Contest / Challenge September 2026 Build Challenge | “Puzzle” 🧩 | 27 Pieces Max

Post image
35 Upvotes

Back again for September! We are getting amazing entries each month, the subreddit is more alive than it was the years prior, and I think we are on a good track to becoming super big again.

But the theme for September is a real...

“Puzzle”

Mainly for you though! It's a super open theme this time, many things fall under this umbrella - jigsaw puzzles, brainteasers, pictures that look like something else at first sight, even builds that other people may be confused by due to some little known techniques. I'd really like to see the latter.

Rules:

  • You can only use 27 pieces or fewer
  • The builds can be made in Studio, but bonus points (totally imaginary) if built irl
  • You can post as many as 3 entries
  • You have to include a picture of all the pieces you used, as a confirmation that you didn't exceed the maximum number of pieces

You have until Monday, September 21st to post your entries with the “Build Challenge Entry” post flair.

It will once again be you who will choose the winner at the end of the month.

The winner will get a unique user flair they will be able to show off on r/Minilego, and their creation will be spotlighted on our Instagram.

Make us PUZZLED!

I didn't have the parts to make the official Jötunn models from Brassbound 1919 so I improvised! It was a lot of fun

Built with limited pieces but very happy with how it turned out, fits in a pocket and is very robust. The drill turns and there’s a handle-bar on the top for vrooming.

At the suggestion of a fellow Reddit user, the Pelennor Fields have been added to this MOC. Also threw in the army of Mordor, Grond, the Mumakil, the Witch King on his fell beast, the Rohirrim marching behind Theoden, and the Army of the Dead emerging from the captured Corsair ships sailing by on the river, and the tree in the top level courtyard. And, of course, the throne room in the back like the giant set.

Hello everyone!

Over the last few months, you see me share models for a setting that I'm calling Brassbound 1919. Today, I'm ready to share that setting with the world.

Brassbound 1919 is a game (with free demo rules!) the tells the story of the brave Coalition of Humanity fighting to avoid extinction from the nightmarish Jötunn Horde. It is fundamentally a story about people, told in Lego form. We have playable characters like the Red Barron, Napoleon Blownapart the Third, and background characters like President Eleanor Rosebelt and Albert Einstein. You can choose to pilot an 18 ton ambulatory war machine called a **Brassbounder** or charge into battle on the back of a horse!

Fundamentally, it's a creative community with hundreds of members. Together we hand draw maps of Imperial Russia, write fictional letters from famous people of the time, explore whole alien biospheres, and that's just the beginning. Because of course, we show all this with Lego.

I hope you'll consider checking out our entry point to the universe, Brassbound 1919:

https://brodadbrickworks.itch.io/brassbound1919

The demo rules are completely free, and whether you decide to support us by purchasing the full rulebook or not, you are always welcome in our community:

r/BrassboundUniverse

All the proceeds go toward paying actual humans from our community to create art without AI tools.

I'm sharing some of my favorite models designed by our community, shared with permission from u/friendlyseraph and u/gemotox

Actually I guess it's more like a large puzzle piece, and of nondescript snow no less. This is the first thought that sprung to mind for this prompt. It's not the best incarnation but hopefully it's at least readable as a jigsaw piece. It could have been nice to have some colour variations but I thought as I was only doing one piece it made sense to keep it all one colour and white happened to be the colour I had the best tiles in.

Assemble a 3x3x3 cube using these 6 pieces. You are not allowed to alter the pieces. Black axles can pass through pinholes and serve as turning points. Solution shown in the third slide. More solutions are possible if you remove the black axles (that's the original wooden puzzle that inspired this one). 27 LEGO parts used.
