For The Shoe Horse AFOL

Flickr user Schfio makes excellent use in a "studs out" technique to render these Nike Court Tour shoes perfectly. Seriously, take a step back from your monitor and squint, it's just a pair of shoes! Nice SNOT lettering on the base too.

When You Play The Game Of Thrones...

I read GOT (ok, listened to, narrated by the great Roy Dotrice) years ago, and I'm a huge fan of the series. I've often thought during the opening sequence "somebody should build that". I've seen a couple minifigure scale offerings, but this build by Megan Correnti captures the mood perfectly. I especially like the pose, contemplative and burdened. 

First Post

I'm very happy to be adding my first official post to BrickNerd. This site represents a new beginning for me, a chance to start anew. For over two decades I have worked in the motion picture industry as a visual effects artist, but that aspect of my life and career is going on the back burner. All those years pale in comparison with the number of years I've been captivated with LEGO. As a child I played, as a teen I collected, as an adult I build. The bricks to me represent an art medium and challenge.

BrickNerd is the place I can share my passion, and hopefully entertain you. It's also a work in progress, and will continually evolve. I want it to be the best LEGO fan site on the internet, and I'd love to hear your ideas for what you want to see. Send your feedback, good or bad, to tommy@bricknerd.com.

Build on and nerd out!
