We get often get asked for techniques to create realistic and natural-looking rockwork, because the truth is, it's very hard to build. Luckily, Isaac Snyder a.k.a soccerkid6 has showcased how he creates his rockwork, providing the images pictured. Layers of slopes are positioned in various directions to show the studs as well as smooth surfaces, creating contrast and texture. This is built up progressively with various sized slopes, and finished at the top with curved slopes to round off the…

Grant Davis (@grantdvs1) brings us a refreshingly bright build of a serene waterfall. Take a moment and relax, and enjoy the view.

LEGO rockwork in a MOC can stand out or blend in with so many ways to build them. Here are some LEGO rockwork techniques from around the AFOL community, but be warned, things are going to get a little rocky!

Today we're sharing a small yet detailed build by great.brick on Instagram. It depicts a scene of the heroes from Lord of The Rings starting on the Paths of the Dead.There are two standouts techniques to us: firstly the floor. A rugged texture is created by using not only round tiles and studs but 1x1 slopes on their side, connected to minifigure hands to spread them out. The second highlight is the rockwork, which uses lots of studs purposefully on show to create the textured surface. The…

I have been building small houses to get an Idea of how the town layout will connect to the Islands' geography. As expected modifications are needed. There's actually nothing left of the old Module 19. I basically just built a new one. The base needed to be a lot higher (around 8 bricks high now). Also the Islands' smooth coastline will evolve into a rough one with more reliëf and capes.

The second realm Kratos and Atreus visit on their journey. The model recreates part of the river that leads to the Lake of Light. This page describes the building process and how the model became part of the decoration of Santa Monica Studio's lobby. Contains minor spoilers for God of War (2018).

The latest tutorial on Brickbuilt shows how to build slanted rockwork, like I used in my Risky Endeavor creation.

When I first saw “Floating city of Lanac” by First Order Lego (www.flickr.com/photos/157923275@N05/) I immediately thought it's an amazing idea and I need to build my own version. However, I wanted to avoid putting a support pillar in the middle of the MOC. Luckily, my father-in-law did some metalwork that inspired solution I used here. And so, "Bakłabych Fortress" came to life. I opted for early modern trace italienne fortifications on the top, something I want to build in minifig scale one…

First of all I wanted to say thank you to everybody who helped me with this build by providing me great feedback and providing me some fantastic ideas, so thank you once again. Initially The build was going to be ww2 but I decided to change it last minute due to some complication. So hopefully you all enjoyed the build and expect some more unique stuff in the future.

We've all seen some nice LEGO rocks built for castles to sit on top of. Don't you want to build your own? Use this tutorial to get started. The basic concept is to start with BURPs and LURPs and add various bricks and slopes to cover up empty holes from there.
