Midnight tonight (PST) is the end of the BrickNerd Pimp My Nerdly contest. There's still time to get your entry complete. You've got some stiff competition though, there's been a great many amazing entries so far. Get pimpin'!
Round two of the MocOlympics in underway, and the competition is heating up. These are all builders of great skill, as evidenced by this excellent MOC by jamesuniverse. For more amazing MOCs head over to the MocOlympics 2013 page.
This is quite possibly the greatest use of LEGO bands I've ever seen. Not only do they add shape and contour, but the color contrast and design is brilliant. And that's just one aspect of this overall stunning MOC. Excellent work Brickthing.
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and also to yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy. I'm going to Disneyland today, and this is one of my favorite rides, Big Thunder Mountain. This interpretation by Fat Tony 1138 is wonderful. I won't be riding any rides today though, it's time for MouseAdventure!
If you happen to be going to Disneyland today too and spot me, I'll give you a Nerdly promo brick and sticker!
I have a Taco Bell promotional item from Star Wars Episode 1 (yeah, I kept it, whatevs) with this same principle. I remember thinking it would be possible to build in LEGO, but never attempted it. I might just have to put one of these together some day, they're endlessly fascinating.
LoctiteGirl is back with another stunning MOC, a LEGO digital mixer. From a thumbnail you would swear it's just a picture of a mixer. The detail and authenticity is amazing, click through for many more pictures.
MikeVd is back with another anime character I know nothing about, but can't take my eyes off. This is Rikka Takanashi, who keeps her "Wicked eye" covered with an eye patch.
These small but diligent robots from Rogue Bantha are as cute as they are clever. That's a whole lot of excellent part use and brilliant design in two small packages.
It's just like a god of the underworld isn't it? You're there, minding your own business, getting ready to dive into a delicious plate of pasta and there he is, looking in the window. Can't a guy enjoy a little lunch without getting creeped on?!?
Wow, this is a serious looking weapon. Nick Brick is back with another amazing prop replica, this time from the much anticipated game Titanfall. Just look at all that detail and outstanding part use, it's a real thing of beauty.
Moko has stumbled onto a very interesting technique. It would seem that the sprue of the Belville heart shaped accessory part collection has some rather fascinating possibilities. It happens to be the same size as the pin holes on minifigure hair and accessories as well as the underside tube of plates. Check out his blog (in Japanese) for more info.
This is a wonderfully whimsical wee wizard by Lego-Man-at-arms. There's a lot going on here clever part use wise, but let's talk about the most obvious feature...best use of croissants ever!
I want one of these some day. Right now my build area is a quarter of my garage. It's not too shabby though with some super-size shelves and a couple tables from Ikea. But wouldn't a place like this to build be totally sweet? I might go with a slightly different color scheme though...yellow flowers.
This little guy oozes character. I can totally see him springing to life in a classic Harryhausen flick. I have no idea how those eyes are attached, but check out how the top of the head is attached, genius! Excellent work Brickthing.
It's always amazing to me what sparks creativity and art. This is a great example of how just "letting it happen" can lead to such great things. This started out as a tree, and evolved into a terrifying ghoul. Nice work Derfel Cadarn.
This book is utterly gorgeous, from cover to cover. It goes far beyond a typical compilation of pictures, Mike has put a ton of work into this. From the thoughtful order and arrangement, to the meticulous coloration of some backgrounds he has gathered the art of others and his own and created new art, greater than the sum of it's parts.

This little MOC by customBRICKS caught my eye. It's to promote their new biohazard containers, both empty and full. The build is clean and very nicely photographed, but what cracks me up is the notion that somewhere out there is an assembly line just diligently cranking out containers of hazardous green goo.
