I'd Visit This Park
/Theme parks are another of my passion (well, Disneyland and LEGOLAND at least) and this huge MOC from OliveSeon looks like one you'd have a hard time getting me out of. Three lands are represented here, Star Wars, LOTR and Marvel, and each land is packed with detail. I'm hoping more images come soon because I want to get a closer look. For now click through and scroll around the largest size, there's lots going on.
Welcome To ILM
/This MOC is too nerdy not to post. Being a long time Star Wars fan and a visual effect guy, this one is close to my heart. I remember when we used to build models and actually blow stuff up, good times, good times. Built by Legopard for a contest at Imperium der Steine. Check out all the pics at MOCpages.
You Kids Stay Off My Lawn!
/The best MOCs tell a story or evoke emotion, this does both. I feel like a bit of a dork at Starbucks right now having literally laughed out loud seeing the and spooking some poor old ladies sitting next to me. They're sitting further away now. This is an entry into the Caption This Photo contest on MOCpages. Nice work Paul.
The Council Of Elrond
/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.
Arcanine! Hyper Beam Attack, Go!
/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.
TS-18 Earwig
/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.
LEGO Simpsons?
/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.
Exterminate!
/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.
Island of Acilly
/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.
Utopia
/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.
ST-XM1/D Hoplite
/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.
Tranquility
/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.
Batrod
/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.
What Is It?
/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.
RAMPAGE!
/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.
