LEGO Apple Watch: Time Pieces
We’ve seen a felt model of Apple’s polarizing smartwatch. Professional LEGO builder Chris McVeigh aka Power Pig made an equally cute LEGO version of the watch and showed it off on his blog and Facebook page.
His fans liked the model so he made a building guide for it. Chris actually has two LEGO Apple Watch variants: one with the home screen and one with a text message notification.
Force touch this link to Chris’ website to download the guides for free.

LEGO Atari 2600 & TV Diorama: My Old Basement
The latest custom LEGO set from professional builder Chris “Powerpig” McVeigh is for 80s kids. It has an Atari 2600, a TV, a few toys and trinkets and most of all a drab orange and brown rug. You can practically feel the fibers under your feet, eternally damp from sweat and spilled drinks.
Man I forgot TV screens used to bulge like that. You can pre-order the My Old Basement set for $90 (USD). If you already have one of Chris’ My First TV ’80s sets, you can save by getting just the diorama’s base. Chris says the toys and household objects included in the set may vary depending on supply. As always Chris will also upload the set’s building guide on his website.
