Since my childhood, Lego has held a special place in my heart – it was a favourite present to ﬁnd under the Christmas treeandafavouritegametoplayinfreeme.

Many years have passed and I rushed to adulthood. And so for many years the beloved toy was abandoned in a forgoen box, unl one Christmas Eve few years ago when, aer many years, I found a big raling box under the Christmastreeagainandlong-forgoenfeelings–excitementandchildishjoy–havereturned.

Since receiving this beauful gi, I have rediscovered my old passion and my Lego collecon has grown, enlarged by numerousothersets.JustlikewhenIwasachild,Ialsostartedtocreatemyownprojectsfromthescratch.

I have become an architect because I had discovered my passion for construcons through Lego. But it could have been so much easier if only I had become a Lego Designer in the ﬁrst place!

Rocking Horse

At the top of the ladder, there was an ac ﬁlled with the scent of dust and memories, accompanied by the echoes of a past life hidden among the objects le behind by previous generaons. The light streaming through a small window illuminated a corner of the room, where a beauful wooden rocking horse stood—a toy that had brought joy and laughter to children for decades.

My Lego model, tled Rocking Horse, represents this meless toy cherished by children around the world. It has a retro aesthec, featuring a steed adorned with an ornate saddle and bridle. The color palee enhances its elegant beauty, comprising white, grey, dark red, silver, and gold.

I focused intently on the model's realism, proporons, and historical charm. Each detail was craed with great care. If you look closely, you will noce some creave uses of familiar elements: brooms serve as decorave fringes, a bicycle frame forms part of the srrup, and even a bunch of bananas is used as the horse's mane.

NEW2025! WinterDeer AdultsWelcome

Winter Deer

The gentle rustle of the wind through plants resng in their winter slumber, the snow blankeng the last leaves and bare branches, the frost glistening in the shadows of the winter sun... And then, suddenly, other sounds emerge—the so creaking of snow beneath the strong hooves of the king of the forest: the majesc deer

I designed a realisc model of one of my favorite animals, the deer. The deer is unparalleled in its elegance, grace, and beauty, while also embodying strength and power. It is both a symbol of midity and ﬂeengness, as well as vigilance and speed. The model is set on a decorave base that depicts a detailed winter landscape.

Model

For me, it was essenal to select the right colors for the deer. Ulmately, I chose reddish-brown as the primary color and dark brown as an accent. The winter scene is created using LEGO bricks in shades of grey, olive green, sand yellow, and white. I aimed to represent the snow and ice as naturally as possible, incorporang many transparent elements. I deliberately avoided using blue tones to maintain harmony, delicacy, and realism.

To capture the animal's true form and proporons, I studied numerous photographs and models. I used a variety of brick shapes, with curved and rounded pieces being the most helpful. Special care was taken to accurately depict the legs, body, and head. To emphasize the streamlined lines of the deer, I incorporated an element originally designed for gales and leaves. My goal was for the LEGO model to retain the elegance and charm of a real deer while being a beauful decorave piece suitable for any home.

This project is a real build, completed between January and March 2025. The ﬁnal measurements are as follows:

Depth: 14.3 cm

Length: 30.5 cm

Height: 40 cm

P.S. If you look closely at the ornament on the stag's chest, you may noce an unusual use of bricks typically intended for broomscks:)
