How to Build a Custom LEGO

LEGOs are so fun because you can release your inner child and build whatever you feel like. The amount of creative freedom you have with LEGO building blocks is staggering. Just take a good look at the custom Ghost Rider above on Brickshelf. Look at the full gallery of the Ghost Rider custom LEGO here. Custom LEGOs are a labor of love and take many hours to construct, so read the steps carefully so you don't miss a beat.

Step 1
Decide what you want to build. If you start building something with no idea, then it will be hard to fix a mistake.

Step 2
Create a battle plan. Determine what color blocks you will need and what pieces.

Step 3
Obtain images of the thing you want to build if it something that already exists. If you are trying to build a LEGO Transformer, then obtaining some good reference pictures will help the final product turn out the way that you want it to. Draw a rough sketch of the custom LEGO design you want to build if you cannot obtain reference pictures.

Step 4
Build the LEGO design that you want with LEGO bricks. Take your time. Make sure that each piece is firmly locked into the pieces that it is connecting to.
