One more Vic Viper

Wondering what to do with those skis from the Series 2 collectible minifigure skier? Mainman used them to build this sleek Vic Viper. In the caption, he offers a few hints about the building techniques he used. Apparently, this piece plays an important part.

Here it is paired with a nano VV.

Spend, spend, spend

In the U.S., the weekend after Thanksgiving is considered the start of the Christmas shopping season. Many stores offer steep discounts to entice shoppers. LEGO retail stores offered discount scratch cards on Friday. I used my 10 percent off coupon to buy set 10197, the Fire Brigade

Could have saved even more if I had just bought the parts for this micro version, created by Alex Eylar.

Happy Thanksgiving

Max Braun flies to the rescue with this turkey-inspired Vic Viper.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I looked for a Thanksgiving micro-MOC, but to no avail. Instead, feast your eyes on Unhalfbricking's micropolis building.

Olympus

The Home of the Gods, perched atop Mt. Olympus, as created by Auric.

I'm one of those builders who starts by putting pieces together, but I admire those who plan out their work. Auric started with some concept sketches, which he includes in his photoset. Be sure to check them out.

I'm dreaming of a micro Christmas

Nannan has made a number of great Christmas ornaments. I'm hoping that over the next month he'll come up with a whole tree's worth of these.
