Some time ago I pictured this car with narrower lens on Fuji camera.

Wider view, gives more background to where and how this car exists.

I think I prefer the view from 17mm as it shows a house and a lot more bush that is on the plot.

Now you may start to think a story behind the abandoned property and a rusty car on it ;)

Are we back here again already?

-The year started with the beginning of a project I’d been meaning to get to for years; alt builds of Speed Champion cars. I even had a super unique name in mind—Space Champions. Turns out, there were two other Space Champion displays at BrickWorld, so, not as innovative as I thought… So far I’ve built four. But they’re my excuse to keep buying Speed Champions, so I’m sure more will come and I dream of building a track of some kind for them.

-The first Space Champion was also an entry to a Eurobrick’s alt-build challenge, where it pulled off a runner-up place.

-I had a total blast with our family collab for this year’s BrickWorld—a series of Wingfeather Saga figures. It was so fun to see my younger sister come into her own as a LEGO builder with this collab, actually designing the heads for these figures and taking on an incredible amount of building. Boy if I could have built that well that fast at her age!

-Speaking of BrickWorld, I brought most of my Iron Builder creations from last year and it was incredible to get nominated for BrickWorld Master.

-Participating in the Rollie Pollie collab with Isaiah to create our Pied Piper MOC was super special and it was awesome to take this way to honor a builder and friend who has inspired us for years.

-The Simon Games (as I will forever call them) felt like a Durand Mafia this year as we cornered the bidding market by pooling resources which, besides the immense score of prizes, was a hysterical amount of fun that I will never forget. Those same frog bucks have continued to see use as we play “the cow game” with frog currency now.

-Sending a build to the LEGO House is of course always a highlight and I am especially proud of my Little Train.

-I had a million brilliant ideas for the Summer Joust but I procrastinated too long on them. I did finish three entries, but only one was part of the original plan, a new microscale castle—Swallow’s Nest Castle. Once again I placed second in the Vignette category, which feels like a high bar for future microscale castles…

-So, all told I built 16 MOCs this year which is so low, especially considering that many of them are simply tiny. However, this second half of the year has been full of MOC planning and even a little building, lots of BIG projects coming soon.

-A couple of standout BrickNerd articles also come to mind as I think about what I did this year; Turning Botanical Sets into Wall Decor was super fun, and Flattery or Robbery: Copying Other LEGO Builders and the Line Between Inspiration and Imitation was a really interesting subject to think through.

-I’ve also started a new series with Blocks Magazine with some in-depth interviews and articles about spectacular MOCs. Super proud of how that series looks and I encourage you to check it out if you’re somewhere where a Blocks subscription is available!

The year was a good one on other fronts as well; I went skydiving, spent two weeks in Guatemala on a missions trip, almost finished writing a new book that I’m super enthused about, and earned my black belt in Taekwondo (wait, that was this year?!). I also started keeping track of the books I read and apparently I passed 150; shout out to Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ Romans series which was incredible. In some ways it’s been a rollercoaster of a year, but I do like rollercoasters. Looking back, I’ve worked with so many children in one way or another this year, and those kiddos can really keep you on hot coals. But then to be fair, most of the real drama has come from parents.

My YouTube channel and pretty much also my personal website tumbled off the face of the earth this year, which is not really worth mentioning, but I put it here as a self-slap in the face that will hopefully get me going again next year.

My favorite build award this year goes to the Little Train I think, although Swallow’s Nest Castle, Artham Wingfeather, and the Lambo Space Champion are all knocking at the door.

2022 Recap by -LittleJohn

88 7

2022 was a pretty quiet year for me, LEGO-wise. That being said, I was still very happy to be able to complete 2 more collabs with Isaac, as well as participate in both the CCC and Brickscalibur. Perhaps the highlight of the year though was being involved with the Symphony of Construction collaboration. Was amazing seeing and hearing what all the other collaborators had created! And my own contribution was certainly one of my most ambitious builds to date (I don't know exactly how much the finished model ended up weighing, but it was pretty difficult to pick up!)

And of course, as always, it was fantastic to help organize the Summer Joust. It might seem like it would get repetitive doing it year after year, but every time I'm amazed by the creativity and quality of the entries!

Despite not building/posting as much this past year, I do still regularly check in to see all the fantastic models you guys are posting. Hard to say if I'll be able to build more in 2023 or not, but hopefully can still get out several throughout the year.

Would love to hear if you had a favorite of my models this year :)

What a year!

I was finally able to finish my Venice 1486 diorama and released it on a venue in Belgium. That was an amazing & fun weekend!

In skaerbaek i was able to meet some online friends for the first time and speak with everyone in person. Thx again for the great weekend guys!

I also made some fun tutorials and moved into my new Lego room. Now i have all the space i need and more..

Not the fastest builder out there, but I'm very pleased with the mocs I've made this year.

Last but not least: The Lego community is still the best community in the world and i always enjoy seeing all those amazing mocs people make every year 🙌

I wise you all a safe and peaceful new year and we see each other in 2023!

BFNE Build / Recap by [Brian O'Leary]

For my first convention, it was a blast. As for the build, I procrastinated a bunch on the middle building, but overall the diorama pleases me very much.

It was super rad meeting everyone who is tagged below, and we are planning on doing something next year (hint - hint). I helped Elijah put grass on his build for about an hour :D

I got my hands on some nice items by trading and such, and an abundance of memes were passed around. Sprue, mongolian, the free build section, and others in which we do not utter here.

I hope to see some more of you guys next year!!!!!!!!

My MOC card got cut off.

The picture is atrocious.

Best Brick yet. I would do it day by day but it's mostly a blur. From all the new people I became friends with like Jonah, Rex, Jake, Matt, Peter, Carter, Cody and Jeff to hanging out again with the boys Brandon, Yasser, Rob, Greg, Nathaniel, Caden and Caleb. All the trades and crazy stupid fast food runs to introduce Rex to fine American dining. Not to mention Cody's moding workshop. This year remains unmatched. This year saw the birth of the red rocket bois and many more memes to spam the Flickr (and now Instagram, follow me) comments section. I just want to thank all the new and old friends for an awsome 5 days and I can't wait for next year!

I'd like to say my 2016 was really good, it had its ups and downs but more good things happened rather than bad.

When 2016 started I never thought I would be where I am today and I'd like to say thank you to every single one of my followers for an amazing experience this past year. I've made a lot of friends and have improved a lot.

This year overall I have made around 33 figs, not counting WIPs and they've all turned out amazing! Guess I'll list my top 10 figs.

In no particular order we have, Kat, X-01, Kenny, Impa, Deadpool, Ulssyes, ORAS Trainer, Benny, Toon Link, and James or TheOdd1sOut. If you have a favorite custom of mine let me know in the comments below!

I hope I'll stay for as long as I can, as this community let's me be myself and is just amazing!

So yeah that's pretty much it! I've tagged inspirations and friends! Hope everyone has a Happy New Year and 2017!

WWB Loot § Recap by Michael Doyle

55 31

Well, another WWB went by. This was the first one that I went to that wasn't in Minneapolis, so a change was nice. I flew out Thursday after school and got there pretty late that night. I'll do like a day by day break down below.

Friday: Woke up at like 4 and 6am cause of the time difference, so I didn't sleep too well. Miciah met me at my room at 8:45 and we got my plates and stuff and headed downstairs. I saw Andrew and met Brahm when we got there, and we soon started setting up Luzon. Went over and talked to Will a bit, but didn't get to see (most of) the stuff that he brought to trade or whatever until later that night/Saturday morning. Brought back some burgers and ate while assembling more of the collab. Sean showed up and I messed with him for a while. By the afternoon Brahm became a part of the collab and helped us out everything together. By the time of the Brickarms presentation, we were probably 90-95% done with Luzon. Ended up leaving around ten since my mom was pissed at me for not answering my phone/texts lmao

Saturday: Tired af when I got up. Met the guys down by the collab and put on the final touches. We ended up changing a good amount of stuff that really helped make the build look and feel much more realistic and logical. Added stuff like the boarder and fixed the positioning of the Americans. This will be explained when the collab pics go up. Logan showed up and a lot of fun chilling with him on and off the rest of the con. We spent a lot it time modding stuff since we had everything finished and ended up having a "workshop" on Sunday. Talked to Will more and got a lot of cool stuff, either from gifts or trades. Saturday went by extremely fast, probably the most out of the 3 days.

Sunday: kinda sad that it was the last day cause I had to leave at like 2 :/ but it was great to see that we got an award. Pretty much spent the morning chillin with the bois by Luzon and talking to the public. By about noon we started breaking stuff down and dividing the sponsorship items up, took a long ass time lmao. After everything got packed up I headed over to talk to Will to say goodbye and stuff, got some final things, then said the goodbyes to the people I could find lol. Sucked to leave at 2.

If you don't want to read:

Con went by very fast

Very fun

Luzon turned out dank

Lando kamikazed my Sherman with a drone

Got some dope stuff

Modded all day

Met some guys for the first time

Spent like 50$

Sean yelled "Nipple Milk" and made me laugh

Jasper likes tea

Woulda been better if CB was there, but still a good time

BFVA 2K17 Recap by -Fury-

91 46

First off, BFVA was absoultely amazing.

I had the awesome opportunity to meet so many Flickr friends and buddies, which is quite a long list:

Of course, the Narva boys: Mj, Grant, Greg, Ccaleb, Nick, and Garett from The Minifig Co.;

the dudes from the Hue City collab: James, Brandon, Tyler, Simon, Spencer

(don't forget to hmu if any of you have CB grunt torsosszz) and Iain, Caden, and Yasser; as well as many of the contributors for Bastogne: Ethan, Eliott, Toby, Greg (the small one), Hunter, Papa Cheet, Sam, Max, Mason, and Robbie;

It was super fun participating in the Narva collab and helping with the Siege if Bastogne.

It was my first time attending BFVA, and God willing it won't be my last

[Disclaimer: It very well could have been, I nearly broke my back in the bounce house XD]

But overall, it was really such a blast as well as a growing experience, learning from so many talented and skilled builders.

I really can't wait for the epicc stuff the future and BFVA 2k18 holds, all I know is that it'll be just that: Epic.

Aight guys, God bless, and hope to see ya there next year!

-Jesse

P.S. Feel fee to tag yourself if I forgot to do so. ;D

WWB Loot/Recap by Ballisticbricks

46 33

Wow.. That flew by, words can't express how great of an experience that was.

I left on weds night, and got into Cali pretty late. The next morning my grandpa and me made a plan to go all over California that day (not to mention I've never been to California before). The first thing we did was go to this really cool bakery called "Helms Bakery" my grandpa really wanted to go there because he has the same last name. After that, we went to Beverly Hills. You would not believe some of the HUGE houses up there. Throughout the whole day, we went through Long Beach, Santa Ana, Santa Monica, LA, and Malibu. Malibu beach was beautiful, it was one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. After Malibu, we went up to The Reagan Presidential Library. The Library was incredible, and I learned a lot about the importance of our 40th President. That was almost the end of our day considering traffic back to the hotel took over 2 1/2 hours. For dinner that night we went to this really good Italian restaurant called Cortinas, we loved it.

Starting the next day, was the first day of the convention, and in my opinion probably the best. The very first thing I did was meet up with Michael at his hotel room and help him carry his part from Luzon to the con. That whole day we set up Luzon, and it turned out to be awesome and we even received an award for (Best Use of Brickarms) That day I met up with Michael, Andrew, Brahm, Logan, Jasper, Henry, and Sean.

Sat-Sun were quite similar, it consisted of Modding, Fixing up minor issues with luzon, Painting and hanging with friends.

Sunday, was quite sad because we had to take apart Luzon and I wouldn't be seeing some of my best friends for quite a long time.

Overall, I really enjoyed California and would like to go back sometime soon. As for WWB, It was great, the only thing that would have made it better was Citizen brick attending. Other than that, It was great to meet up with some of my best friends, Michael and Andrew, and meet some in person for the first time, Logan, Brahm, Jasper, and Henry. It was a great experience and hope to make many more.

2022 Recap by Hubba Blöoba

60 9

We've once again reached the new year, so it's time to look back at what I've done this year. It's gone by so quickly, hasn't it?

As always, I've tagged a bunch of builders who have inspired me throughout this last year.

I started the year off by participating in the annual Iron Forge, placing in the top 8 as I faced off against the one and only ForlornEmpire. It was a true honor to compete against Eli, and I absolutley loved to see him compete in IB again just earlier this month. I'm hoping to compete in IF again in 2023, and I can't wait to see who else manages to compete!

After IF, I began experimenting with a new color scheme, untilizing old purple, one of my favorite LEGO colors. I ended up with this Bard's Cottage, in which I tried out a bunch of new geometric techniques. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice on it along the way!

In June, I began working with my collab team from last year (KitKat1414, mbricks52, and Dan The Fan) on a new series of builds for the Summer Joust. We created four builds focusing on an elderly gnome who created a magnificent feast for his woodland neighbors. We ended up winning the Exotic Feast collab category this year, which was super exciting!

After I began building for the collab, I travelled to Chicago to attend my first convention, Brickworld Chicago. I had a blast displaying with RebelLug, participating in the Simon/Markus games, putting together a bunch of Si-MOCs's models, and so much more. It was awesome to meet so many builders there! I'm looking forward to attending next June, I can't wait to see what new memories we can make together!

Although I haven't posted anything recently, I've still been building, slowly. Hopefully Brickscalibur and Iron Forge can get me back into the swing of things!

Thank you all for such a wonderful year.

And that's a wrap on 2022! It was a year with lots of new builds, especially after I completed my degree in the earlier part of the year. Several good builds not making it on the collage, but lots of stuff I'm very proud of, my first SHIPtember, first time making it on to The Brothers Brick, and lots of sci-fi. Hoping to build more fantasy in the new year and expand my horizons!

BFVA this year was amazing I met so many new people and got to talk to a lot of friends from online and BFVA 2015.I displayed my Battle of Bloody Gulch,which in my opinion turned out pretty good. I also got to meet Will Chapman for the first time and was apart of my first collab, Bastonge, that was a lot of fun. I got to hang out with a lot of cool people and get some pretty cool stuff. Finally I joined FloseLUG. Thanks again everyone for an amazing BFVA 2017 experience. I hope to go to BFVA next year.

BFVA 2018 Recap by Samuel

31 16

Now I admit, I'm not good at writing these kinds of things, or writing in general, but this was probably the second best Brickfair I've attended, right up there with BFVA 2016.

It was great seeing all my buddies and it was also great meeting new people, but one of the highlights of this year's BFVA to me at least, was the recognition of my work by some of my biggest inspirations and some of the most talented people in the community I know, and for that I feel humbled.

I would like to give special thanks to Justin, Hunter, Toby, Codey, Danny, Nikita, Yasser, Jeremy, USMC Justin, George, Miles, Kalon, Gregory, Cheech, Michael, Christian, Rob, Max, and Elliott (in spirit) for making Brickfair great as usual.

(Again, if I forgot to tag you or if I missed you at Brickfair then I apologize and feel free to tag yourself)
