LEGO family album – sweet & memorable

by Thita (admin) on July 7, 2014

I have recently run across a series of small LEGO vignettes created by LEGO fan Felix Greco for his yet unborn child, titled This is the Story… depicting snapshots from their lives. He is intending to publish the photos in a family picture book. I thought the idea was really sweet and others may get inspiration from it too to create something similar. Enjoy! 🙂

There are 20 LEGO vignettes for the family album, and I will share only some of them here so you get an idea of what they look like. If you are interested, you can check out the rest of the photos at Felix’s flickr gallery here: This is the Story – full album

Below are some of the pictures from the LEGO family album. Both the composition and the photography of each vignette is really well done. I also like the captions, encouraging remembering the past and discussion.

So what do you think? How do you like the LEGO family album idea? Have you ever made something similar? Or are you planning to? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉

Build your own LEGO WALL-E, EVE & M-O

A few months ago I introduced you to a fellow LEGO fan who designed a very cute little WALL-E based on the 2008 animated film by Pixar. The LEGO version of WALL-E was created by Miro, and includes all the key features; the simple square shape, all-terrain treads, the shovel-hands, and binocular eyes are all there (see previous article here: Build Your Own LEGO Robot: LEGO WALL-E). And now there is more! 🙂

Since then fans of WALL-E have been asking for the other main characters of the film, EVE and M-O, so Miro set out to recreate them as well. You probably remember that EVE is WALL-E’s inspiration and love interest – a strong-headed robot who shoots first and asks questions later. And M-O is the little cleaning droid who befriends WALL-E and helps out on his adventures… oh, and also keeps him clean! 😀

And here they are; the three partners in crime. Miro actually included step-by-step instructions for his LEGO WALL-E, so you can easily build your own (see Miro’s flickr gallery here for the instructions). With EVE and M-O although there are no step-by-step instructions right now (Miro is working on it) if you have the required elements you should be able to build your own characters by looking at the pictures in this gallery.

Also, you can visit Miro’s BrickLink shop, as he regularly puts together and releases kits to build your own WALL-E, EVE and M-O. They only costs a few dollars and include all the parts needed to build the robots as well as full instructions to assemble them. Just look under Custom Items in his BrickLink shop called The Brick Corner. (Please note that I took a current screen-shot of Miro’s store, however prices and availability can change.)

What do you think? How do you like this little LEGO WALL-E? Have you built one yet? Are there any other LEGO WALL-E creations that you really like? Feel free to share in the comment section below! 😉
