Duel In The Deep
/Clearly there will be no punches pulled in this Iron Builder. Not one to rest on his laurels Mark Of Falworth has already unleashed a second MOC on an unsuspecting Siercon and Coral. This is indeed going to be an epic battle.
Medieval Pop-up Book!
/Prepare to be amazed. This MOC is...well, look at it! Just as a static display it would be excellent, but it's a pop-up book! Can you believe it? A freakin' pop-up book!
Enchanted Flora And Morning Monsters
/First blood has been drawn in the latest Iron Builder. This round pits Siercon and Coral vs the Brothers Falworth, and it should be a good one. The seed part is a flexible green spike.
Siercon and Coral were first with this rose from Beauty and the Beast. No, LEGO doesn't make glass domes, get over it.
Not to be outdone, Mark of Falworth gives us this nightmare. Personally I think the teddy bear isn't afraid, teddy bears are our secret protectors.
The Cutest Little Blaster Ever
/Here's proof you don't need a lot of parts to be freakin' awesome. Han Solo's blaster, built with 15 pieces by ObedientMachine. I'm inspired to build a whole arsenal of mini props, who's with me?
“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”
Krazy Legs
/Hugebricks is no stranger to articulation, having built some amazing and quite posable figures. But this thing is Krazy (see what I did there?). One or two photos really doesn't do this build justice, click through and check out the photostream, you'll thank me later.
SU-27
/The photography here suffers a bit, but I have to overlook that because wow, that's a sharp looking aircraft. Check out that camo! There's lots of other splendid details as well, like the pipes on the back of the vertical stabilizers and the jet nozzles. The contours are really well done too. Nice work Everblack.
Brace For Cuteness!
/This is a stage 4 cuteness alert! Please proceed in an orderly fashion to your designated gathering area or nearest official shelter and prepare to squee. If you are a squee coordinator please remember to wear your vest and make your presence known. Leave all personal belongings behind, you will not need them.
Barrie's Department Store
/Getting the scale right with modular buildings can be tricky. There's a tendency to over do the details and miss the broad strokes, or vice-versa. Not so with this modular from Snaillad. Every detail adds something, and the big picture is stunning. The interior is spot-on as well, and check out that trolly. Nice work Andrew.
Beautiful Ruins
/If you've ever tried, you know how unexpectedly difficult it is to render ruins and decay in LEGO. With something so precisely engineered for structural integrity, getting things to look like this can be frustrating. But Ryclen Icre pulls it off beautifully in this MOC, nice work.
Vrooom!
/There are few things in the automotive world more stirring and lovely than vintage race cars. And one brick-built with skill and photographed really well is just and pulse-pounding. Check out this Ferrari by Bob Alexander. I just want to reach in the screen and vrooom it all over the floor.
"You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat"
/The 70's saw the rise of the "blockbuster", with films like Star Wars, Close Encounters and this little film about a shark I'm sure none of you have heard of. Lucifer Adams does the poster justice with this brilliant little build. Check out the use of the clear panels to suspend 1x1 round tiles and simulate water, excellent.
Fallout: New Toronto
/Having not played Fallout I'm a bit lost as far as what's going on here. But I don't have to have the game experience to see I missed something else big and brilliant at Brickfair and Brickfete. This is a collaborative build between Si-Mocs and NightHawk, and a powerful duo they make. I think my favorite detail is the Airstream trailer, but I'm a sucker for those.
Ambush In Cloudfall
/TBB's own Nannan Zhang rarely fails to delight, and delight he does with this Samurai Jack inspired MOC. The use of the spiral discs is truly inspired, and take a closer look at Jack, his lower half is brick built and the pose is excellent. But why am I going on about this, Nannan posted a video too.
A Tree Growing Out Of A Black Box
/No, I'm not being cheeky with that title, that's how David Leest describes this MOC. There's a stark simplicity yet organic richness to this, very compelling. David says he'd like to build a bigger one some day. I'd say it would be right at home in MOMO. Nice work.
Robotriffic Sunday
/As I rub the sleep from my eyes and sip my PG Tips this morning I'm pleased to see a really cool robot on Flickr. Then another...and ANOTHER. Three robots, three artists, three winners. Rather than post three in a row, I'm mashing them all together in one epic, robotriffic post. I hope you're sitting down kids (I am).
First up is Spr1nt3r. Thirdeye88 describes this as a "doodle" that got more serious. The flexibility and color scheme on this MOC caught my eye. It's just itching to be posed.
Next up is NHI MPHS-NFA-05E (uh, what?) from - NHI -. The proportions and those giant hands make this MOC stand out. It's got some really interesting connections and details too.
Last up, and my personal favorite, is Tubby by m_o_n_k_e_y. Mostly because I think this is probably what I would look like in robotic form.
The Time Machine
/Back before it was cool to put time machines in Deloreans and police call boxes, H. G. Wells showed us how it was done. And Pete Reid shows us how it's done in LEGO. Incidently, in a total time paradox this photo was taken by a Canon Powershot in 1895. Clearly this thing works.
Return Of The Jedi - The Final Battle
/This is some serious Star Warsy mashupness. Flickr user markus19840420 has combined all the intercut scenes in the final battle of ROTJ into a single MOC. One might have thought this impossible, but here it is. Luke is in the throne room, the Falcon is narrowly escaping the explosion as the Ewoks kick some butt.
Edoras
/A second phenomenal Tolkien build in one week? Infomaniac brings us this, the great hall of Meduseld, in the capitol city of Edoras, in the land of Rohan. Here King Theoden went all bonkers and stuff, thanks to Wormtongue and Saruman, the jerks.
She's A Devil
/If there was any doubt that LEGO can be sexy, this MOC by Pate-Keetongu should put that to rest. It should also silence any critics that think Bionicle and Hero Factory parts are "for kids". Clearly, this is for adults...somewhat deviant adults.
