Duel In The Deep
/Clearly there will be no punches pulled in this Iron Builder. Not one to rest on his laurels Mark Of Falworth has already unleashed a second MOC on an unsuspecting Siercon and Coral. This is indeed going to be an epic battle.

The highlight for me of San Diego Comic-Con was speaking on the BrickJournal: LEGO as an Art Form panel with Nathan Sawaya, Brandon Griffith and Joe Meno. Nathan was especially entertaining and informative on the panel, and let's face it, the real star. He was well-spoken, charming and everything I'm not. He's also one of, if not the, greatest brick artists in the world.
Read MoreFirst blood has been drawn in the latest Iron Builder. This round pits Siercon and Coral vs the Brothers Falworth, and it should be a good one. The seed part is a flexible green spike.
Siercon and Coral were first with this rose from Beauty and the Beast. No, LEGO doesn't make glass domes, get over it.
Not to be outdone, Mark of Falworth gives us this nightmare. Personally I think the teddy bear isn't afraid, teddy bears are our secret protectors.
How to make an awesome LEGO book:
Simple, right?

There's a new LUG in town! If you, like me, are convinced you're the only one around who "likes to play with LEGO" you may be surprised to find out there are more of you out there. And now you have a LUG to bring you all together. Introducing GAULUG, The Gauteng LEGO User Group. You can find out more info on their website here.
Hugebricks is no stranger to articulation, having built some amazing and quite posable figures. But this thing is Krazy (see what I did there?). One or two photos really doesn't do this build justice, click through and check out the photostream, you'll thank me later.
The photography here suffers a bit, but I have to overlook that because wow, that's a sharp looking aircraft. Check out that camo! There's lots of other splendid details as well, like the pipes on the back of the vertical stabilizers and the jet nozzles. The contours are really well done too. Nice work Everblack.
This is a stage 4 cuteness alert! Please proceed in an orderly fashion to your designated gathering area or nearest official shelter and prepare to squee. If you are a squee coordinator please remember to wear your vest and make your presence known. Leave all personal belongings behind, you will not need them.
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and also to look at some elements a whole new way. The first time I met builder Norbert "Norby" Labuguen we were both displaying at Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND CA. Norby brought this creation and stunned me. I had never considered Bionicle, Hero Factory and especially Galidor pieces particularly useful. Norby changed all that for me, and continues to amaze me with his MOCs. This isn't the greatest picture of his Opee Sea Killer, but you get the idea, it's awesome.
Getting the scale right with modular buildings can be tricky. There's a tendency to over do the details and miss the broad strokes, or vice-versa. Not so with this modular from Snaillad. Every detail adds something, and the big picture is stunning. The interior is spot-on as well, and check out that trolly. Nice work Andrew.
The Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project has Achieved 10K supporters and is now in review by LEGO. Fingers crossed Ghostbusters fans, this is a very cool idea. I want a Luis Tully figure though.
There are few things in the automotive world more stirring and lovely than vintage race cars. And one brick-built with skill and photographed really well is just and pulse-pounding. Check out this Ferrari by Bob Alexander. I just want to reach in the screen and vrooom it all over the floor.
The 70's saw the rise of the "blockbuster", with films like Star Wars, Close Encounters and this little film about a shark I'm sure none of you have heard of. Lucifer Adams does the poster justice with this brilliant little build. Check out the use of the clear panels to suspend 1x1 round tiles and simulate water, excellent.
Having not played Fallout I'm a bit lost as far as what's going on here. But I don't have to have the game experience to see I missed something else big and brilliant at Brickfair and Brickfete. This is a collaborative build between Si-Mocs and NightHawk, and a powerful duo they make. I think my favorite detail is the Airstream trailer, but I'm a sucker for those.
TBB's own Nannan Zhang rarely fails to delight, and delight he does with this Samurai Jack inspired MOC. The use of the spiral discs is truly inspired, and take a closer look at Jack, his lower half is brick built and the pose is excellent. But why am I going on about this, Nannan posted a video too.
No, I'm not being cheeky with that title, that's how David Leest describes this MOC. There's a stark simplicity yet organic richness to this, very compelling. David says he'd like to build a bigger one some day. I'd say it would be right at home in MOMO. Nice work.
