Jon Hall is back with another spectacular aircraft. The color scheme on this one is excellent, the brown and tan contrast along with the white stripe are just perfect. Not a bad bit of photoshop lovin' on this either. As always, the complete package.
One of the more beautiful locations in the Star Wars trilogy (yes, I said trilogy) was Bespin. Realized almost exclusively through matte paintings originally, it was unique and lovely. It's too bad Han got frozen, Luke got the crap beat out of him, C-3P0 got blowed up real good and Lando went out of business (assumed). It probably put a bit of a damper on the place.
It's odd how a single film can transform a thing forever huh? The image of clownfish used to just conjure up images of tropical reefs and sea life. Now you see one and all you can think is Nemo! Nice MOC Amida Na.
I'd have to say, if it comes to looking through stuff, super strength, being bullet-proof, super breath, and, oh I don't know, FLYING Superman just might have the advantage. But hey, if you want to have a foot race then sure.
I have a confession to make, I still haven't seen Pacific Rim (rolls 20 sided die, OOOHHH critical hit, nerd cred -12). It's not that I didn't want to, but seeing movies where I live can be difficult and/or disappointing. But I promise to see it on Blu-ray soon. In the mean time I'll gawk at this amazing MOC by OliveSeon, holy amazeballs!
Devid VII has miniaturized one of my favorite sets in recent history, the Monster Fighters Haunted House. This is the same scale as the mini modulars and would fit right in as that spooky house you'd cross the street to avoid walking past.
From the "whop whop whop" at the street light to the roar of the engine as it takes off and from the tassels hanging from the grips to the glisten of the chrome, nothing is like a Harley. Bricksonwheels captures the essence of the HOG in this beautiful MOC.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for a good Zelda MOC, and this is a good Zelda MOC, and now you can have one too. Baron Von Bronk has made instructions for this awesome mech interpretation of Link from The Legend of Zelda. Head over to his blog to get your grubby little mits on his instructions and LDD files.
CustomBRICKS is back again (it's only been a day!) with another remarkable brick-built caricature. There is just something so appealing about a minimalistic approach. The plan is mount this (and others) in shallow shadow boxes, and I think it's brilliant. I wouldn't mind one of these hanging on my wall.
I love Coke, and there's no better way to enjoy it than in a bottle. Especially if you can get your hands on one bottled in Mexico where they still use cane sugar (mmmmmm). And from the looks of it theworldinbricks feels the same way with this two foot tall tribute to everyone's favorite soft drink.
It is widely known I'm a Disney nerd as well as a brick nerd. So this very interesting MOC by customBRICKS just makes me smile. Each element is brick built, but all the pieces are free floating. It's an interesting style.
Here's a seriously militaristic looking bipedal mech. It almost has a stealth feel to it with all the facets, and a very functional but menacing aesthetic. I can just imagine what this thing would sound like and move like, it would be sweet.
"Cute and cuddly my foot! Come here you, I'm gonna throw ya a beating"! I can't help but think that even with our tendency to anthropomorphize animals, they still have a range of personalities we never consider. Think about it, somewhere on this planet there just has to be a bunny who is just nothing but a jerk.
This is phenomenal, a fully functional Raspberry Pi computer built into a LEGO version of BMO, the living game console from Adventure Time. And when I say fully functional, I mean it. It's a Linux computer, capable of gaming, word processing, web browsing, whatever. Check out the video!
This is gorgeous. There is so much rich detail and texture on this MOC that it almost looks like a illustration. The rock and stone work, the distressed tudor buildings, the subtle angles and slopes, it's all just fantastic. Leonardo Davidy, you are a master.
Tazmaniac is back with another feast for the eyes, a goblin house. There is so much rich detail in this MOC you can look at it for ages, and still keep discovering new stuff. The flippers on the kilt and the roof are especially cool, and who can resist a derp-eyed goblin?
OK kids, it's time for a visual effects/LEGO mashup. This MOC employs a technique called forced perspective, where items of diminishing scale are placed to give a greater sense of distance. The use of color in the background is excellent as well, implying what's called aerial perspective where things become less contrasty with distance because of particulate matter in the air. Oh, and hey...turtles.
Round two of the MocOlympics in underway, and the competition is heating up. These are all builders of great skill, as evidenced by this excellent MOC by jamesuniverse. For more amazing MOCs head over to the MocOlympics 2013 page.
This is quite possibly the greatest use of LEGO bands I've ever seen. Not only do they add shape and contour, but the color contrast and design is brilliant. And that's just one aspect of this overall stunning MOC. Excellent work Brickthing.
I have a Taco Bell promotional item from Star Wars Episode 1 (yeah, I kept it, whatevs) with this same principle. I remember thinking it would be possible to build in LEGO, but never attempted it. I might just have to put one of these together some day, they're endlessly fascinating.
