I have been lucky enough to visit countries such as Norway or Finland, where having a secluded cabin in the middle of nature is part of their way of life. Here in Spain it seems that the more people better, a pity. This quiet corner by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/124546590@N03/">Cesar Soares</a> is a delight for all the senses, full of constructive and aesthetic details. A creation to enjoy in silence ...<br />

No puedo recordar cual fue mi primera minifig, o un astronauta de Space Classic o un policía. Lo que si recuerdo es que estos astronautas fueron mis compañeros de aventuras durante muchos años. Y si LEGO Star Wars hubiese existido en aquella época estoy seguro de que mis minifigs también hubiesen visitado a Jabba o a Darth Vader. El caso es que esta foto, a parte de la perfección técnica y una iluminación increíble, ha despertado una extraña nostalgia en mi...<br />

<br />
I told myself that I would not talk about the anniversary of the minifig, but after seeing the photo of <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/avanaut/">Vesa Lehtimäki</a>, I have had to change my plans. I can not remember which was my first minifig, or a Space Classic spaceman or a policeman. What I do remember is that these astronauts were my adventure companions for many years. And if LEGO Star Wars had existed at that time I am sure that my minifigs would also have visited Jabba or Darth Vader. The fact is that this photo, apart from technical perfection and incredible lighting, has awakened a strange nostalgia in me...<br />

No solo la fantástica criatura está muy bien conseguida, toda la escena está muy equilibrada y la maleta es un fantástico MOC por sí sola. Sin duda <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ianhoy/">DOGOD Brick Design</a> ha hecho un gran trabajo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This little creature, which could represent the spirit of human greed, is a character from the Harry Potter universe movie "Fantastic Beasts and where to find them". Not only the fantastic creature is very well achieved, the whole scene is very balanced and the suitcase is a fantastic MOC on its own. Undoubtedly <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ianhoy/">DOGOD Brick Design</a> has done a great job.<br />

Fantástico trabajo.<br />

When you try to build your own version of a LEGO set it’s because you are sure you can improve it. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/49277037@N06/">Lennart C</a> has made its own version of the Volkswagen Beetle, and although it is a version of the classic model, not the beach model that LEGO launched, it’s clear that visually it looks much more like the real model. Fantastic job.<br />

No solo el modelo del Bentley es increíblemente bello, sino que además te obsequia con unos apuntes sobre su historia y sobre el modelo en sí. El verde oscuro de LEGO es realmente parecido al clásico verde inglés de competición. Una maravilla sobre ruedas.<div>

If you like scale models of real vehicles and also like to read about the model and how it has been built, you cannot miss the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bricksonwheels/">Bricksonwheels</a> gallery. Not only the model of the Bentley is incredibly beautiful, But he also gives you a few notes about its history and the model itself. The LEGO dark green is really similar to the classic racing English green. A wonder on wheels.</div>

Volver a los castillos fuertes, sólidos, sobrios, ... Cuando lo hagan pueden coger apuntes de esta fantástica creación de <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lukaszwiktorowicz/">Lukasz Wiktorowicz</a>.<br />

Perhaps, in the not too distant future, LEGO will decide that the Castle line needs to return to its origins, without rare science fiction mixes and without creatures taken from the mix of mythologies without much sense.

La actitud y la pose de los personajes es fundamental para que le escena parezca viva, que parezca que están ocurriendo cosas. Viendo esta escena de <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/nujumetru/">Aaron Newman</a> parece que hemos llegado en el momento justo de presenciar el climax de una historia.

Yo veo esos chasis como una oportunidad sin límites de diversión y de dotar de una jugabilidad distinta a nuestras creaciones. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/frostbricks/">Kale Frost</a> resume todo esto perfectamente en esta creación. El vehículo y sus ocupantes son simplemente fantásticos, que todo ello este sobre un chasis RC la hace mítica.<div>

The LEGO RC sets are for me one of the worst-used possibilities in the AFOL world.

The vehicle and its occupants are simply fantastic, that all these are on an RC chassis makes this creation mythical.</div>

A veces un diseño limpio y poco recargado es mucho más efectivo visualmente que uno muy recargado. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/spook0114/">Tim Zarki</a> nos da una lección de diseño con este pequeño robot. No le falta nada y aun mejor, tampoco le sobra nada. Podríamos verlo en cualquier película de ciencia ficción.<br />

Sometimes a clean and little ornate design is much more visually effective than a full of greeble one. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/spook0114/">Tim Zarki</a> gives us a design lesson with this little robot. He doesn’t lack anything and even better, he doesn’t spare anything either. We could see it in any science fiction movie.<br />

What the gas stations have that fans of cars like them so much? Is it because we feed our beloved cars there? Or will it be for the relief of finding one when the reserve light is on? <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/norton74/42299451364/in/faves-98171509@N00/">Norton74</a> shows us how it was a classic Italian gas station, as always with a great love for design and detail.<br />

No voy a hablaros del libro ni de la trilogía de películas. Las tengo todas y soy fan. De los sets de LEGO de esa temática tengo pocos y además comprados por las minifigs. No porque sean malos sets, sino porque no son lo suficientemente buenos para tenerlos construidos y no cansarme de ellos. Minas Tirith de <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/swandutchman/">Koen</a> se quedaría en mi estantería durante muuuuuucho tiempo. ¿Por qué LEGO no añade algo de imaginación a su línea de Architecture y empieza a incluir edificios emblemáticos de sus franquicias?<br />

Today I have the epic day and after Star Wars I have to rejoice in The Lord of the Rings. I'm not going to tell you about the book or the movie trilogy. I have them all and I'm a fan. Of the LEGO sets of that theme I have few and also bought by the minifigs. Not because they are bad sets, but because they are not good enough to have them built and not get tired of them. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/swandutchman/">Koen’s</a> Minas Tirith would stay on my bookshelf for a long, long, long time. Why does not LEGO add some imagination to its Architecture line and begin to include emblematic buildings of its franchises?<br />

Se que hay gente que no piensa así y la verdad es que me da lo mismo. No pienso discutir sobre este tema porque a fin de cuentas es cuestión de opiniones, y como los culos, cada uno tenemos el nuestro. Al principio de la película vemos como el Imperio siembra de sondas el espacio buscando la base rebelde. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/daiman_mardon/">Daiman</a> nos muestra una de esas sondas robóticas tal y como pudimos observarla en la película antes de que Han y su peludo amigo la destruyera. Para mi la mejor versión de la sonda hasta ahora.<div>

For me The Empire Strikes Back will always be the best movie of the saga. I know there are people who don’t think like that and the truth is that I don’t care. I don’t intend to discuss this issue because ultimately it is a question of opinions, and like the asses, we each have ours. At the beginning of the film we see how the Empire sows space with probes seeking the rebel base. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/daiman_mardon/">Daiman</a> shows us one of those robotic probes as we could see in the movie before Han and his furry friend destroyed it. For me the best version of the probe so far.</div>

Me faltan conocimientos sobre los diferentes tipos de articulaciones y cuando usar cada una. Sin embargo eso no me impide disfrutarlos desde que era pequeño, sobre todo con las series de animación de Mazinger Z Y los Transformers. En LEGO hay toda una línea no oficial sobre ellos, que se nutre de animes, videojuegos y de nuestra increíble imaginación. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/velocites/">Marius Herrmann</a> nos presenta el Shell-Walker de “Horizon Zero Dawn”. El robot que podría recordarnos a un cangrejo de seis patas es increíble, pero no he podido evitar dejarme seducir por el contenedor hexagonal que porta, es una joya de diseño.<br />

I have never been a robot builder. I lack knowledge about the different types of joints and when to use each one. However that does not stop me from enjoying them since I was a kid, especially with the Mazinger Z and Transformers animation series. In LEGO there is a whole unofficial line about them, which is nourished by anime, videogames and our incredible imagination. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/velocites/">Marius Herrmann</a> presents the Shell-Walker of "Horizon Zero Dawn". The robot that could remind us of a six-legged crab is incredible, but I could not help being seduced by the hexagonal container it carries, it is a design jewel.<br />

Uno de los más conocidos y para mi el más original es el Castillo de Chenonceau. Situado sobre el río, tiene una forma alargada muy particular. Cuando he visto la creación de <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/nujumetru/">Aaron Newman</a> me he quedado impactado. Es instantáneamente reconocible y el nivel de detalle es increíble.

A few years ago I had the good fortune to visit the Loire Valley and its famous castles. One of the best known and for me the most original is the Castle of Chenonceau. Located on the river, it has a very particular elongated shape. When I saw the creation of <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/nujumetru/">Aaron Newman</a> I was shocked. It is instantly recognizable and the level of detail is incredible. An authentic beauty.</div>

Que el modelo tenga partes móviles, que se divida en vehículos más pequeños, etc, es lo que hace que puedas desarrollar distintas historias y jugar con el una y otra vez sin cansarte. En la línea Space Classic no faltaban naves con partes móviles, que incluían transportaban una base o un vehículo en la parte de atrás, o que se dividía en otras más pequeñas. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/123907272@N02/">Yu chris</a> ha hecho eso y mucho más en su Space Base, todo lo necesario para investigar un nuevo planeta en una sola nave. Todo un compendio de imaginación e ingeniería.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1740/42517452301_f704a49f88_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="423" data-original-width="640" height="263" src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1740/42517452301_f704a49f88_z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
One of the important characteristics in every toy is its playability. That the model has moving parts, that is divided into smaller vehicles, etc., is what makes you develop different stories and play with it again and again without getting tired. In the Space Classic line there were spaceships with moving parts, which carried a base or a vehicle in the back, or could divide into smaller ones. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/123907272@N02/">Yu chris</a> has done that and much more in his Space Base, everything necessary to investigate a new planet in a single ship. A whole compendium of imagination and engineering.<br />
