10 ideas for new Ingress items

December 31, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood 6 Comments

Ingress is the augmented reality game from Niantic that came before Pokemon. It’s less random, has only two factions and a great community.

This incredible LEGO Bird of Prey has uncloaked

December 31, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

For the full experience check out Kevin J Walter’s Flickr stream. He first put together a proof of concept for this mighty Klingon LEGO spaceship using virtual bricks back in 2010. It has taken a good 6 years to put this complex build together and the result is surely worth the investment! I’m amazed at […]

Forging a steel d20

December 30, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In this episode the vlogsmith Gil Ramirez forges a steel d20. There’s more skill to it than I imaged as Gil’s required to hammer each face of the die by hand. He’s keen of eye enough to do this without measurement or fancy tools either – though I doubt the die is as well balanced […]

Star Wars set designer builds D&D gaming table

December 29, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The AWEsome channel is branching out. We might know the channel for weapon builds like crafting Mjonir or even the more recent AWE Artist series which has hosted projects like this steampunk R2-D2 kettle but there are even more strings to their bow. AWE also builds works of collector art for superfans and this week […]

Graceful Death Star LEGO stop motions

December 28, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Stop motions are very demanding on your time. Each tiny movement means a change, a photograph and an ever-expanding animation. Imagine how long it would take to put together a stop motion animation of a LEGO Death Star coming together. Okay, that’s your starting point. Imagine you also need to animate each step so the […]

Lightsabres into halos

December 28, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve found it hard to blog about any of the celebrity deaths in 2016. There will be as many in 2017. We’ll keep loosing some amazing icons and incredible talent. It’s hard to blog about the news since it’s so widely covered, what can Geek Native add, and how can the site avoid the trap […]
