View ArticleIt’s Not Easy Being Green
Olive green Lego bricks are rarer than elephant eggs, so we can’t begin to imagine the complexity of trying to find all the olive parts needed for this Novvember entry. 6kyubi6 is the builder and you...

This off-road tank transporting truck was suggested to us via the Feedback and Submission Suggestions page, and it’s the work of Hajdekr on Flickr. Whilst we’re not sure a roll-on/off system could...

Novvember is finally over, so until the next tenuously titled month-long bandwagon rolls into town here’s one of the last creations uploaded to the departing theme. Tim Henderson‘s Lightning VicQueen...

Back in the days when the Royal Air Force spent as much on moustache wax for its pilots as it did on jet fuel, three mighty bombers were designed. The Valiant, Victor and Vulcan. The latter two were...
View Article15 Pieces of Fame
Ok, Calvin Sun’s Roadster has a few more pieces than fifteen, but nevertheless it does prove you don’t need oodles of bricks to makes something blogworthingly cool. Check it out on Flickr here.
View ArticleChibi?
Like Ma.K, here at TLCB towers we’re a bit unsure about what exactly “chibi” is. Wikipedia defines it as a Japanese slang word for a short person or a small child. It goes on to say that the word has...

This glorious 1991 TVR S3 comes from Flickr and MOCpage’s Mortal Swordsman, who’s been commissioned by the Auto Trader car selling website to recreate readers’ cars in Lego. You can see more of this...

View ArticleNot a Car
It might not be a car, but Fujiia‘s bicycle is certainly one of the most beautifully elegant Lego creations published this year. There are a lot more bikes in the world than cars too – for most of the...
