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 music and album covers, we created a cassette tape!
Building a Microscope
The cassette tape was a game-changer back in the day, making music portable and personal. To celebrate this retro classic, our design stays true to the real thing. It has curved corners, tape reels, a label, and even the little clear window that shows the tape inside.
Building this set is like hitting play on nostalgia. It’ll take you back to the days of making mixtapes for your buddies and recording your favorite song from the radio. And it ever implements a sweet little stud inversion on the sides to keep things interesting. So get your pencils out because it is time to be kind and rewind!
