When the official Council of Elrond set was announced this is what I pictured, then I saw what it really was and, well...meh. This is gorgeous though. The second you look at it you can almost hear the Rivendell music playing. The most delightful detail is Sam, Merry and Pippin all watching from the outside.
Mind=blown. I saw pictures of this trickling in from BrickFair and couldn't believe what I was seeing. And now with decent photographs it's still hard to wrap my head around it. I can't fathom how building like this is accomplished. The WIP pictures make clear how it's suspended on one paw, but they don't explain how this can be done. I'm impressed. I understand the logic of keeping the BG flaws in to emphasize the single point of contact, but this thing deserves to be properly photographed.
It's a mechanical kinda morning. This this is beautiful, from the color scheme to the details. I have to admit, I thought this was a render at first, the photography is so flawless. Nice work all around legorobo.
This thing defies the eyes! I've never seen robotics and greeblies blended so seamlessly. Check out those legs! It's like Gundam meets ED209 and a little Borg cube thrown in for flavor, amazing. The background is a bit distracting, it almost looks like a grainy photo but it's actually textured.
BrickNerd is way too new and small to be even a faint blip on LEGO's PR radar, so I get my news like you guys, from the internets. I saw several posts about LEGO announcing that The Simpsons would be coming in 2014. But I've seen no official image, no official news release excerpt and no page on lego.com. It all seems like either rumor or leak. Either way, LEGO is quiet.
I've had plenty of friends try and get me into Dr. Who, and try as I might, I've never been able to get into it. I've also never been able to understand how carwash vacuums equipped with plungers are scary. But there's no doubting their popularity, and these renditions by LegoAvon are spot on.
Out in the open sea lies the Island of Ascilly, and it's lovely. I love the arched windows, the details on the tower and irregular roofing. So much detail in a relatively small castle. A great build by The /\rchitect.
I don't know if this technique is new or not but I've never seen it before. Flickr user gid617 built a little carpet using it and I had to share. It sort of makes me sad to think of all those amputated Minifigs though.
This scene from Simon S. is gorgeous. I like to think when I get caught in a temporal rift or wormhole and find myself transported back in time to the middle ages I will end up in a place like this. Where I will use my mad computer skills to convince the locals I'm a wizard and get free bread and stuff.
For some reason this mech by SPECTRE reminds me of a shop class teacher I had in middle school. You know the type, preaching about safety and pointing at you with his three remaining figures. As far as mechs go, this thing is pretty beefy. It looks like it means business.
The Ironbuilder challenge between Pasukaru76 & Gilcelio is still going, and no matter which one of those two is victorious, we all win. This latest MOC by Pasukaru76 is very zen, I feel more relaxed just looking at it.
Here at BrickNerd we like to dredge up the past, like that one time this guy's parents were murdered and he became a billionaire vigilante super hero. This is one of my favorite batmobiles of all time, the Batrod by _Tiler. Not only is this a brilliant build, the photography is top notch. Amazing what you can do with a little patience and a desk lamp.
Truth is, I don't know. According to builder the oneman it's inspired by Bladerunner and Ian McQue. All I know is it looks very odd and very cool. The photo is nice too, it almost has a painterly quality about it.
I'm a kid of the 80's. Part of the generation that played PONG, wore parachute pants and dumped countless quarters into arcade machines. A somewhat later arrival to the 8-bit game revolution was this game, Rampage. It was the first game I know of where you scored points for not only smashing the crap out of everything, but even eating those pesky humans. Good times, good times.
Check out this aquarium from Joshua Morris. It has everything you want in aquatic, decorative pets. Colorful fish, interesting decorations, attractive framing. Not only is it beautiful, but way easier to manage the salinity than the real thing.
As if the Fire Chief wasn't spectacular enough, Guy Himber has gone and upped the ante. No show car this amazing is ever driven to it's destination, it's towed. Then rolled off and lovingly rubbed with a diaper. Guy is also occasionally lovingly rubbed with a diaper (this is how rumors start).
Check out the walls of this MOC by Gideon_83. With a combination of color, profile bricks, mixed plate and construction, the effect is excellent. I also love an epic MOC that tells the story of a mundane task, in this case a wall repair project underway.
I was holding off on posting this in hopes that a video would be made available, but I'll just have to update if one surfaces. This thing actually walks! I think Ryan Kessler said it best when he asked "is castle punk a thing?" It has a pretty cool back story too, click through to read.
MikeVd builds some excellent figures, and his latest don't disappoint. I can't decide what I like the most about these, there's just too much to love. Check out the laced boots, the tank tread dress, the posing, it's all top notch.
There has been images floating around for weeks, but it's finally official. LEGO has announced series 11 of their wildly popular collectible Minifigures line. My personal favorite is the Island Warrior, but the Welder is a close second. Now if I could actually get them locally...
