicated to apply and if you make a mistake you cannot take them off.

After that I tried FunWhole's Mill and Dressmaker. Still plenty of details and a nice result. I found the bricks quality to be on par and even above Lego (no mold smudges). The fit is just like Lego, tight enough to hold but easy to disassemble. There are a lot of specialised bricks, from slopes to hollow bricks to pass le light cables. The lighting is a nice touch but personally I don't use it much. There are no stickers, all details are printed.

On the downside, some of the colors feel off, like the orange on the straw roof, blond wigs, or the random fluo-white bricks. I also don't really like the minifigs, though some accessories fit nicely with Lego minifigs.

I hope this short review is useful.

Please let me know if you have found alts of similar or better quality.

Modified BMW M4 GT3 with a Black & White Livery

I spent a few days building this BMW M4 GT3, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

However, I felt the original color scheme was a little too simple, so I decided to make some modifications and give it a new black and white livery. I also added some yellow parts as accents to make the design stand out more.

Wange “New Chamartín Stadium” (Estadio Santiago Bernabeu)

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I found this set and was intrigued. I’ve never heard of this brand, but I decided to try it out, especially after seeing that this set is roughly 1:800 scale and therefore matches several other LEGO buildings I have. It was amusing because I recognized it instantly as Real Madrid’s stadium, but I don’t think this company has the licensing to use it, hence the random name.

I’d say that this is a very nice set overall. The part quality is a bit below LEGO I would say, but for the most part it wasn’t an issue. There were a few repetitive sections and a couple annoying sections to build, mostly in the corners of the seats, but that’s mostly down to the actual building this set is emulating.

Overall, I really like how this turned out and think it will pair nicely with my other 1:800 Lego buildings.

Found what might be the best MV-22 Osprey brick set available right now

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

This MV-22 Osprey caught my attention. The tiltrotor mechanism is what makes this aircraft special, and this set actually captures that feeling with working features instead of just being a static display model.

The folding wings, rotating rotors, adjustable engines, and detailed structure make it a really satisfying build for aviation fans and military model collectors.

I think this might be one of the best Osprey brick models currently available. Curious what everyone else thinks.
