Come On In And Listen To Mr. Radio

Come On In And Listen To Mr. Radio

Mr. Radio is a Lego MOC built by Brohirrim. It was inspired and submitted into the Lego Ideas “Music to our ears!” contest. A challenge to build “anything and everything to do with music” and the top four winners get prizes, and maybe even a chance at a Product Review. This Lego radio is an old cabinet design, with built in speakers and even a surprise or two. The gold colored detailing and the cut out design for the speakers is a really great detail. Even the channel indicator in the center, being a Lego compass, works well. The big secret is the radio lab hidden inside. Where you can go tinker and broadcast all day and night. The front panel opens up and you can even see the backside of the speaker drivers.

A 28 Gun Black Seas Barracuda – A Lego Pirate Ship

A 28 Gun Black Seas Barracuda - A Lego Pirate Ship

The Black Seas Barracuda is perhaps the most famous Lego pirate ship to sail the brick seas. There is the original 1989 version, the 2002 re-release, and a mini version in 2018, and the ship wrecked version in 2020. Thats a lot of plunder. If you ever wondered if the ship could be even bigger and more detailed that would probably be this version. This Black Seas Barracuda is a “UCS Flagship” inspired Lego MOC created by Brick Ninja.

This version of the Black Seas Barracuda has a lot more room for an extra mast, and set of sails. Even the flags are have been updated. It is loaded with 28 cannons, which means this galleon can go up against even the best equipped Imperial ships. Even the row boat is brick built. This ship is bigger in every dimension. The whole ships is a bit wider. There are two levels below deck and even a larger captains cabin. The whole build also contains a lot less Lego studs exposed to the elements.

The Barracuda also comes with an elaborate display. A raised up base, showing the ocean waves, and the deadly sea life beneath. The waves in particular are extremely well done. There is also an option to display the ship firing cannons. The Lego explosions looks great, with smoke and fire propelling the cannon ball away from the ship. Even the Lego waves are reacting to the cannon fire.

Jump Out Of This Lego Fortnite Battle Bus & Instructions

This Lego Fortnite Battle Bus & Instructions

There is only one way to get to the Fortnite Island and that is to catch a ride on the Battle Bus. A crazy bus loaded up with people who are getting ready to hunt each other down. The only way off is to jump, and parachute/glide your way to the ground. This Lego Fortnite Battle Bus is the creation of Brick Vault. It is the iconic blue school bus. It features locked and booted wheels. With a huge rig holding a massive hot air balloon. This Lego MOC is a tricky design. There are a lot of Lego pieces up in that balloon. Which makes it hard to properly brace and hold it upright over the bus while still making it look like it can float. The bus looks great on its wheels, but it has also been designed to hang from above. That way you can recreate all those crazy characters jumping out (to their doom). In this case Minifigures in a bunny rabbit costume and a scuba suit. Brick Vault even offers instructions on how to build this yourself. There are over 2900 pieces so it will not be as quick as a round of Fortnite.

A Lego Cherry Martini and Blue Long Island Iced Tea Cocktails

A Lego Cherry Martini and Blue Long Island Iced Tea

Lego Cocktails are a thing. Check out this Cherry Martini and Blue Long Island Iced Tea built by bramant1. These two tiny drinks are made entirely out of Lego. The Cherry Martini features a cocktail umbrella made out of a Lego cockpit piece, specifically from a Star Wars Tie Fighter. The Long Island Iced Tea has a few garnishes, and a bright red straw made out of a Lego Lightsaber bar. The base is gold and shows off all that uneven color consistency, which works well here. If you have a few hundred clear rounds 1×1 plates, you too can make/pour your own drink.

Build Your Own Lego Panda Bear Buddy

Build Your Own Lego Panda Bear Buddy

Panda Bears eat bamboo almost exclusively. Although delicious, bamboo is not so healthy for these cute bears. Their bodies are not fully adapted to their vegetarian diet. It causes gas, and is very low in energy. They mostly sleep all day, and try to avoid walking too much. Maybe they need to switch it up. A little variety might help. This Lego “Panda Bear Buddy” has just that dilemma. Maybe it should try a carrot, maybe not? This Lego MOC is the creation of JK Brickworks, who “…decided to build a panda bear, because who doesn’t want a panda bear for company? They are super cute and seem so cuddly. I call her my Isolation Buddy (or Iso-Buddy for short).” They also put together very official instructions to build your own. So make sure to check those out.

The Teeny Tiny Treehouse, A Microscale Lego MOC

The Teeny Tiny Treehouse, A Microscale Lego MOC

This “Teeny Tiny Treehouse” is the creation of Andreas Lenander. This microscale build has a very unique way to create a tree. A bunch of Lego whips/lasso’s have been twisted up and stacked together to create the tree trunk, and tree limbs. A very interesting technique that makes a tree that fits into a tropical jungle, rather then an evergreen mountain tree. There just isn’t a lot of good Lego trees designed for jungle and swamp style trees. A lot of Lego leafs, and plant tops are used with the standard Lego tree branches to make a dense canopy. The treehouse itself is a bunch of the new rounded 1×2 technic plates. The house is a bit big for the tree, but kids wont mind.

A Close Shave With Shaun, Wallace & Gromit

A Close Shave With Shaun, Wallace & Gromit, Lego MOC

After a mishap in the kitchen with breakfast Wallace and Gromit are ready to wash windows and save the day. It’s been a busy day, meeting a very hungry sheep named Shaun. The robot dog Preston is up to no good and Wendolene will need to be saved. Good thing they have a fast motorcycle. This “A Close Shave” Lego MOC is built by grubaluk and hides a nice surprise. This Lego build is an actual working RC Motorcycle. I’m sure Gromit doesn’t mind, but he is sharing the sidecar with a the motor. The Lego RC motorcycle can go forward, and make turns. To help sell the illusion that Wallace is driving, a clever system of gears and strings attach his arms to the handlebars. The rest of the Lego work is great too. The studs being used to represent a rough wool sweater is a great detail. As are the Lego snakes, and wool hat used for details on Gromits face. They motorcycle looks good too! But is it fast enough for Lego Wallace and Gromit to save the day from the malfunctioning Preston?

It’s Time To Get A Lego Wristwatch

It's Time To Get A Lego Wristwatch

Lego has officially made a lot of watches. But, they are all made for the children’s market with bright loud colors. The watches are also large, probably to target a certain age range. So what would an adult Lego watch look like? Luis Peña has imagined just that with his Lego Wristwatch MOC. A very classic design. An analog watch with roman numerals, and a whole lot of gold. The use of the 1×2 grille pieces represents metal links surprisingly well. The use of the 2×2 clear round pieces is also a good solution to get everything connected. Then there is the large radar dish with the printed clock. A perfect way to finish this personal timepiece.

Lego Robots, Mechs, Mechas, Power Armors, and Exosuits are very popular. And, there are many many ways to build them. This Lego Baby Mecha is one of the smallest, and cutest of these.

The little Lego sausages for the cab is one of the best details. The whole thing is about 26 pieces. Milan Sekiz has put together a set of detailed and helpful instructions. So now you can build your own Lego Baby Mecha. You could probably change up the colors and details a bit and make your own baby battalion. They will need a lot of diapers though.

Mining For Lego Fuel With EXT01 And Nick

Mining For Lego Fuel With EXT01 And Nick

Nothing is more valuable than fuel. How else can you power your power suit? And, that drone needs a some too. These two are looking for rare proto fuel out on the ice. Mining for Lego fuel is a very explosive and dangerous job. The duo “EXT01 & Nick” is the creation of Devid VII. Nick is all suited up in a Minifigure scale power armor. As usual these Lego builds are very delicate. If you get a closer look at the suit, you can see that there are ski attachments. The joystick design, and clips for feet are also great. Nick will use those joysticks to pilot his accompanying drone named EXT01. A larger unmanned robot, built to do the heavy lifting. These two have great color choices, making them pop out of the white background. They just look so happy to be risking their lives mining for Lego fuel.
