Instructions to Create a LEGO Builder’s Studio

For each issue of BrickJournal Magazine, the BrickNerd team creates instructions for a LEGO mini-model to go with the theme of the cover story. For their recent issue about minifigures, we created a LEGO builder’s dream studio.

Building a LEGO Studio

To celebrate the minifigure, we decided to make a studio for all their building needs. Who doesn’t need a sleek building desk for their LEGO hobby? The studio has drawers full of colorful pieces, a stack of baseplates on the floor, a nifty angled lamp, and even some awesome gear on the walls for decoration.

Some of those decorations include a Classic Space tile from the Galaxy Explorer and a LEGO logo brick from the 1970s! You can, of course, customize your studio habitat with whatever you like. Imagine a studio with the shield of your favorite Castle faction or the dark red LEGO tile from the Pickup Truck hanging on the wall. You can customize it to your heart’s content.

Here are the step-by-step instructions to build the LEGO studio:

One last fun build is the red rolling chair. The plump cushion is made with an inverted boat stud and the back of the chair is made from an old school rigid minifigure cape that hasn’t been produced in red since 1998.

All that’s left to complete the builder’s studio is to add yourself as a minifigure!
