R.I.P. Nate “nnenn” Nielson, LEGO Spaceship Builder Extraordinaire

Nate “nnenn” Nielson was a father, husband, artist and teacher. He also popularised the “Vic Viper” LEGO spaceships that took the AFOL community by storm. He died in an accident early this month. A few of my favourite nnenn designs:

It’s really hard to pick favourites of nnenn’s work. It was all so imaginative and clever. Take a few minutes today to browse his Flickr stream. Nielson had such a knack for LEGO spaceships.

    Here’s hoping he’s gone to the big lego bin in the sky!

    Love the work! Will miss the creativity!

    Our hearts and minds are with his family, they do not stand alone!
