Hero Factory Sphere

The notion that you could build stable geometric solids with Bionicle or Hero Factory would not have occurred to me not very long ago. But builders like NorbyZERO and Sparkytron have opened my eyes. This sphere is genius.

When Minotaurs Attack...Tonight At 11

There's no description for this, nor is the name of the image particularly helpful, but it's a pretty stunning build. There's loads of detail on this MOC, everywhere you look. And some really cool and subtle (and not so subtle) architecture techniques. Click through to check out the larger image, it's worth it.

Kubelwagen

Ah, the Kubelwagen, grandpappy of the notorious VW Type 181, the Thing. I've always had a soft spot for vintage VW, even this ugly old beast. Legohaulic built this awesome little MOC as a commission, and totally nailed it.

Zam's Blaster

I love a good prop reproduction, and this one is sweet. The tapered barrel is especially nice, and the grip, wow. A very clean and elegant build, nice work Cole. 

Captain America Vs The Red Skull

Kaboom! Wasn't expecting that were you? The Cap makes his own door in this cool little diorama by Julius No. I love captured action, especially in photos (in real life it's always cool, but a little weird) and the this wall-busting action is excellent. And check out that custom Red Skull figure, nice!

Black Box Of Magic

Cast ye eyes upon this matey, but beware...there be magic in this here box, black magic for sure. Ye be warned.

There Be Pirates Here

Aye, here at BrickNerd we keep a weather eye open on the horizon and the past. These scalawags be the most notorious pirates ever to sail, Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Hector Barbosa. Mind yer gold matey, ye be warned.

Silver Moon

Avast there, here be a fine example of mechanical metal suit, and it be shiny as well. And that be a mighty strange cannon it carries, but deadly no doubt. You have plenty to fear landlubbers, take heed.

Saddle Up Apone...

I just watched this movie the other night. Still holds up beautifully 27 years later. This MOC depicts the scene where they discover the location of the colonists.  This brilliantly detailed and lit interior comes from Missing Brick, who has a whole series excellent scenes from Aliens. Custom minifigs by Matthias.

Thanks for the head's up Pete 

The Black Pearl

BricksOnWheels is a builder after my own heart.  Not only am I a big Pirates of the Caribbean fan (the ride and the movies...well, some of the movies) but I actually spent nearly a year of my life in London working on POTC4. This pirate themed Scania truck is just beautiful, and I recognized this lovely pirate as soon as I saw her.

Sandyman's Mill

It's been a bit of a LOTR week for me, I even watched Fellowship of the Ring (well, the first half of the extended edition) yesterday. So the lovely village of Hobbiton is fresh in my mind. And this MOC by TheBrickAvenger would fit in perfectly. I really like the stonework on this, and that roof is perfect.  

The Abyss

This cool little mech by Toto Hermanto looks like it would be right at home in the deepest undersea trench, and in the darkest corners of space. Give this thing a trans yellow canopy and it would be pretty neo classic space. 

Super Yetee Bros.

 Chris McVeigh created this MOC for THEYETEE, an awesome online t-shirt company. They're opening a gallery this weekend in Aurora Illinois and invited artists to create Yeti and bigfoot inspired art. If you're in the area drop by and if not, check out their site, they have crazy, nerdy, geeky cool tees.

The Tower

Oh my. I was all set to go out and set up to shoot episode 106, but I thought "one last peek at Flickr". That's when I saw this. I implore you dear readers to stop what you're doing and click through. Then look at the larger versions of this and all the pictures. This is an absolute visual treat, from bottom to top. Outstanding work Kris_Kelvin.

The Comedian

Pate-Keetongu brings us an excellent rendition of the way cool, but ill-fated Comedian from The Watchmen. It appears to be fairly posable, always a challenge with characters. I like the doors as shoulder pads too, clever. The head is the real star of this MOC though, it's excellent.

Leopard Linger

Here at BrickNerd we look back from time to time. This MOC by Bram Lambrecht was at my first LEGO convention, BrickCon 2009, and it blew my mind. This, as well as a number of other incredible creations opened my eyes to the artistic and sculptural potential of my favorite bricks. 

Mecha Link

Oh yeah, a Gundam style mech of Legend of Zelda's Link! Julius Von Brunk has fused japanese style mecha and nintendo's classic character, and the result is greater than the sum of it's parts. Ganondorf's about to get his butt KICKED. 

Come On!

How is it possible that a scene so thrilling, so iconic, so groundbreaking could be depicted so...cute. Yes, it's Ripley in the powerloader vs the queen alien, or should I say squeen? It's adorable!

Oresteia

Master of the small ship Phall Macaroni calls this a NB-02 courier class, I call it sweet. Great use of colors, angles, details and design. Not only is the ship excellent, check out that stand. It implies some kind of robotic functionality, very cool.
