🎣 GIVEAWAY TIME Here’s my collab with @Brickwith as part of the Brickwith+ launch, I’m giving away three copies of the build! ✦ ✧ ✦ How to enter ✦ ✧ ✦ Follow @clicklever Like this post Comment on the post 💬 (NO FUNNY BUSINESS) Three winners will receive one set each, open to Australian residents only 🇦🇺 Closes 20 Apr 2026 at 10:00 pm, AEST Winners drawn at random and announced via stories + DMs so check ur inbox 📩 —— This was an open brief built for designers, for me, the goal was to capture something observational rather than dramatic. I was thinking about quiet moments; the kind of peace you only get when you’re focused on something simple. Fishing felt right. It’s patient, and a bit mysterious too. You don’t know what’s under the water, and I liked the idea of putting a few fun surprises under there (it was very important to me that I put a mini SpongeBob and Patrick in the build). The model is made up of 520 pieces across 194 elements, designed as a shelf-friendly, display piece. Honestly, having access to the Brickwith palette was one of the most exciting parts of this build. The LEGO system has very few transparent blue tiles and panels, so suddenly having a whole range of recolours to play with was incredible. It was kind of why I chose a water scene! I tried to use as much as possible, mixing non-system shades to make the water feel alive. It was a real treat to build with colours that I don’t normally have access to. #lego #legomoc #brickwith #spongebob #afol moc getleanfast customlego legoindustrialcomplex legocreation toyphotography studsintheblood

🥕 Meet the Meadowbound Bunny V2 — faster than a dropped carrot, lighter than a freshly plucked dandelion, and far less likely to chew your charging cables. Give the crank a spin and watch it take flight. Not literally (my insurance won’t cover that), but close enough.

🧗‍♂️ Hold on Tight! Some people do yoga to stay grounded. I go vertical. ⬆⬆⬆ This little LEGO build is my love letter to @blochaus_bouldering —the sport that lights up every part of me: brain, body, fingers, forearms, and whatever part controls reckless optimism. It’s joy. It’s struggle. It’s mainly struggle. I wanted to capture that feeling in LEGO: the chaos of colour, the weird little brushes, the chalk-dusted bottles, the friend on the ground yelling “JUST GO UP!!”. anyway dm me for climbing vids cos I always love to SEND IT 🪖💢 This is war. And the enemy is a dual-tex foothold the size of a pistachio. #LEGO #Bouldering #BlocHaus #IndoorClimbing #AFOL #ChalkUp #LEGOBuild #SendIt #CrimpLife #LEGOPhotography #BuiltToClimb #betablocks

[⧖] Some more shots of Transmission Received — a mech, a tiny city, and a firmware patch marked ‘FINAL_FINAL_v2’ I’ve always wanted to merge a love of mechs and microcities into one expressive LEGO build. Not a battle scene - maybe reboot? The idea was to contrast scale and story. A towering mech in a tiny, urban centre experiencing mild unplanned protection. There’s a interesting custom hexagonal base (thanks to @lara_bricks for the geometry collaboration!), a translucent blade, an experimental use of a soccer stand for a body, and more lime green than any mech probably needs. I was also inspired by Into the Breach, classic anime silence, and @jeff_works micro futurism. Also: shoutout to @moko_bricks for the head inspiration! Now here’s the part where you come in: This model is up on LEGO Ideas! If you’d like to see it as a real set someday, you can support it here: 🔗 /5e9dhb6x No account needed if you’ve ever logged into literally anything on a LEGO site [✓] It has a story.

🇦🇺 Sydney Postcard – Circular Quay in Bricks G’day from Sydney! This micro-scale MOC is a mini tribute to the vibrant harbour city I call home. If you’d like to build your own, the instructions are now on Rebrickable (link in bio). 📍 About the Build This postcard-style diorama captures the iconic sweep of Circular Quay, where Sydney’s skyline meets the water in a bold splash of geometry and colour. From left to right, you’ll spot: • The Westpac Rescue Helicopter taking off over Rose Bay (probably dodging a parking fine), • The unmistakable sails of the Sydney Opera House, • A classic ferry terminal, • The golden spike of Centrepoint Tower standing tall behind the Harbour Bridge arch, • The vertical lines of 201 Elizabeth Street and ANZ Place, • And a ferry gliding smugly across the harbour, like it knows it’s in a postcard. I’ve even snuck in the jacarandas blooming along the waterfront and a couple of inner-city parks for good measure. I've also included three, free custom tile designs you can use for you model. 💬 Behind the Scenes This was a real community build—thanks to everyone who voted and helped shape the design. You all get one (1) LEGO Bar 1L with Clip from my collection as a token of gratitude. 🧱 Part Count & Dimensions • Total Parts: 276 • Dimensions: 19.0 x 6.8 x 13.7 studs (15.2 x 5.4 x 11.0 cm) • Weight: ~157g • Estimated cost (Bricklink): ~$26.85 USD © 2025 Nick Lever / clicklever #legoarchitecture #legopostcard #sydneyharbour #afol #legomoc #legobuilds #sydneyharbour @tourismnsw #tourismnsw

🗡️🍂 I originally built these back in October. Because that’s what October demands: orcs. But for Brickbuilt Sydney, I decided to revisit them. Tweak the posing. Rework the bases. Give them the kind of subtle upgrades that only I will notice and you will politely pretend to appreciate (thank you). Each one has a distinct body type, biome, and stat focus—Magic, Strength, and Dexterity (classic RPG loadout). A Shaman represents magic, a Warboss represents strength and a Hunter who represents dexterity and guile. I’ve been trying to give more attention to the quiet parts of my builds—the foundations, the landscape, the way a base can tell its own story. It’s something I’ve always admired in @thesecretwalrus ’ work: every model feels grounded in a world, and exploring the base is just as fun as the build itself. If you zoomed in on the bases, I love you. If you didn’t, please lie in the comments 📜✨ #LEGO #LEGOMOC #LEGOPhotography #Orctober #BrickBuilt #DiplomacyIsForElves #WarlockEnergy #ClubIsMyStarSign

Hi! I’m Nick—the builder behind this MOC. LEGO tends to lean a little Eurocentric. Castles. Trains. Vikings. You know the drill. So I wanted to break the mould a bit—and build something with a distinctly Middle Eastern feel. This one’s packed with odd parts! Pretend this is a @tipsandbricks post and see if you can spot: 🔍 Palm Tree Trunk (2536e) 🔍 Infinity Stone (36451a) 🔍 Ninjago Skull Helmet (18962) 🔍 A cannon, taken apart and emotionally repurposed (x110c01) This is one of the models I’ll be displaying at @brickbuiltsydney this year. Built in collaboration with the lovely folks at @legomiddleeast 🌙 Can’t wait for you to see it in person—and maybe even spot a few surprises tucked away. @legobuilds #ThePathUnfolds #AFOL #moc #legomoc #brickbuiltsydney #legomiddleeast #unexpectedpartsusage #buildwithpurpose #middleeasternmoc #thatscannon #camel #legoart #bricksculpture #legobuilds

🏴‍☠️ In 2021 I had not touched a LEGO brick in over 20 years. My last known creation was probably a car with no roof and four steering wheels. It was revolutionary (no one liked it). Since then, life got louder. Busier. More ‘grown-up.’ I was pulled out of retirement in 2022 when I got cast on LEGO Masters, probably because they sensed I had the exact kind of vibe that might visibly unravel on camera. I didn’t win anything, but I did learn a lot. And then, I suppose, I simply didn’t stop. No matter if the ideas were weird, unmarketable, or structurally illegal. I kept building for some reason. Eventually, I made something that didn’t collapse under its own weight and entered it into the LEGO Ideas x LEGO House intake challenge. And for reasons that are still under investigation, it got selected. So I packed it up, shipped it from Australia to Denmark; and then: I flew across the world, walked into the LEGO House in Billund, and there it was. My creation, sitting in the Green Zone. Between actual geniuses. Proper builders who actually know how to build a triangle without looking at @brothersbrickofficial archives. Not front and centre. Not the biggest or the boldest. But it was there. So from nothing in 2021… to a display in LEGO House in 2024; if you need a moral from the story, maybe it’s this: Make stuff. Even if it’s dumb. Even if you’re bad at it, like I am. Even if the world is crumbling and joy can feel kinda rare. Sometimes it leads you to Denmark. Sometimes you get a nameplate and museum lighting. 📷 @legohouse 📷 @emmapainedp #lego #legohouse #billund #greenzone #moc #afol #fromlosertoloser #revengearc #quietachievement #creativejourney #brickbybrick #legomasters #legoideas #greenbrickszn #fromsydneytobillund #stillbuymystufffromkmart

🐪 المسار المنكشف / The Path Unfolds The wind carves scars into the dunes, the moon a phantom caught between rising and falling. A lone rider moves between them, his silhouette etched into sand and sky. The desert knows him. It has known his kind before. His robes, tattered by time, whisper against the wind. His arm—brass-plated joints, synthetic muscle—hums beneath the sun’s unyielding gaze. In his grasp, a high-gain scanner flickers to life, sifting the sands. He seeks no wealth, no conquest—only knowledge. The desert shifts. The old world lingers beneath the dust, waiting for those who dare to unearth it. #lego #legomocs #legobuilds #camel #🐪 @legobuilds

🚗➡️🤖 BATTLE MODE: ENGAGE Once, they were just five tiny vehicles— but when the world needed a hero, they all understood one thing: the right connections make all the difference. Another in a series of small builds under 100 parts, made in collaboration with @mcsaatchigroup and @mcsaatchiaunz . Have fun building five vehicles, then combine them into a powerful mech. Honestly, I think LEGO needs more small sets with fewer parts but more imagination. I’m mailing out free instructions to anyone who can solve this equation: what’s 3 × 3 🤔🤔🤔 Would you build this? Or do you just want to see what kind of parking ticket this thing would get?

Be Excellent to Each Other Respect, kindness, and understanding—because everyone’s got their own journey. We play fair, lift each other up, and treat every creature (big or small) with the care they deserve. 🐘⚖️🐭 Built with vibrant LEGO System colours, this seesaw reminds us that life’s better when we lift each other up—because you can’t play on a seesaw without a friend! Another look at a series of small builds under 100 parts, made in collaboration with @mcsaatchigroup and @mcsaatchiaunz .
