Building Shanghai Chase

A week or so ago, I finally got around to building The Indiana Jones set “Shanghai Chase” (7862). The set is a medium sized one, and didn’t take very long to put together. It features some interesting elements, 5 minifigs, and some interesting building techniques.

Mark Kelso’s Apocalypsis

We don’t often blog about other people’s work here at the Brickwares Blog. One of the things we strive for here is to provide content that non AFOLS (and if you don’t know what an AFOL is, you’re probably not one) can enjoy alongside the hardcore bricksters. We hope to be a place of conversation and rational thought about issues surrounding Lego and the building thereof.

We even consider ourselves to be pretty decent at creating things with everyone’s favorite bricks. Today, we’d like to introduce you to a work that verges on the sublime, from one of our favorite builders.

Mark Kelso (Amhakia Visions) has made many fantastic creations, and works with bricks as well as canvas, and many things in between.
