When Kosmas Santosa was challenged by friends to incorporate rail curves into his next MOC, he didn't flinch. Instead he rocked this outstanding ship with transforming capabilities. Not only did he nail the ship, the photography is excellent, this thing's gorgeous.
Micro builds make me happy, especially of this quality. Siercon and Coral are back (yes, it's getting a little repetitive, but look a this!) with another entry for Iron Builder. This is one of the coolest, dinky castles I've ever seen, and the action in the bay is icing on the cake.
My good buddies over at FBTB are running a cool contest (as opposed to mine). They would like you to turn the new mini VW camper into a Star Wars vehicle. Head over there and get all the details.
You can always count on Monster Brick to give you a unique take on something, like his Technic Batcycle. It's like OCC and Bruce Wayne got together to build something so radical the bad guys would just wet their pants when he came around a corner on it.
This is a seriously cool mech. I love the color scheme and pose. The use of angles and curves almost lends a disruptive pattern camouflage to it, almost as visually confusing as it is exciting.
Hey fellow LEGO nerds, it's contest time! We want to see how you interpret or trick out Nerdly. Your creativity is the only limit in this contest. Lino Martins sparked this with his hot rod Nerdly, but how about a Star Wars Nerdly, or a Mickey Mouse Nerdly, or a Neo Classic Space Nerdly, or super hero Nerdly? (I think you see where we're going with this) Get your bricks out and enter by September 30th!
To download instructions for Nerdly visit this link. But you don't have to follow them, get as creative as you want.

I can't decide what I like best about this. The brilliance of the build, the excellence of the photography or the fantastic description on Flickr. Three things that I can't decide between, like three sides of a triangle, continually going around and around in an impossible cycle.
m_o__k_e_y is back with another excellent mech. This one has a stance and structure I don't think I've seen before. I especially like the back of the legs and the connectivity of the legs to the body. Spindly and chunky at the same time. It's like the illegitimate love child of ED-209 and ATLAS.
Batten down the hatches, man the pumps, all men on deck! Check out this amazing entry for the Legends of Brickdom Global Adventure Challenge. The sea creature is absolutely stunning, check out those scales, how is that possible? Amazing work LukeClarenceVan!
If any of you read my article in issue 16 of BrickJournal you know I spent nearly a year in London in 2010-2011. You'll also know that one of the things that kept me sane was spending time with the guy that became my best mate across the pond, Pete Reid. We drank a lot of tea, built a lot of MOCs and did a lot of photography.
Read MoreI'm going to be sad when this round of Iron Builder is over. I'm still getting over when BrucyWan went up against CMaddison, so many MOCs, just, so many. Today we have an exceptional little mech, with rotors no less, up against an absolutely brilliant build of a watermelon caught in the act of being decimated by a sniper's bullet.
One of my favorite games as a youth was Clue. An exercise in deductive reasoning, and morbid fun. Poor Mr. Body always started out the same, dead. One of the most fun and completely pointless additions to the game were the tiny props. They served no purpose, but we loved to play with them every game. I declare that it was Zack, in the Legoratory with the brick separator!
...And a washing machine for a head. Fighting stains is serious business on this bot's home world, wherever it is. And if you are unfortunate enough to be wearing stained clothing in proximity to it, prepare to have a dark fate brought upon you.
Plants that eat things are disturbing. MOCs of plants that eat things are fabulous. Mark of Falworth is still battling fiercely in the Iron Builder, and this latest MOC proves that the hunger is still there. But is it as great as the hunger of this plant?
This micro building by Luap31 is so clean and well done it could be confused for an official set. Although I have to confess I have no idea if this is a real building or not. I especially like the profile bricks on their side, and the large art piece out in front.
I'm not sure of the details on this MOC, I think it's a collaborative build but there's no description. I am sure it's friggin' awesome though. It's an epic battle with multiple fights involving several super heroes. There's tons going on here so you'll have to click through and check out some of the closeups. My favorite details are the "o" from the hotel smashing the car and the street damage where Superman is having the smack down put on him (I'm sure he'll win in the end)
Lighting options from LEGO are limited. You have light bricks, Power Function lights and older, clumsy options like train lights and fiber optics. Luckily there's several aftermarket options to choose from, and now there's a new player in town, Brickstuff.
Read MoreI love when a builder totally thinks outside the box. When the_jetboy saw Jabba's body the first thing he thought was "those would make great shoes" (the first thing I thought was Jabba eats like I do). Add a Deathstar for a head and a wigwam for a body and you have Mr. Mietek, genius!
There's so much about this I love I'm having trouble keeping my composure. Actually, who's going to care, the puppies? (does little happy dance, no one knows). This is an excellent little bit of Photoshop and photography. It hits the mark for total retro look, right down to the Brickarms ray gun. There's some great subtle humor in the text too. I want to watch this series right now!
Iron Builder rages on, this latest by Siercon and Coral is as amusing as it is impressive. The seed part is all over this MOC, from the needle on the gauges to the hula skirt. The detail of the competition in the back seat though, genius.
