So a little while back LEGO finally came out with a LEGO Log Cabin set, unfortunately I personally was let down by the fact it was a brick cabin attempting to look like a Log Cabin.

I think the reason was building a Log Cabin like the ones I build may be too hard for younger humans, but I think anyone could build like I do, just need a little help.

In the past I just gave LDR files for examples for others to build from, today I will go over the mechanics that make up my original LEGO Log Cabins designs.

So please visit my forum topic on the Mechanics of Building True LEGO Log Cabins… the right way.

I will be posting how-to, images, LDR and LDD files, and some new modular LEGO Log Cabin designs.

Enjoy

This was designed in 2009 and I thought it about time for a new design but wanted to first go over this MOC.

Setup my log cabin with a modified base to fit the community window at the Columbus Ohio LEGO ® store.

Well I had this done to this point for all most a year and figured I should post it anyway even in an unfinished state. I will have a total of 5 big trees (only 3 are done now and those need correct colored trunks). The other 2 are just the bottom trunks and shafts for the trees....

One of my favorite building techniques for building homes is the classic log cabins. In an attempt to make a log cabin out of LEGO I worked out these designs. May be some day LEGO will make a log cabin set. But until then I will give my best instructions for building with a log cabin techniques. The secret for building these are the under floors. I have Technic bricks with 4 bricks between each Technic brick......
