LEGO Ideas: Baby Builds

Baby Builds
For the past year or so, I've been doing a series of builds pairing the LEGO baby with full-sized helmets. These builds have been popular enough that I decided to go all the way and make an Ideas project out of them! After a lot of brainstorming and building, Baby Builds was finally born.



A castle was an absolute must. In fact, my first Tiny Trailblazer was a castle.



At first, I had a bit of landscape surrounding the moat. But that made the water too hard to see, and the size of the vignette was starting to overshadow the baby. So I cut back and made it simpler.




The explorer was actually the last addition to the Baby Builds lineup. A bit of green foliage and some nature seemed to be a good complement to the rest of the builds.


This hat is one of the easiest to pose nicely on the baby!


A spaceship was a must, and since a realistic space shuttle has already been done by Ideas, I went for Classic Space.


I'm not much of a spaceship builder myself, but after getting some classic space inspiration this came together!




Along with a castle, I had decided that a ship was a must. Unfortunately, the recent Ideas Barracuda Bay put a pirate ship out of the question. Otherwise a revamped version of my best Tiny Trailblazer - the Captain - would certainly have been coming. Instead, I built a longship.


The hull follows the same basic design as my earlier galleon, but with only one large sail, the overall ship is a lot simpler!
