The LX Edition is one of my most detailed computer builds to date. It has a fully modelled CRT as well hard drive, floppy drive, and power unit subassemblies. However, the real star of this build is the removable card cage that houses the motherboard and memory boards!
A building guide for My First Computer: LX Edition is now available at chrismcveigh.com

U.S. Senator Rubén Gallego, an emerging figure in the Democratic Party, says it is highly likely the Donald Trump administration will opt for a new military intervention to force a regime change in Cuba. “Cubans in Florida have a lot of power and the State Secretary, Marco Rubio, is obsessed with the island,” he told reporters on Friday at the Real Instituto Elcano think tank headquarters in Madrid. “But I don’t believe Cuba is a threat to the U.S.; it’s a very poor country of nine million inhabitants,” he added.

I've been wanted to do a coniferous tree with traditional limb elements for a very long time, but as many of you know, it's a challenge to create a classic tree shape with those parts at a relatively small size. However, new elements 26047 and 32828 opened a few doors. Placement of the Voodoo balls towards the top of the tree conveniently fill in unwanted gaps, but in the future, those could be filled by 35480 in tree-appropriate colors for use in a non-Christmas context.
Anyhoo, guides for regular green, olive green, and white variants of this build are now available at chrismcveigh.com!

...as I said earlier I missed out on the Fright Knight theme, I started frequenting cafés, pubs and clubs... but a small AFOL was still around in me when I visited friends with Lego I was always ready to play with their kids (and their Lego...

My Modular Arcade series returns in May! This second generation features three all-new arcade machine designs (two pictured here), an all-new sit-down arcade racer, and new/improved wall and stairs units. As with previous Modular Arcade units, you can snap them together any way you like to create your own unique arcade.
More pictures will be posted soon, and building guides will be available at chrismcveigh.com by the end of May.

Here's another retro desk setup that's firmly rooted in the '90s. It's got a tanker-style desk with three working drawers and a tweaked chair design with rounded cushioning. Building guides are available at chrismcveigh.com!

Here’s the final Star Wars sculpture I did for LEGO in 2015, appropriately titled AT-ST on Endor. As you can guess, the legs shuffle back and forth when you turn the crank. The mechanism in both the AT-AT and the AT-ST models is deceptively simple – the legs are pushed outward and return to position through the magic of gravity.
UPDATE: Guide now available at chrismcveigh.com
Note: In 2017, builder Carl Greatrix tackled the same concept, motorized, at a much larger scale. The walking motion in his model is phenomenal - check out his work in progress at www.flickr.com/photos/bricktrix/
Through the first half of 2026, Netflix is on a hot streak with its original films. The standout so far has been the sci-fi action epic War Machine starring Reacher's Alan Ritchson, which surged into ninth place on the platform's all-time global viewership charts with 139.9 million views, but Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's The Rip and the Michael B. Jordan family animated adventure Swapped have also reached some impressive milestones. Yet, none have been quite as towering as last year's breakout global sensation KPop Demon Hunters. This week marks the first anniversary of HUNTR/X's game-changing debut, and since then, viewers have kept watching Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, if its streak of 50-straight weeks in the English top-ten is any indication.

About four years ago I build a bright red fridge with retro styling. Always meant to go back and build a matching range, and I finally got the chance to do so. And I decided to rebuild the fridge from the ground up, too!
