Bricks issue 14 available now
Posted by Huw,
Here's the press release for the latest issue of Bricks magazine:
Bricks issue 14 delivers the indispensable guide to the world of LEGO colours.
The range of LEGO colours available delights most fans, providing us with a near-infinite choice of ways to style and theme our creations. We have never had it so good when it comes to a pallete of shades and hues, infact the choice can sometimes feel overwhelming. Well fear as Bricks is on hand to guide you through the world of colour.
Bricks have rallied some of the LEGO world’s leading experts and pooled their resources to provide you with an indispensable guide to colour. There is everything from a history of LEGO colours, which includes the full spectrum of what was available and when, to a custom LEGO colour wheel to help you choose complimentary or contrasting schemes for your build. There is also a look at the science of colour through the eyes of Tom Alphin and Lucy Boughton considers the many colours of minifigures. There has been no Stone Grey left unturned and the team has pulled together one of the most thorough guides to LEGO colours to date.
Moving on to models, we step into the colourful world of the Friends amusement park range; a summer wave that is not only full of details and playability but has spawned some great new pieces. Keeping things bright, Tim Goddard brings bold colours to his microscale spaceships and we even jump on board the mining ship Red Dwarf.
In addition Bricks catches up with LEGO Product Designer Justin Ramsden, 18 months after his successful job application which was followed by The Secret World of LEGO documentary last year. Swebrick’s LDD instruction master Anders Horvath gives a tutorial before our build experts, James Pegrum and Luke Hutchinson, provide another healthy dose of how-tos. This month we also launch our new technique series from Li Li and his blog, MOC Recipes. He starts the series with a thorough rundown of SNOT pieces and their uses.
There is all this and much, much more including masterclasses, reviews, news and products. I hope you enjoy the issue as I really feel we have, once again, raised the bar in the world of LEGO entertainment.
With 124 pages packed full of inspirational models and exclusive features Bricks is the premier LEGO fan magazine. With a price of just £4.99, why accept anything less?

I'm sure "Bricks" is a good magazine, but the website needed to buy any copies is hopeless. No sample views, no indication of what precisely the "digital format" is, and no FAQ.
In a world where the print industry is dying, these boys aren't doing themselves any favours.
I'll not bother, thanks.
Ah and I imagine the article considers whether bley and reddish brown are actually judged to be better than grey and brown respectively! Judging by the detailed description the content is very evenly matched with the content I'm reading right now from Blocks on holiday (hence Spain in my IP address) Unfortunately it's a little more difficult to find print versions of Bricks in WHSmith, which is where I almost always get my magazines.
Well, I still haven`t received issue 11 and 13. Bricks are not responding to any of my emails over the last months!!!
I received Issue 14 today. Issue 13 was only received last week. I think the colour articles are quite interesting and a lot more in depth than simply comparing bley and grey as suggested above. I was disappointed with the Blocks Magazine this month, Far too much on Freemaker Adventures which I have no interest in.
@Space:1979 fully agree, firstly they had a problem with ordering digital versions, they fixed issue, but forgot to write me about it.
Now i have finally ordered and paid for a couple of digital issues. But of course i still haven't got them in their web app. I understand that they got money mostly for paper version, but may be then they shouldn't sell digital version, if they couldn't setup infrastructure for it.
