Lavender fields forever

Nannan Zhang, a member of RebelLUG and a former TBB alum, has created a stunning medieval farm scene featuring blooming lavender fields. This build, originally part of a collaborative castle display at Brickworld Chicago, showcases innovative techniques and an elegant presentation.

The build's beauty lies in its departure from a rigid grid, incorporating various angles. The lavender field is cleverly skewed using 2x3 wedge plates, while the path features simple landscaping for an asymmetrical appearance, enhanced by gently curving fences. The farmhouse is a standout feature, utilizing a "D-snot" technique paired with rounded tiles to create a distinctive stone finish. This method, described by Nannan as parts-intensive and time-consuming, adds a unique touch to the LEGO house.

A glimpse inside the farmhouse reveals the intricate details of the D-snot technique, creating a cozy home for the lavender farmer. The farmer is currently depicted picking lavender in the fields.

To see how the farm was integrated into the original collaborative build, check out the video shared by RebelLUG from the Brickworld Chicago event. If you're inspired to create your own farm scene, you might find a LEGO baseplate helpful.
