I really liked the new Lost in Space reboot series on Netflix. Especially the vehicles and overall production design. So a few weeks ago I made instructions for the awesome new Charriot which plays a key role in a few episodes of the show. And to my surprise, the video got really popular and even got noticed by one of the main stars of the show Mina Sundwall at her twitter account! https://youtu.be/ydfRO4fbi00 I had only one week to design the Chariot as I usually do with all my MOCs so it was a pity that I couldn't include the…

In my article Designing a Supercar I. - Understanding the Basics, I talked about the basic knowledge every LEGO builder should know. And now we will finally get specific! I will show you step by step process how I had built the Lamborghini Veneno and the Bugatti Veyron in minifig scale. So let's get started! Get the Scale Right First of all, you should ask yourself how big the perfect minifig scale car should be? The answer isn't that simple and everybody has a different opinion on it. Older LEGO sets contained 4-wide cars and nowadays the standard is shifting to…

In my recent article Useful Building Techniques, we talked about some general tips and tricks that can be handy when you are designing your own LEGO creations. But this time I will be more specific and show you some actual building techniques that I use when I design minifig scale supercars.

I will use my two latest supercar builds - the Lamborghini Veneno and…

But I would also think to myself that that's exactly what I want to see on the big screen! And here we are in 2018 and that's exactly what Ready Player One is all about! And all of that happened thanks to one video game nerd from Ohio, Ernest Cline! But is it also a dream come true for anybody else? Let's…
