Harking back again… LEGO comfort food (and magic)

Continuing my comforting journey back through some LEGO sets of my youth, finding comfort in the sets of yesteryear, I am pleased to present Air Ambulance and Police Car from 1976 and 1973, respectfully. I have been very fortunate to have hung on to many of the sets and pieces from my childhood. They survived…

Comfort Food… Lego Style

In times of stress and uncertainty, we all have those certain comfort foods we lean on. AFOL’s like me often have comfort sets (in addition to comfort foods). I’m developing a list of sets I know I had as a child and beginning to dig through all the plastic containers marked “vintage” and rebuilding some…

Space Frog?

OK, I’m still working on a name for my newest spacecraft. When I started playing with the design I was trying to recreate a ship I organically built in the early 1980s. It was my Classic Space take on the SnowSpeeder from Empire Strikes back. Oh how I wish Lego had Star Wars sets in…

I like Porsche butts and I cannot lie

I freely admit it, I have a thing for Porsche. It’s not as big as my thing for Lego, but its still a thing. Aside from how they handle, how they accelerate and the raw sensation of power they evoke, they (generally) have some of the most beautiful lines of any car on the road….

Red Corner Flower Shop – a Skinny Mod MOC

Continuing the Skinny Mod theme by sharing the build of a Flower Shop modular for the Belmont Bricks Lego city. Like many of my builds, this one began when I realized I had a lot of red bricks and I could build something interesting with them. After a few fits and starts, several rebuilds and…

Dart Light Fighter 3.0

We are revisiting the Classic Space version of the Dart Light Space Fighter which was originally posted in November 2018. When I initially posted the Classic Space color scheme version, I failed to account for all those little yellow exclamation marks next to many of the parts in the Studio 2.0 model. For those of…

A MOC in Progress – Part Deux

So several months ago I showed you my Inverted Corner MOC. Since then I have continued to monkey with the design and I think I am finally getting to a place where I feel like I am almost complete. The original concept was for there to be two narrow buildings perpendicular to one another on…

Ultimate Batmobile – Retiring Soon!

I generally have a soft spot in my heart for some of the Batman sets and really liked a couple of the villain-vehicles associated with the LEGO Batman Movie. But when it comes to the ULTIMATE set in that series, that title has to go to the Ultimate Batmobile (LEGO #70917). In all its outlandish…

My beautiful and talented wife strikes again

My beautiful and talented wife is working on her second adult coloring book featuring “snowflake” designs. Her latest design makes you wonder what it would be like if it snowed minifigures? That’s a blizzard I could get excited about. Like the design? Pile of Bricks Sportswear + Casuals will be releasing this as one of…

The people and the puppies behind Belmont Bricks

A Long Explanation of a Short History: Belmont Bricks started in 2010 when I first truly embraced my emergence from the dark ages. I discovered Bricklink (www.bricklink.com) and started to buy and resell bulk parts and pieces as well as parting-out new sets. I have managed to stay active on  Bricklink over the years (I…

Elegant & simple rhythm

belmontbricksLeave a Comment on Elegant & simple rhythm

Following on from a theme a recent blog post, here we are again with a new (and odd) source of inspiration. An ad for Cadre began appearing in several of my feeds – Facebook, Twitter, etc. Apparently Cadre is a sort of cloud-sourcing real estate investment group. Sounds interesting, kinda makes me wish I had…

RowHouse from an odd inspiration

belmontbricksLeave a Comment on RowHouse from an odd inspiration

Inspiration comes from odd places at times. A couple of weeks ago as I was watching #BreakingNews about a horrible police situation in Philadelphia (in which 6 brave officers were wounded) I noticed the interesting architecture in the affected neighborhood. I managed to take a screen shot on my phone from the live local broadcast…

What’s a guy to do?

belmontbricksLeave a Comment on What’s a guy to do?

So I was making good progress on the Tower Plaza (see previous posts) and then wham! Ran out of parts.  Not all the parts, just a couple critical plates necessary to continue with the low rise masonry structure. I did what any AFOL would do in this situation – went to Bricklink and ordered the…
