A few years ago, Lego began offering a set called Lego Ideas that allowed fans to submit ideas for new sets. The most successful ones go through an extensive process to make them into official releases. These new designs allow fans to create models that are extremely detailed and are not found in other sets. Through this process that the awesome Voltron set was created. The set lets players build all five mechanical lions and then – after some reassembling join them to create the legendary Voltron.
Other fan-created sets include this tribute to Japan’s most renowned mountain. The set is huge in size and is packed with lots of cool detail that you won’t find in any other sets. It’s also an excellent way to show off your love for Japan.
Another impressive creation is this tribute to the Star Wars franchise. The set contains all the iconic weapons from the Star Wars series, and a lot more than you’d typically find in an assortment. It’s one of the most impressive sets we’ve seen in many years.
Professional Lego artists have been making impressive Lego creations for a long time. One such artist is Mariann Nathan, who has been a freelance Lego designer for several years and is currently. Her portfolio includes everything from replicas of famous landmarks, to a life-sized pirate and a four-foot ladybug.
Another important Lego artist is David Hughes, who recreates famous artworks in brick form. He has a sculpture of Afternoon of a Faun on sale, but be warned that it’s not cheap.
