LEGO® techniques with reflected wedges: Escaping the grid

Posted by Admin

After the popularity of his first guest post for us, Arno Knobbe (@legoarno on Instagram) returns today to explain more core building techniques for sending your models off the rectilinear grid.

In my previous post, I discussed a classic LEGO® technique for building at an angle, the rectangle trick, and its relation to the "sugar grid", a concept recently introduced on the Brick Sculpt YouTube channel. In this article, we’ll look into another mainstay of LEGO building techniques, reflected wedges. I’ll investigate some parallels between this technique and the sugar grid as well.

LEGO® DUPLO® figures with hair: rare prototypes uncovered

Posted by Elspeth De Montes

LEGO® have tested many projects behind closed doors and usually we only see the results when the item makes it into production.  

We have a treat for you today,  as we have obtained a couple of rare prototype LEGO® DUPLO® figures with synthetic hair that escaped the test room in Billund. We are not certain, however, of the date these were explored.
