Julius Von Brunk Wins The Internets
/I'm a Nintendo nerd, you all know that. So I'm having a hard time keeping my composure here at Starbucks (to avoid spooking the old ladies again). I'm sure all the caffeine isn't helping. This collections of MOCs just blew my mind. Not only is it a pretty spiffy MOC of a N64, controller and carts, but they TRANSFORM! Holy crap!
Mikoto Misaka
/One again I lose one HP nerd cred by not knowing who this is. A quick Google search reveals she's a railgun and has a fear of bugs (?). All I know is this is a sweet MOC. Nice work Mike Dung.
Bricks By The Bay Is This Weekend
/I won't be there, but if you're in the bay area come check out the MOCs and LEGO nerds at Bricks By The Bay. The exhibition is Sunday, Aug 11 from 10am-4pm at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara.
Holy Udderly Amazing Batcow!
/This seems custom built for BrickCon's theme this year "Pigs vs Cows", but it's actually for Mr. Xenomurphy's super hero contest. Although I trust we'll get to see it in person in Seattle this October, right Dave? Right?
Scary Feet, Scary Feet, Scary Feet
/Mike & Sulley! I never had a monster under my bed as a youth, unless you count my little brother. You see I slept in the upper bunk, so I didn't worry much about what was under me, unless he was kicking my mattress trying to get my attention. I do recall my brother being deeply disturbed by my Revell Monsters model kits though, so there was some fear in the room.
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.
