Continuing this morning's viking theme, we move on to Berk, where dragon training is underway. The deadly nadder is considered to be one of the most beautiful dragons, but watch out for those poison spines, not to mention the extremely hot fire. I'd suggest taking advantage of it's blind spot, which just happens to be directly in front of it. Nice build Stormbringer.
I think everyone would agree, the vikings were badasses. Conquerers through and through, from fellow norsemen, to other lands and of course the sea. I think I'd consider Isaiah.S a badass too, for conquering this brick-built hull.
Here in California we just don't get much snow, at least where most of us live. Maybe that's why I find winter MOCs so appealing, since they represent something far away and somewhat exotic (at least to me). This modular diorama by sdrnet depicts a scene I've never actually experienced at a snowy winter vacation spot. There's so much detail in this scene and inside the building I invite you to click through and take a look. There's also a fantastic little surprise under the mountain, very nerdy.
My first childhood memory is sitting on my dad's lap watching a NASA mission unfold on TV. I've always had a fondness of the brave men and women of space exploration, and I'm also fond of this picture by tiler. The MOC isn't particularly fancy or spectacular, but it's clean, well designed and evocative of the lunar rover. But this is all about the excellent photo. The composition, lighting and editing are great, but the subtle touches like the registration marks and the reflection of the astronaut in the helmet truly make it.
This was a pleasant sight to wake up to this morning. It's been a while since we've seen a MOC from lights, and this cheery little odd-shaped ship is a treat to the eyes. The side-opening cockpit is way cool and it looks just as awesome docked as it does flying.
This little baby is called the T.A.H. MK II "Hatchet" Multipurpose Tactical Construction Hardsuit, which is a bit of a mouthful so I'll just call it awesome. The color combinations and construction are very clean, it really looks like an official set. I love the slight asymmetry to it as well, gives it a more utility feel.
Yay! Tomorrow The LEGO Movie comes out! I have no idea what context this is in, but angry Uni-Kitty is clearly not to be messed with. It's always so odd when you have a rush of exposure to characters before the movie comes out. I know that in just another day this image will mean so much more to me. This MOC by Lego Junkie is spectacular.
I remember when I took my first gig in Hollywood. It was literally IN Hollywood (that's actually kind of rare) and there was a pizza place around the corner that I ate at fairly often. Nearly every time I was there there was a girl with neon green hair in the corner having a slice and reading a script. I guess she went on to rock star manga status, who knew?
First Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and now an ancient Kung Fu tortoise, what's next, midlife crisis karate terrapins? All joking aside this amazing build by Bruce Lowell from the movie Kung Fu Panda captures the essence of Master Oogway to a T. Bruce has pulled off some cool new tricks, from the white minifig heads shrouded in space helmets for eyes to the excellent use of Ewok glider wings for the back of the sash.
I didn't get to eat lobster as a kid. I remember my parents having it from time to time, but it seemed every time they did, it was TV dinners for me and my siblings. Yes, while they ate lobster, I had salisbury steak, and you know what? I was fine with that. I'm an adult now though, and this MOC by F'Alves is making me hungry.
No that's not their names (although, I have to say it's kinda fun) that's just how their built. Well, that and full of awesome. These stout little hard suits are from Mechanekton, and they're wonderful.
What has less than 50 pieces, transforms and is adorable? These guys. M<0><0>DSWIM decided to take a break from bigger MOCs and do a little micro building, and these are the results. These could be an entire series of cool little polybags, if only LEGO had this license.
On a day like today, when all Americans bathe in the glory of corporate sponsorship (it's Super Bowl Sunday) It seems fitting that this MOC should pop up in my Flickr feed. Builder toms_h@rt shows us just how enterprising GARC racers fund their sport, and catch the spectator's eyes.
While I've always thought that the name oliphaunt was just silly, these four-tusked behemoths were quite impressive in Lord Of The Rings. And this mini fig scale version by Simply Complex is every bit as impressive, and huge. This was built for the Middle Earth LEGO Olympics over on MOCpages, and will be certainly turn some heads.
After four years of planning and building, Mark Kelso has finally unveiled his monster reproduction of the Halo ship Spirit of Fire. And the results are spectacular. At a massive 7 feet long, no detail is too small to include in this masterpiece. Mark took every effort to hide as many studs as possible and successfully pulled off some great angles to model this ship as close to the original as possible. In fact, if you weren't reading a LEGO blog you might think this ship is an actual 3D model.
Now if only someone could convince him to bring it to Brickworld Chicago 2014 so we can all see it in person...
Blacktron MOCs are rare anymore, especially ones as cool as this offering from -=Steebles=-. The mechanical linkages look real enough to make this thing walk. And all black or mostly black models are notoriously hard to photograph (no really, don't do it to yourself!) especially in such a way they can be seen against a black background, this is well done.
This craft by Lego Junkie looks like it's from a movie. Actually, it's designed so well, it almost looks like a real vessel, yet at the same time from a sci-fi epic. I especially like the level of detail on the deck, from the weapons to the rails, it's a beauty.
She's one of the most iconic muscle cars ever created, the Ford Mustang. Whether you're a fan or not, you can't deny the influence and popularity of this little sports car that burst onto the scene in 1964. Now Peteris Sprogis has created one of the finest reproductions in brick I've ever seen, it's just awesome.
This excellent pirate MOC comes to us from Fraslund. Originally started as a CCCXI entry, time ran out. And while it may have not been entered in the contest, I think we can all agree it's a winner. There's so much to love here, I highly recommend clicking through and looking at the high res pictures, it's loaded with detail.
