I have to confess this MOC makes reminisce (not in a good way) about endless meetings and conference calls in my VFX days. But I'll get over it because it's pretty awesome. Take a look at that floor, and the frogs as legs for the globe, and the furniture, and the windows. Everywhere you look in this relatively small MOC there's something cool, it's a feast for the eyes. Nice work Masa of Kaliphlin.
There are few epic climax struggles more memorable that Ripley vs the queen alien in Aliens. And now we can admire it in CubeDude form thanks to Lego-Man-at-arms. The super deformed power loader cracks me up.
Maybe I haven't had enough tea yet on this first day of school, but it took me way too long to realize this was a micro build (something I'm always impressed with). I don't normally feature digital builds (get your bricks out!) but I'm really impressed with this little fishing village by mmbace. There's so much detail! He's also submitted it as a Cuusoo project, I think I'll add my support.
Lino Martins was one of the winners of the Nerdly contest last month. And not to break character, Nerdly has been hotrodded out. Congrats again Lino, Nerdly never looked better!
This inspires me to run a new contest. What do you all think of a "Pimp My Nerdly" contest? I'll post the instructions and you can all go nuts with it. Thoughts?
Harnessing the power of water was one of the things that got us out of the dark ages. But a secondary benefit was the absolute charm and aesthetic beauty of a classic mill. This MOC by David Hensel is a perfect example. Check out the discoloration at the bottom of the walls, perfect!
I've flown in this plane, I've actually piloted a 152. If you live in a metropolitan area you can probably go outside and look around and spot one in the sky right now. They are ubiquitous, and this MOC by jesbert captures it perfectly.
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, this time to Hyrule. Posting about the Cuusoo project reminded me of this wonderful Legend of Zelda mosaic by Bolt of Blue. It was at my first BrickCon, and the first time I saw a mosaic in person of something I'm a fan of. I was captivated. Not only is it a mosaic, it's designed as a stained glass window. When back-lit this thing is gorgeous.
For completely selfish reasons, because I want to have them! I love Zelda, I've been a fan for ages. These are a really cool sets, they hit all the marks and I think they would be good sellers. Despite the outcome of the last fully supported Zelda Cuusoo project, I vote we all keep trying until LEGO relents.
Everyday objects are always fun subject matter. There's just something wondrous about seeing something you totally take for granted rendered in bricks. David Haliski has made this his specialty, and as you can see by this Tide box, he's very good at it.
This is a MOC and smack talk in one (sMOC talk?) Not to be intimidated, Siercon and Coral fire back with everyone's favorite trash can dweller, Oscar the Grouch. How they attached all those green spikes is beyond me.
I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, "hey look, a cool MOC by Mark of Falworth". But my philosophy is pretty damn simple: If it's cool, blog it. This is cool! A charming and detailed micro build. Check out that train, lovely.
Inception was a cool movie, and this was a cool scene. Naturally, this is a cool MOC (lots off cool going on, perhaps it's all the snow). Project Azazel brings us this Inception inspired MOC, with tons of great but subtle detail. Check out the tracks under the Snow Cat.
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.
Prepare to be amazed. This MOC is...well, look at it! Just as a static display it would be excellent, but it's a pop-up book! Can you believe it? A freakin' pop-up book!
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?

“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”
