Ah, So That’s What A Moving Engine Made Of LEGO Looks Like

When it comes to make LEGO engines, it’s hard to beat Rolls Royce’s 152,000-piece Trent 1000, but the doesn’t mean we should give up entirely. In fact, we should follow the example of YouTube user “Solde1″ and his plastic V16 4AGE engine.


LEGO Bricks Are Surprisingly Resistant To Slow-Motion Explosions

Those crazy Slow-Mo guys are destroying anything they can possibly get their hands on this week. Today, it’s a house made from LEGO.
