#2661 TECHNIQUE DISCUSSION: Built Backgrounds by Various Builders

A good background can take a build to new heights. But curious how to make one? A plate-built background shows the sides of the plates (or brick!). @BrickBuiltJosh used bricks and plates to not only provide a gorgeous background, but also to hide lighting for a gorgeous night scene.



But be aware: brick-built backgrounds are HEAVY! Columns help provide support.


You can use built backgrounds to either make a backdrop or to help stand in for scenery, like how @gothgirlsbricks made mountains for the back of her scene.


LEGO sets have included built backgrounds, too! Tales of the Space Age and Starry Night are two stand-out examples. If you’ve ever built a background, we’d love to see it! Share it to your story and tag us!
