This hardsuit (I'm assuming it's a hardsuit, there's no description) by Tsan-Nien looks ready for action. I really like the arms on this thing, very cool. I don't know if it's a happy accident, but the photo on this one has a grungy immediacy to it, with blurred vignetting and barrel distortion adding drama instead of flaw, I dig it.
Sure some people have build sig figs of themselves, some may have even built a CudeDude self portrait. But have you ever seen four scales? Lego-Man-at-arms has done just that with this awesome little (or not so little) collection.
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.
The veil of secrecy has been lifted and I can finally share this news: I'm in the next LEGO Adventure Book!!! As you can tell I'm very excited about this book, and very proud to be a featured builder in it. Megan Rothrock contacted me late last year to ask if I would be involved and I jumped at the chance.
Read MoreThere'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.
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.
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.
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!
Cast ye eyes upon this matey, but beware...there be magic in this here box, black magic for sure. Ye be warned.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Monet painted his garden many times, exploring changes in color and time of day. Meredith Najewicz follows his lead, rebuilding the LEGO Art Water Lilies set with a darker palette and some creative part substitutions to cast the lilies in a different light.
