Who's That Girl?

For a first attempt at characters this is outstanding. Nolnet brings us the cast of New Girl, and they are perfectly captured. I love the posing on the figures, the attitude and emotion comes through in every one.

Blind Walker

There's something disturbing, yet somehow compelling about this MOC by evhh. I love the smooth lines and sinewy legs. It almost looks like a scientific model of a creature from another world. A terrifying creature.

*Flick*...*Fwop Fwop Fwop*...*Shick*

I wasn't going to post this. Not because it's not brilliant or yet another amazing build by Siercon and Coral. But because it's brilliant and yet another amazing build by Siercon and Coral. I've honestly lost count of how many MOCs I've featured by these two in the last month. But then I saw the video, and it's too damn cool not to share.

Blake Baer Tips The Scales

Oh man, that's a bad title, sorry about that. But it's really what has happened. This entry into the first round of the MocOlympics is stunning, and stands out from the rest. It's work like this that will move on and set the bar higher and higher. We're going to see some amazing work this year, this is only the beginning.

The H.M.S. Persephone

I've been watching the progress of this ship for a while, thanks to a bounty (see what I did there) of WIP pictures from Wes VanDell. More pictures and info are to come, and I'm sure I'll post them when they do. But in the mean time we can celebrate it's completion. She's a beauty.

Those Pesky Mermaids

Sure they are beautiful, and sing ever so sweetly. But put one toe in the water and boom! You're fish food. Something should really be done about this scourge of the deep, these sirens of fate, these...these...the singing is so beautiful. I must...go...in the....water.... 

Optimus Prime

I have a nerd confession to make, I don't give a rat's LaBeouf about Transformers. I was just a little too old when they hit popularity to care as a kid, and like most of Michael Bay's movies, his movie adaptations did nothing for me (I like to watch films, not be assaulted by them). I do however really like this MOC. Even if it wasn't based on a cool cartoon and toy line, it would be awesome.

Waiting For Christmas

As we transition into fall, school starts and BrickCon looms, it also means Christmas is right around the corner. Lovely, glorious Christmas, around which the entire kid-year revolves. It would seem LoctiteGirl  is looking forward to it as well, judging by this charming MOC. I love the stars breaking up and becoming snow (although I do have to wonder how those are attached).

VW Busses Everywhere

With FBTB's Star Warsify and Eurobricks Pimp contests both going simultaneously, this is going to be an epic month of mini VW's. They're already showing up and we're barely getting started. Being a big fan of the van, I couldn't be happier.

Armada

This is a seriously chunky mech, perhaps the chunkiest I've ever seen.  I love the color palette and details too, simple things like the 1x1 tiles add so much. Excellent work _TrapleS_!

Update: It turns out this is inspired by another seriously chunky mech, built a year ago by Zane Houston, credit where credit's due...

"I Can Drive That Loader..."

One of James Cameron's true gifts is introducing technology that not only looks cool, but is plausible. You can really believe in the Power Loader. I can still remember watching this thing in Aliens so many years ago and just going "awesome" (with that sort of giddy little nerd dance you do in your seat). I really want to walk around in one of these some day.

Druid's Cottage

This excellent little cottage comes to us from Legonardo Davidy . I really like the diminished foundation, both in scale and construction, it really looks like dilapidated masonry. And the rock work is very cool too. This guy needs to clean up though, the heath department frowns on too many human skulls littering your lawn.

Skullcracker

It's just a shiptastic morning here at BrickNerd, and I'm OK with that. This fighter by Genghis Don is super sweet. I'm even overlooking the blatant use of clone parts here, since it's done to such great effect. You won't find them often here, but in this case I couldn't resist.

Space Eagle

When Kosmas Santosa was challenged by friends to incorporate rail curves into his next MOC, he didn't flinch. Instead he rocked this outstanding ship with transforming capabilities. Not only did he nail the ship, the photography is excellent, this thing's gorgeous.

Serpent Shores

Micro builds make me happy, especially of this quality. Siercon and Coral are back (yes, it's getting a little repetitive, but look a this!) with another entry for Iron Builder. This is one of the coolest, dinky castles I've ever seen, and the action in the bay is icing on the cake.

Technic Batcycle

You can always count on Monster Brick to give you a unique take on something, like his Technic Batcycle. It's like OCC and Bruce Wayne got together to build something so radical the bad guys would just wet their pants when he came around a corner on it.

Orbital Frame Nekhbet

This is a seriously cool mech. I love the color scheme and pose. The use of angles and curves almost lends a disruptive pattern camouflage to it, almost as visually confusing as it is exciting.

E.S.C.H.E.R.

I can't decide what I like best about this. The brilliance of the build, the excellence of the photography or the fantastic description on Flickr. Three things that I can't decide between, like three sides of a triangle, continually going around and around in an impossible cycle.

MDI.042 Tortaga

m_o__k_e_y is back with another excellent mech. This one has a stance and structure I don't think I've seen before. I especially like the back of the legs and the connectivity of the legs to the body. Spindly and chunky at the same time. It's like the illegitimate love child of ED-209 and ATLAS.

Sea Monster!!!

Batten down the hatches, man the pumps, all men on deck! Check out this amazing entry for the Legends of Brickdom Global Adventure Challenge. The sea creature is absolutely stunning, check out those scales, how is that possible? Amazing work LukeClarenceVan!
