Huge 8-Bit Link

The Legend Of Zelda, in all it's forms, is over 30 years old. It's amazing to me that we've been following the adventures of young Link for so long, yet every release is just as exciting as the last. The world just got Breath of the Wild, and it's absolutely stunning (and will occupy all of my spare time for probably the next year). Builder BRICK 101 is clearly a fan, and has built this amazing large scale 8-bit version inspired by the Amiibo version. Not only that, but he's made a video detailing how it's built so you can make one yourself!

I was totally a kid of the 70's and 80's, I saw the rise of the video game and the subsequent decline of pinball. And like an entire generation of kids, none of us ever had a quarter in our pocket that wasn't itching to be converted to a few minutes of pixelated fun. Now you can recreate this bygone era with Chris McVeigh's charming little modular arcade. You can get instructions and full kits at his website chrismcveigh.com

Review - Geeky LEGO Crafts

Geek culture is a little hard to define. Does that mean Star Wars and Doctor Who fans? Magic the Gathering players? Cosplayers and prop builders? It's sort of all those things, and a million more. It falls under my mantra of "fearless passion", or celebrating and sharing love for something without caring what others think. Sometimes it takes us a while to embrace our own geekdom, but when you really decide you're a nerd, and seek out other like-minded nerds, you'll be so much happier. So what does this have to do with this book?

Build This Earth, Moon And Sun Orrery!

Mechanical mad genius JK Brickworks is back with another fun project, and something that everyone needs on their desk, an Orrery. I'd call it simple, because it just has the sun, earth and moon, but as you can see in the picture and video, it's far from it. It's also surprisingly accurate in rotation and orbit, having cycles that are really close to the actual celestial bodies. And with instructions generously shared by the builder, you can make your own!
