If you're like me, you like LEGO. And if you really are like me, you also like to read British magazines and newspapers more than or as much as their American counterparts.
A recent article I found on the "TimesOnline" by one Damian Whitworth may be one of the best written articles about LEGO in general that I've ever read.
This guy is not a LEGO novice. I didn't read "Legos" once. That alone makes this article a slice above the rest.
Overall, his commentaries on the product and the brand are wonderful.
I'm not so sure about his idea to build welfare housing with "mega sized waterproof Lego bricks" but hey, to each his own.
I'd also like to add that I completely agree with his statement about LEGOLAND(s) at the end.
So, check out the article for yourself and see what you think. |

This is a very small (just 5 studs wide) version of the Delorean from the Back to the Future
movies. It's a little out of scale for the minifigure in the photo (I'm afraid there's only the one image for this one - but you can make it bigger!), but still an excellent rendition. Notable techniques include string for wheel wells, elastics for the trim near the ground, levers and nozzle/gun elements for window edges, and a ridiculous amount of studs-not-on-top stunts. At this scale, it's even possible to use sideways "cheese grater" 1x2 slopes as seats!
