This thing defies the eyes! I've never seen robotics and greeblies blended so seamlessly. Check out those legs! It's like Gundam meets ED209 and a little Borg cube thrown in for flavor, amazing. The background is a bit distracting, it almost looks like a grainy photo but it's actually textured.
I've had plenty of friends try and get me into Dr. Who, and try as I might, I've never been able to get into it. I've also never been able to understand how carwash vacuums equipped with plungers are scary. But there's no doubting their popularity, and these renditions by LegoAvon are spot on.
Out in the open sea lies the Island of Ascilly, and it's lovely. I love the arched windows, the details on the tower and irregular roofing. So much detail in a relatively small castle. A great build by The /\rchitect.
This scene from Simon S. is gorgeous. I like to think when I get caught in a temporal rift or wormhole and find myself transported back in time to the middle ages I will end up in a place like this. Where I will use my mad computer skills to convince the locals I'm a wizard and get free bread and stuff.
For some reason this mech by SPECTRE reminds me of a shop class teacher I had in middle school. You know the type, preaching about safety and pointing at you with his three remaining figures. As far as mechs go, this thing is pretty beefy. It looks like it means business.
The Ironbuilder challenge between Pasukaru76 & Gilcelio is still going, and no matter which one of those two is victorious, we all win. This latest MOC by Pasukaru76 is very zen, I feel more relaxed just looking at it.
Truth is, I don't know. According to builder the oneman it's inspired by Bladerunner and Ian McQue. All I know is it looks very odd and very cool. The photo is nice too, it almost has a painterly quality about it.
I'm a kid of the 80's. Part of the generation that played PONG, wore parachute pants and dumped countless quarters into arcade machines. A somewhat later arrival to the 8-bit game revolution was this game, Rampage. It was the first game I know of where you scored points for not only smashing the crap out of everything, but even eating those pesky humans. Good times, good times.
Check out this aquarium from Joshua Morris. It has everything you want in aquatic, decorative pets. Colorful fish, interesting decorations, attractive framing. Not only is it beautiful, but way easier to manage the salinity than the real thing.
As if the Fire Chief wasn't spectacular enough, Guy Himber has gone and upped the ante. No show car this amazing is ever driven to it's destination, it's towed. Then rolled off and lovingly rubbed with a diaper. Guy is also occasionally lovingly rubbed with a diaper (this is how rumors start).
Check out the walls of this MOC by Gideon_83. With a combination of color, profile bricks, mixed plate and construction, the effect is excellent. I also love an epic MOC that tells the story of a mundane task, in this case a wall repair project underway.
I was holding off on posting this in hopes that a video would be made available, but I'll just have to update if one surfaces. This thing actually walks! I think Ryan Kessler said it best when he asked "is castle punk a thing?" It has a pretty cool back story too, click through to read.
MikeVd builds some excellent figures, and his latest don't disappoint. I can't decide what I like the most about these, there's just too much to love. Check out the laced boots, the tank tread dress, the posing, it's all top notch.
OK, tell the truth, you glanced at this pic and thought for one fleeting, optimistic moment it might be an official UCS set didn't you? This is a seriously big, beautiful ship from ~The Steads~. I really wish LEGO would have gotten the rights to Star Trek, instead of a certain other brand of bricks. Maybe then we would have gotten something this cool.
BrickBucki has been experimenting with plate angling and the results have been pretty spectacular. This all-seeing eye is pure art, in both it's build and photography. I can only imagine how delicate this must be.
Jon Hall knows his way around aircraft. His latest offering blends futuristic forms and vintage styling cues. That camo is brilliant. Check out the dual 8 barrel guns on the front of this thing, and cockpit is great.
Flickr newcomer Yo-Sub Joo unleashed a slew of pictures recently, some of them new and some dating back a bit. These micro scale builds caught my eye. They're ridiculously clean, like architectural models. Just beautiful.
This is a mashup worth blogging. If Bruce Wayne lived at the turn of the century (the previous one that is) we can imagine this what Batman might have been. A steam powered tumbler...excellent.
Tyler's E-MOTE seems to have really struck a chord, knock-offs & homages are starting to appear all over the place. This one by Sean & Steph Mayo is inspired by both E-MOTE and everyone's favorite restaurant to hate, McDonalds. Ba ba ba ba ba, I'm lovin' it.
More tributes to Nnenn continue to show up, like this nifty little craft by Doctor Mobius. The color scheme on this is great, very eye-catching. My favorite details are the checkerboards on one size with a subtle asymmetry on the other side and the little 1x1 round tiles on the sides. It's small attentions to detail like this that separate a good MOC from a great MOC.
