BUGS Member Spotlight: Zhixiang’s LEGO NINJAGO 70594 Reimagined: A Custom Lighthouse Battle This impressive custom LEGO NINJAGO creation takes the 70594 The Lighthouse Siege and transforms it into a much more dramatic battle diorama. The builder has expanded the scene around the lighthouse, creating a larger environment that gives the model a stronger sense of scale and storytelling. Rather than simply displaying the building, the customisation turns it into an active battlefield filled with characters, action and detail. Building the Environment One of the most noticeable additions is the expanded landscape. Blue plates form the surrounding water, while large areas of tan bricks create a sandy shoreline around the lighthouse. A…

My Own Creation (MOC): Japanese-Themed Garden
BUGS Member Spotlight: Tristen‘s Tranquil Japanese-Themed Garden This impressive LEGO creation captures the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese garden, centred around a striking red torii gate and a large dark-tiled temple-style structure.

Instead of relying on simple clusters of identical pieces, different leaf, flower and plant elements are layered at various heights and angles. The pink and white blossoms create excellent contrast against the predominantly green landscape, while the…

My Own Creation (MOC): Rebuilding a Lost Haw Par Villa
BUGS Member Spotlight: Eugene Tan‘s lost pieces of Singapore’s iconic Haw Par Villa Haw Par Villa is one of Singapore’s most distinctive cultural landmarks, known for its colourful statues, Chinese mythology and the famous Ten Courts of Hell. But the park we see today is very different from the Haw Par Villa of the past.

The model was created through a collaboration between Studio Lapis, architectural conservationist, Jerome Ng (Paper Artist) and BUGS member Eugene Tan. From Singapore…
