Nifeliz Set

When we first started working on the Nifeliz Church model , there was no grand moment of inspiration. No lightning strike. Just a quiet idea:" What if we could recreate one of those small white churches from the American countryside?” Not for display in a museum. Not for some dramatic religious symbol. Just because they ' re beautiful, familiar, and worth remembering. That idea became our starting point.   No Single Designer. Just a Shared Vision. This project didn ' t have a single named designer. Instead, it was a team effort—led by people who simply loved architecture and wanted to capture a feeling. During the early planning phase, we went through dozens of references. Real churches. Real floor plans. We weren ' t trying to create a fantasy—we wanted something recognizable , something rooted in memory. The team pored over structural details: the color of the walls, the shape of the steeple, the way light moved through old stained-glass windows. “We weren ' t ch...

Joe Dunn ' s first prototype co uldn ' t even stand up. When his electroplated kickstand buckled under the weight of a plastic motorcycle, the veteran designer growled what every biker knows: "If it don ' t stand, it ain ' t real." What followed wasn ' t just engineering—it was a 3 a.m. rebellion against gravity itself. "This ain ' t about building a toy," Joe says, grease under his fingernails from his ' 78 Harley project. "It ' s about bottling that snap when rubber meets asphalt at sunset." His obsession? Electroplating. "Real choppers breathe chrome," he insisted, fighting for the costly, eco-friendly plating process. But when samples arrived, reality bit: plating thickened parts by 0.2mm. Pistons jammed. Axles refused to slide. "Like tryin '   to force a leather jacket three sizes too small." His solution was pure garage ingenuity: redesigned joints with "breathing room," tolerances tes...

NF10314 | 3,507 Pieces | Designer: Joe Dunn   Slogan: The heart beat of the heartland     In the quiet corners of America ' s heartland, red barns stand as silent poets—their weathered wood humming tales of harvest moons, rustling haylofts, and generations who built dreams with calloused hands. For designer Joe Dunn, capturing this soul in 3,507 plastic bricks wasn ' t just a project. It was a pilgrimage.   Chapter 1: The Red That Built America   Blood, Soil, and a Thrifty Genius   Red barns are more than icons; they ' re chemical alchemy born of necessity. In the 1800s, farmers mixed skimmed milk, lime, and ironrich soil—abundant as the heartland itself—to create a paint that shielded wood from rot and Midwest winters. The iron oxide absorbed sunlight, warming animals huddled inside. By 1922, Sears sold "barn red" for $1.43 a gallon—half the price of other colors—cementing a legacy of grit and frugality.   Joe Dunn knew this h...

 BEHIND THE SCENES: The Soil & The Spark: Growing Calm in 733 Pieces  NF10322 | Designer: Farrin Lyn | Slogan: BALANCE, HELD IN A TREE  You know that stillness under an old tree? Where sunlight pools like spilled honey and your thoughts finally unwind? Designer Farrin Lyn chased that feeling for months—only to watch her bonsai crumble. Again. And again. Here ' s how 733 plastic pieces became an anchor for our frantic world.     The Vision: Where Memory Meets Moss    "This isn ' t about copying nature," Farrin insists, brushing pine needles from her sketchbook. "It ' s about bottling a feeling—that hush under a real tree." Her Chan Bonsai (NF10322) emerged not from blueprints, but mornings watching light pierce her grandmother ' s garden.   Every curve fought her. Early trunks snapped under their own weight. "I wanted that graceful taper—slimmer at the middle, like ancient pines." But physics laughed. Her fix? Steel reinforcements disgui...

"What if tranquility could be built brick by brick? For designer Farrin Lyn, the answer lay not in grand blueprints, but in the curve of a single roof tile—a shape so delicate, it took 43 iterations to make it breathe. Welcome to a world where 1,877 pieces don’t just stack… they sing."   Chapter 1: The Poetry of Curves   Farrin Lyn didn’t design a pavilion—she composed a stanza. At the heart of the NIFELIZ Chinese Garden (NF10311) lies its six-sided pavilion, crowned by swooping eaves that defy gravity. “To capture a Chinese garden, you must first speak its language: curves,” Farrin explains. Inspired by the Humble Administrator’s Garden, she wandered real landscapes, tracing winding paths and arched bridges until her fingers memorized their flow.   Yet beauty fought with physics. Each rooftop tile, angled at 12 degrees, threatened to collapse under its own elegance. For weeks, Farrin wrestled with bricks, balancing the pavilion’s ethereal curves against structural g...
