Trinidad is one of a kind, a perfectly preserved Spanish colonial settlement where the clocks stopped in 1850 and have yet to restart. Huge sugar fortunes amassed in the nearby Valle de los Ingenios during the early 19th century created the illustrious colonial-style mansions bedecked with Italian frescoes, Wedgwood china and French chandeliers - Trinidad, Cuba
This Spring I held a Lego building class for kids at a local school over a couple of months. Of course, I taught them to build trees :D but the classes they enjoyed the most were the interior design ones.
This kitchen vignette was one of the builds that we built together. It was fun to see them put their own touches on their builds, adding different colors and items to it - sometimes a bit over the top ;)
Nothing really ground-breaking going on here. Focus was more on details and composition.
Hope you like it :)

My little LEGO vignette of the medieval Old Town of Regensburg, Germany, a UNESCO World Heritage site. I built this for the 12x12 category of Brickscalibur inspired by a recent trip to the city. It is akin to a skyline model but in a more crammed 2-dimensional layout. Thus it's not an actual reproduction of the city's layout rather than an agglomeration of various points of interest, specifically:
• The Old Town Hall with its high tower and the adjacent Imperial Diet Hall where the Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire assembled.
• St. Peter's Cathedral as one of the most significant Gothic cathedrals in Germany.
• The Baroque Justitia Fountain bearing a sculpture of Lady Justice.
• The Stone Bridge across the Danube as a milestone of medieval bridge architecture and oldest existing bridge in Germany.
• The Bridge Tower as the remaining one of once 3 guard towers along the Stone Bridge.
• The Salzstadel and Amberger Stadel as historic salt storages next to the Bridge Tower.
• The Historic Sausage Kitchen as probably the oldest continuously open public restaurant in the world.
Due to its small size the model doesn't really make any pretense of accurate proportions or a consistent overall scale. It is to be understood more as an homage than an accurate reproduction.
Building instructions and further details can be found on Rebrickable.
(With regards to the Brickscalibur contest, I acknowledge that not all the buildings might fit exactly into the required period of ~500-1500, but each of them could have existed at this time if it was a more generic city and the model nonetheless has a rather medieval core idea.)
Initiate this little stacked vignette to be a community build that we can stacked together in a Brick Con exhibition.

Charlie Chaplin is a favourite of mine. Using this monochrome minifigure as a basis for Lego vingettes allows textures to be highlighted due to the minimal colour palate.
Built for minifigures.com to showcase their lovely detailed Charlie Chaplin minifigure. They have some printing plans for the tiles and signs so there are a few blank parts at the moment (eg the sign above the shop door).
Cat is ambitiously eyeing up a jump onto the roof - always good to aim high.

While trying to shoot this Common Merganser thru thick brush I had no idea that it would create this 'soft vignette'...something that I didn't plan, but like...:)...it's worth a click for larger!
Thanks you for your visit and comments...heading for Costa Rica in a couple of days...can't wait!!!
Members of InnovaLUG built vignettes for the Disney minifigure series, and I built this for Donald Duck. View all of the vignettes on our website:

Fun facts: I built the walls upside down so that I could match the slope of the back of the boat with a 1x2 tile slope (is that what you call them?).
The windows are probably my favorite details, it was tricky getting them to be only 3 studs wide.
I based this off of Donald Duck's first appearance:
Vintage Argus Seventy-Five camera on bridge over the creek behind the Ahwahnee Hotel, Yosemite Valley.
Lately, I've been diving into 1960s and 1970's interior design. After looking at old family photos I created this vignette.
I built a vignette as a belated birthday present for my brother in law (see this post). I'll add some of the Scibor miniatures I have into his present too.
A U.S. Ranger is about to silently take out a Spetsnaz soldier on the outskirts of a destroyed town.
Just a little 12x12 vignette I made. I mainly made this just to post on the Brickarms Files because I have never put one of my pictures on there. Hope you like it!
I built this moc for a building event on steinchenfans.de that was themed "Straße mit Hindernissen" what is best translated with "Blocked Road". The only rule was to use between 200 and 500 LEGO parts.
"It's onion."
Based on the first season of Netflix' The Witcher, this is a small vignette I built solely to present my humble little Witcher figbarf:
Geralt, Jaskier and of course Roach, although there's only so much you can change about a Lego horse...
Geralt uses a minimally modified Episode 8 Rey hairpiece (just refined the uneven hairline on the forehead) painted white. Since the show premiered I wanted to make a Geralt minifig with this hairpiece, as the back in particular is a perfect fit in my eyes - and now I finally got around to it.
Let me know what you think!

Week 37 - spark continued with something hanging. Continuing with the beachy theme (apologies to those suffering from the cold weather). Kim's breathe LR preset and kk robinsegg texture.

Timeworn but magnificent, dilapidated but dignified, fun yet maddeningly frustrating. Havana is a city of indefinable magic - Obispo, Havana, Cuba
Jaffa, a separate enclave from Tel Aviv with its own ancient, 4000-plus-year-long history, is home to more Arab than Jewish residents and has a completely different atmosphere. Amble along arched alleyways, past stone structures aglow with golden light to find a hive of charming art galleries and creative makers' spaces, along with bohemian bars and buzzing restaurants - Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Israel
We're getting closer, I can feel it! These sculptures lead the way to that fabled gold treasure.
Euhm … we should leave, these are ward totems, warning us to stay away. And besides, I just found the previous expedition. They clearly were not so lucky in finding any gold.
This small 8x8 vignette was built for a competition at our LUG. Limitiations were 8x8, featuring one or more minifigs from recent series.
Must admit I'm not a big fan of 8x8, feel like there is just too many ideas left on the table.
Vignette inspired by the Coruscant scenes in Andor and brutalist architecture.
Also a further experiment with brick built shadows using flat silver & dark bluish grey
Built for @JakobKaiserMOCs custom works contest, intended for Dedra Meero
Thanks to Brock's bricks for all the flat silver parts.
I dislike brutalist architecture from a idealogical and beauty standpoint, but it can look cool :P

Tasting Mujito and having lunch at Bodeguita del medio… La Bodeguita del Medio is the birthplace of the mojito and former hangout of Ernest Hemingway. Ernest Hemingway is truly an iconic figure, especially here in Havana. He was a man who lived large on the world’s stage. Not just his writing, but his lifestyle too has become the stuff of legend. The more we learn about the famous writer who won both the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes the more we are frowning our eyebows…
