LEGO® Creator Robo Explorer Tips & Tricks!

    Description

    Fan creation by MGuest. In this video we demonstrate how to create irregular shapes that resemble rocky landscapes. The scale has been used to reflect the robot model, but this method of using slopes is easily scalable. The end product is a small diorama that makes a good display piece and sets a story about who this robot is. The technique shows how to build without symmetry and encourages a little more of a free-form build. Different gradient slopes and angles placed in different directions can create the perfect craggy rock face. It also demonstrates how to use larger pieces (BURPS) within these formations to build larger and quicker, but at the same time adding detail to these areas. Although in this example we have only used dark gray, most colors in the LEGO® palette can be used to create colorful landscapes. The rock is finished off with a flower piece to give the robot something to interact with and to demonstrate how color can help liven this up. In the video you can also see how the layering of plates can create a more exciting terrain beyond baseplates.

        Bump N Go Cars

        Fan creation by joshoalltrades. This Bumper Car ride was created from set 10247, the Ferris Wheel. I tried to make this ride as realistic as possible, by making the roof look like a metal cage and adding a queue line. All music was created by myself (Josh, 14). Bump N Go Cars is an entry from the LEGO® Rebrick contest: Be An Expert Rebuilder.

          LEGO® Creator Beachside Vacation Tips & Tricks!

          Fan creation by LGibert. It’s summer and the weather is hot. After an exhausting week at work, Mei and Adai are going to have a leisure day at the beach. Mei wants to take a sunbath. She arrives at the bathing box and after changing into comfortable clothes, she goes to the red deck chair to lie down. A seagull observes her from the top of the flagstaff. Adai prefers to relax by fishing. He takes the rod and sits down at the dock. The weather vane shows that it is a little windy. When the sunset arrives, the generator provides power to the lamps on the dock, creating a bucolic scene. It has been a wonderful relaxing day for Mei and Adai.
