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.

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/

My first new ornament for 2018 is an order of fries! Unusual, yes, but not completely random: it's designed to complement the equally ridiculous burger ornament I created two years ago. :sweat_smile:

Mrs. Claus originally had a much more youthful, elven face. It was the wrong look for her, of course, so I gave her a different nose and distinguishing glasses. But the basics of her original design live on in this Platecraft Elf. :)

One of the fun things about the Retro Range is that it's properly sized for the LEGO turkey. :)

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.

Mythology, landscapes, and technology converge in the meticulous, Afrofuturistic sculptures of Ekow Nimako. Using thousands of black LEGO bricks, the Ghanaian-Canadian artist explores legends and folklore of the African diaspora, creating figurative embodiments of allegorical creatures and spiritual beings. Through a single, modular medium, he highlights a wide range of cultural phenomena, from graffiti writing in his series Building Black GRAPHICA to sprawling metropolises in Building Black CIVILIZATIONS.
Recently, Nimako has been working on a collection inspired by African ceremonial masks, interstellar travel, machines, and geometric forms. Some of the works seen here are currently on view in Building Black AMORPHIA: Spiritual Starships at Harbourfront Centre, which is part of a program celebrating Black culture called ZUUMBA 365.
Nimako recently installed a multi-part piece titled “Children of the Rouge Valley” at the Rouge Valley Community Recreation Centre in Scarborough, Ontario, and he’s currently working toward another public installation on a Canadian university campus. Building Black AMORPHIA: Spiritual Starships continues in Toronto through August 31. Find more on the artist’s Instagram, including updates about forthcoming e-store drops.
