Mmmmm, Bento Box
/Hungry? How about some Japanese? Take a look at all this stuff, take a close look. It's all LEGO. Yes, even the glass and the napkin are LEGO! This isn't the greatest photo, but it's a brilliant build. Nice work Garth.
The Isle Of Illumina
/This micro castle caught my eye. I love the contrast of the white castle against the gray rock work. That's a pretty nifty couple of dragons or whatever they are as well. It's like a jabberwocky and a pterodactyl, though I'm not certain those two existed at the same time. It's like brontosaurus and Fred Flintstone, only partially based on fact ;-)

*Whonk*
/I'm required by the 1997 CNC (conventions of nerddom council) provisions and guidelines to blog this. In strict compliance and adherence to policies under sections 42, 1138 and 3.14. Nice one Gothamscene.
I'm a nerd, so sue me.
Iron Builder Rages On
/The epic battle continues, and what a battle it is. Mark of Falworth brings us a wonderful island, truly a pirate's paradise. With lush trees, a lookout tower and beautiful rock work. Siercon and Coral counters with a cartoon favorite, Phineas and Ferb. Check out Perry!
The Cornetto Trilogy: Portraits In LEGO
/Brandon Griffith has created six phenomenal portraits for the upcoming Edgar Wright show at Gallery 1988. Featured are Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as all their characters from the "Cornetto Trilogy"; Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and World's End. The show runs from August 20th through September 7th. More info can be had here. You got red on you...
Meeting Of Heroes
/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.
"Get Away From Her You BI*@#!"
/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.
Micro Fishing Village
/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.
NerdlyRod!
/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?
K.E.W.B.
/The Kinetic Energy Wobulator Block. I can't stop looking at this MOC, it's captivating. The offsets, the gaps, the colors, it's great. A very nice piece expertly displayed, nice work Jacob.
Morias' Mill
/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!
Cessna 172
/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.
Stained Glass Link
/
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.
Support These Zelda Cuusoo Projects!
/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.
Tide
/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.
Oh I Loooove Trash (Talk)
/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.
The Adirondack Express
/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 Snow Cat
/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.
