The Next Lego Project

Brainstorming for the tiki totem I’m planning to build.

Kristen drew this amazing design for a client and I found inspiration and challenge in translating it into Lego.

I decided to simplify and start by turning this minifigure accesory into a large piece.

It was a day full of failures.

I’ll have to start from scratch…again, but that’s alright, I love a trial-and-error launch.

I experimented today while we had a house full of homeschooled builders. They had a lot more success than I did.

The Aftermath

What’s Next?

These are two of my most recent builds.

I enjoy the entire process of building with Lego: sorting, planning, building, rebuilding, breaking down, and sorting again.

I’d like to give myself a new project, but not I don’t know what to attempt next.

More Lego

We’re getting ready to host an ocean-themed building event and I enjoyed yesterday’s set so much that I’m constructing a modified duplicate.

Mega One Piece Drop

Over the last year, my sons and I have devoted a lot of time to building various aspects of the One Piece universe in Lego.

This post is an attempt to document all the builds that didn’t fit into a particular project or contest.

The bulk of the pictures are characters Westen and Isaac worked on. Isaac is our subject matter expert and Westen is the master of the minifig.
