Who could resist a challenge to build an icon? This brick Mini Cooper may be only eight studs wide, but it was a real challenge to retain the distinctive grille, sloping headlights, contoured hood and sporty essence in a build of this size. Built as a commissioned piece for a special birthday girl, this Mini Cooper used more than 280 parts and took two months to design. Please share this if you like it!

Hi just to share… I was featured in a Singapore newspaper for these Chinese New Year creations! There's also a video interview by the same folks from The New Paper – includes footage on how the brick horse is made: Here is the link to the online version: http://tnp.sg/backst...ng-brick-artist Hope you like it.

Enter the Eagle at Singapore Airshow 2014! This brick F-15SG comprises more than 150 parts and took more than half a year to design. It was quite a challenge to get it true to scale at this size. I’ve added in details like the airbrake and missiles, and built the wings sideways to make them as smooth as possible. The new 1x2 slope (part 11477) worked really well here. Hope you like it.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! The challenge here was to create the smallest possible horse with poseable legs, and the simplest way to convey the grace of the traditional Chinese character for horse. More festive creations to come! www.facebook.com/bricksbencreations www.flickr.com/photos/bricksben www.bricksben.com

Here’s a page from the past! This is a brick tribute to Motorola’s Bravo Plus numeric pager. Back in the 1990s, before there was WhatsApp or Candy Crush, you’re way cool if you’ve got this beeper on your pants (or in your handbag). Never mind that you still need to find a payphone to return the page. A true classic.

Hello from sunny Singapore! With a few days more to Christmas Day, I'd like to share some festive creations with you. All aboard! Have a chuggin’ Christmas with this little locomotive. The Choo Choo Mini comprises 50 parts and is a great example of what you can achieve when you build in different directions. Little Rudolph says hi to an 8-bit reindeer from the eighties. Twinkle, twinkle. Here are three views of the next Christmas creation. Can you guess what this is?

Cyber terrorists… or anonymous crusaders? Criminals or hacktivists? You decide.

This mega-wheelchair may look mean and sturdy next to my earlier, smaller version, but it’s still no match for Singapore’s urban jungle. Firsthand experience from a recent accident has shown that there is a lot more we can do to improve accessibility for the disabled. Cheers!
