Brick Sketches

First Order Stormtrooper

This Brick Sketches set turns a First Order Stormtrooper helmet into a flat, portrait-style build rather than a traditional minifigure model. It's made from 151 pieces and 55 unique parts, using LEGO®'s mosaic-like approach to recreate a recognisable Star Wars silhouette for the wall rather than the shelf. The full, colour-coded parts list follows below.

Description

A near-monochrome build

White, black, red and light bluish grey make up the palette, and the balance leans heavily towards white and black, matching the stormtrooper's armour and visor. Red most likely appears as an accent or background tone, giving the otherwise monochrome portrait some contrast. With 55 unique parts across 151 pieces, the build mixes plenty of small, flat elements within a fairly narrow colour range, which is typical of the Brick Sketches format, keeping material and colour changes to a minimum across the whole build.

Portrait, not playset

Brick Sketches sets swap vehicles and minifigures for a flat, framed portrait built entirely from studs and plates, so this set contains no minifigure at all — just the stormtrooper likeness itself, ready to stand or hang. It's a different way of collecting Star Wars characters, aimed at builders who want a display piece for a wall or shelf rather than a play-focused model. It's a compact option too, since there's no vehicle or extra scenery competing for space in the box.

Building a small gallery

At 151 pieces, the build is quick enough to finish in one sitting, and the finished portrait reads clearly as its Star Wars subject despite the flat format. Because several characters have been released in the same style, it's easy to build up a small gallery of matching portraits over time without needing much display space for each one. It's a format that rewards collecting more than one, since a single portrait alone reads a little sparse on a large wall.

Useful outside the Star Wars context too

Even setting the licensed subject aside, the parts list on this page gives a clear look at how many white, black and grey elements go into a portrait build of this size. That's a useful reference point for anyone planning their own mosaic-style project, without needing to take the finished model apart to check. It's a small but genuine data point for judging how detailed a 150-piece portrait build can get.
