Lighthouse Island
/Whenever Ironbuilder is going you can be sure some great MOCs, like this awesome lighthouse by Gilcelio Chagas . The seed part is the 1x2 plate with angled handles, which makes makes excellent use as the catwalk around the top.

I will resist the temptation to be snarky on this post. This is a beautiful MOC depicting a national cemetery in France. It's so well done and so well photographed you would swear it's from the Architecture line from LEGO.
Here at BrickNerd we look back from time to time, even back to the 30's. Guy Himber brought us this charming and delightful cruiser. Sure there's some modified parts in there, but it's Guy, he's a perpetual tinkerer.
Doc Ock (and let's face it, all villains) need to shop like the rest of us. Those Steakums and Superpretzels don't just magically appear in the freezer. Xenomurphy is running a superhero contest on MOCpages and this MOC by Dave Kaleta is superb.
I played with Zoids as a kid. If I still had them I'd probably still play with them (don't judge me). With the Zoids contest happening on Flickr we've seen quite a few recently. I'd prefer all these were real bricks but I'll take the digital versions too, they still make me reminisce. Now would someone build Gore please?
The minstrel music plays and the crowd cheers as the king enters the square. Fresh baked goods almost masks the smell of the horses as they clomp by. Banners flutter in the breeze as the smiling subjects eagerly greet their king. I could go on and on, but all you have to do is look at these pictures to get the same story. This is how you assemble a scene, it's rich with detail and story telling. Nice work Teabox.
John Stephens has been feeding us a continual diet of awesome hors devours (get it? they're small!) for weeks. I've been waiting to post because...well, I'm not sure why. I guess I was waiting to see if they were going to be presented in group, I dunno. But I can't contain myself on this one. Maybe it's my fondness for cheeseburgers, or perhaps my affinity for retro, but I totally dig this MOC.
I remain blissfully ignorant of Chima (hey, what can I say, it does nothing for me) but I like this build. I do have a few Chima polybags and LEGO sent me a couple Speedorz to try out, so I'm not completely out of the loop. But I confess, I have no idea who this is. But check out the construction here, the expressive face, those beefy hands, that ready-for-action stance, this is cool.
San Diego Comic-Con is only a few days away. If you're attending I'd like to invite you to a panel, BrickJournal: LEGO as an Art Form. It's on Saturday at 5:00PM in room 23ABC. It features BrickJournal's Joe Meno, LEGO Artist and STUDS founder Brandon Griffith, world famous LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya and me (wait a minute, me?) Yes, for some reason I was invited to sit on this panel with three totally awesome AFOLs, go figure.
Chris McVeigh has been up to something interesting, something he calls "brick sketches". I'm inspired to make my own, but first I need some free time to build.
This fine little offering from TBB's own Andrew Becraft is great. I love how there's no wasted space, no superfluous studs or unneeded details. Check out the front end, check out the mud flaps/lights, check out the hatches. It's compact perfection.
*update: Andrew posted this and more MOCs on TBB
The very first episode of BrickNerd is now available and it almost doesn't suck!
I review the UCS B-Wing Starfighter, take a look at the Lone Ranger line, share some news and MOCs. This was a real learning experience, and I'm ready to tackle the next episode. I'm very curious what you think so please comment.
Every year I look forward to the holiday season just like any other kid. And every year I look forward to adding to my collection of winter sets from LEGO. This year we are treated to a little market, complete with several vendors, a park bench and a cute little merry-go-round.

While pondering what to title this post, and what to write right here, I became seriously nostalgic for some good old fashion visual effects. When men were men and we blew stuff up. I also realized it's been way too long since I've screened ROTJ, so if you'll excuse me, I have some movie watching to do.
There was a giant spider outside my front door last night, so I know exactly how these guys feel. OK, that's a bit of a stretch, but check out this MOC. A giant tentacled beast terrorizing a factory as two cool vehicles rain hell fire upon it. Just another day at the Snuggies plant. I have to assume the blue reflections to one side are sunlight creeping in to the picture, but it's a happy accident, because it adds some great effects.
