Jon Hall is back with my new favorite aircraft in his ever-expanding fleet. The Patriot is reminiscent of my best-loved fighter of all time, the Corsair, but in a twin pusher canard configuration that screams 'air dominance'. I especially like the color scheme of classic navy & white, and those grill/nacelle combinations are awesome.
Right on the heels of his fantastic good guys and bad guys, SuckMyBrick is back with everyone's favorite foul-mouthed paper cutouts, the kids from Southpark. I knew when the Mixels came out with their plentitude of various eyes we would see an explosion of character builds, and I'm totally cool with that. Every one of these little guys is instantly recognizable.
I generally don't feature digital builds, but since I'm presently at SDCC and speaking tomorrow on a panel (Looking at Beyond The Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary at 5pm) I'm immersed in all things nerd, this MOC caught my eye. It's actually a good example at how building digitally can actually be way harder than just getting out the bricks (assuming you have them). Having recently dealt with flexible elements in a digital model, I know how tricky this was.
With a name like SuckMyBrick, you can expect something a bit edgy, and hilarious caricatures of evil world leaders sorta fits the bill. Luckily there's also hilarious caricatures of good guys to balance everything out. Click through for plenty more wonderful figures.
Builder Pate-keetongu is back with more of his merry (ok, some of them are grumpy) band of deposed dwarves hell-bent on retaking their domain from a irritable dragon. This time it's the King under the Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield and his nephews Fili and Kili.
This spiffy little island looks like an official set amped up to the next level and packed with excellent little details. I love the use of arranged water spout parts to make lapping waves and the crossed swords decorations.
As the world's nerd population descends upon San Diego California (this nerd included) all manner of dedication to the universe of comics and pop culture is on display. Builder monsterbrick has assembled his own band of heroes mashing up Marvel and the fabulous ball joints from the Mixels line (with a few fun eyeballs to boot). There's some seriously pose-able super hero action going on here.
On a recent visit to Hawaii I remembered something about home that I take for granted, very few bugs. It takes a trip outside your bubble sometimes to realize what you have. Not that I have anything against bugs (at least the ones that don't want to nibble on me). But I suppose if all bugs had fun googly eyes like these from legorobo:waka they would be more entertaining to be around.
If you've seen The LEGO Movie (you have, haven't you?) you'll remember Benny, the exceptionally enthusiastic spacer. And you've no doubt drooled after Benny's super-sweet giant spaceship. Well powerpig has scaled things down to a more manageable (and affordable) level with this mini version of his ship. I dig it, it's like a Micro-Fighters scale version.
Director, builder and all around awesome guy Angus MacLane has further refined his already amazing WALL•E and the results speak for themselves. The best news is you don't just have to gawk at pictures of this MOC, with your support, there's a chance you could have one of your very own. Less than 2500 votes needed, it's getting so close!
I really love this new aircraft from the king of fanciful flight Jon Hall. The color scheme is the first thing that grabs your attention, all that yummy olive green. It looks military at first, but the shape is just a little too cute and stubby to be intimidating. Then she opens up with her quad cannons and you're history.
I had a really cool Red Baron model kit when I was a kid. Of course I really had no idea what it represented, who Manfred von Richthofen was or who was fighting who and for what reason 50 years before I was born. All I knew is it was a bitchin' red triplane. Speaking of which, it's no less awesome built in bricks as we can see in this sweet diorama by PigletCiamek.
Just when I thought I could go back to not caring about soccer (hey, the World Cup is over and I'm American), Siercon & Coral bring us their entry to the Eurobricks Turtle Madness Contest. And just like Koopa Paratroopa dominates the field, I think they may dominate this contest with this entry.
Some fun Koala facts:
While this isn't necessarily a MOC per say, it's still LEGO art in my opinion, and it's compelling. Builder Grantmasters has skillfully and patiently arranged all manner of LEGO elements to create an image inspired by Fleer's Ultra Spiderman cards from the 90's. The effect is quite cool.
Nothing speaks of confidence than to roll on your enemy with supreme firepower painted bright yellow. This obnoxiously yellow landship (that's space_e's official title) sports three turrets and four treads in counter triangular configuration. And if that wasn't enough, it's also remote controlled with an adder-subtractor drive. It's a lumbering beast that is designed to dominate the battlefield, regardless of color.
Dateline Miami Florida
Scientists researching the negative effects of men over 50 wearing speedos were startled today to discover a small snowman enjoying the summer heat and sun. Using instruments they had on hand they took several measurements and could not explain the apparent decelerated melt rate of the afore mentioned snow. After several hours study the team adjourned to a nearby hotel to study the data. It should be noted that during all that time it escaped the scientists attention that the snowman did indeed walk, talk, sing and wear a silly hat.
I featured Crazy Bricks' skulls on episode 206 of BrickNerd. But even though I had a fairly generous handful of them, the thought of building something like this would have never occurred to me. I guess it speaks to V&A Steamworks' darker side that this is even a thing. I think maybe we should keep a close eye on Guy...just sayin'
Say what you will about 2002's Tom Cruise film Minority Report, there was some way cool design in that movie. From the gesture-based displays to the jet packs, there was cool tech everywhere you looked. But very little of it was as cool as the Lexus concept car, and now we can admire it in brick form thanks to Mad Physicist.
Having just returned from a wonder vacation in Hawaii, the timing on this MOC is perfect. Builder Miro78 as crafted the quintessential beach hut, where all the locals and the tourists can get some delicious fruit and lemonade. I wonder if they serve shave ice?
UPDATE: This has just been accepted as a LEGO Ideas project, head over and love on it.
