The current LEGO Ideas' contest is called 50 years of Dungeons & Dragons! where they are asking members to design builds inspired by Dungeons & Dragons with between 100 and 3,000 pieces which could potentially be turned into a LEGO set. I thought I would give it a go! In my build, which I [...]

Some more updates from my current build, now with added structures and vehicles! I am currently in the process of building an Ice Planet 2002 themed display which I aim to show in 2023. Currently I am getting to work on a lot more of the detail beyond just terrain, as well as playing [...]
