Here we go again. Moko has posted yet another totally awesome anime MOC, and I have no idea who it is. Yes, I could go to Google to find out and pass myself off as somewhat knowledgable, but that's not how I roll. Yup, blissfully anime ignorant, but appreciative of a good MOC. Check out that captured action!
Jon Hall is back with another spectacular aircraft. The color scheme on this one is excellent, the brown and tan contrast along with the white stripe are just perfect. Not a bad bit of photoshop lovin' on this either. As always, the complete package.
One of the more beautiful locations in the Star Wars trilogy (yes, I said trilogy) was Bespin. Realized almost exclusively through matte paintings originally, it was unique and lovely. It's too bad Han got frozen, Luke got the crap beat out of him, C-3P0 got blowed up real good and Lando went out of business (assumed). It probably put a bit of a damper on the place.
It's odd how a single film can transform a thing forever huh? The image of clownfish used to just conjure up images of tropical reefs and sea life. Now you see one and all you can think is Nemo! Nice MOC Amida Na.
Megan Rothrock and Mark Stafford lost a dear friend this week, their dog Bandit. I was fortunate enough to visit Megs and Mark while overseas and had the privilege of spending time with this awesome canine. Megan built this MOC a few years ago and it captured his essence perfectly.
Bandit, you were awesome.
I'd have to say, if it comes to looking through stuff, super strength, being bullet-proof, super breath, and, oh I don't know, FLYING Superman just might have the advantage. But hey, if you want to have a foot race then sure.
I have a confession to make, I still haven't seen Pacific Rim (rolls 20 sided die, OOOHHH critical hit, nerd cred -12). It's not that I didn't want to, but seeing movies where I live can be difficult and/or disappointing. But I promise to see it on Blu-ray soon. In the mean time I'll gawk at this amazing MOC by OliveSeon, holy amazeballs!
Devid VII has miniaturized one of my favorite sets in recent history, the Monster Fighters Haunted House. This is the same scale as the mini modulars and would fit right in as that spooky house you'd cross the street to avoid walking past.
It was exhausting, exhilarating, funny, sad, inspiring, unnerving, painful, refreshing, frustrating, rewarding and candid. But mostly it was just fun.
It was BrickCon, and I can't wait until next year.
From the "whop whop whop" at the street light to the roar of the engine as it takes off and from the tassels hanging from the grips to the glisten of the chrome, nothing is like a Harley. Bricksonwheels captures the essence of the HOG in this beautiful MOC.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for a good Zelda MOC, and this is a good Zelda MOC, and now you can have one too. Baron Von Bronk has made instructions for this awesome mech interpretation of Link from The Legend of Zelda. Head over to his blog to get your grubby little mits on his instructions and LDD files.
CustomBRICKS is back again (it's only been a day!) with another remarkable brick-built caricature. There is just something so appealing about a minimalistic approach. The plan is mount this (and others) in shallow shadow boxes, and I think it's brilliant. I wouldn't mind one of these hanging on my wall.
I love Coke, and there's no better way to enjoy it than in a bottle. Especially if you can get your hands on one bottled in Mexico where they still use cane sugar (mmmmmm). And from the looks of it theworldinbricks feels the same way with this two foot tall tribute to everyone's favorite soft drink.
It is widely known I'm a Disney nerd as well as a brick nerd. So this very interesting MOC by customBRICKS just makes me smile. Each element is brick built, but all the pieces are free floating. It's an interesting style.
Here's a seriously militaristic looking bipedal mech. It almost has a stealth feel to it with all the facets, and a very functional but menacing aesthetic. I can just imagine what this thing would sound like and move like, it would be sweet.
It's BrickCon time! Tables are being set up, MOCs are getting unloaded and AFOLs are gathering. I'm going to be producing at least most of the next episode of BrickNerd right here, should be interesting.
First off, let me say that I'm absolutely blown away by the response to this contest. I never dreamed there would be so many entries, and I certainly didn't expect the quality to be so totally awesome. I am humbled and honored to have inspired so much quality building, you're all amazing.
But there can be only three winners (at least by my totally arbitrarily set rules) so here they are...
1st Place - Lego Junkie
Nerdly might be a strong personality, but he's also plastic. So careful where you point that magnifying glass.
2nd Place - Ochre Jelly
There have been many rumors of the origins of Nerdly, this is just one. I'm not confirming or denying this, but I will caution against wounding him, just in case he has acid blood.
3rd Place - customBRICKS
If at first you think you see Nerdly, don't be surprised if he transforms. He is in disguise.
Thank you all for entering, you made the judging VERY difficult with so many amazing MOCs. Speaking of judging, I'd like to thank everyone who helped judge the contest, I know how hard it was. Winners, your prizes will be in the mail soon, just as soon as I'm back from BrickCon.
"Cute and cuddly my foot! Come here you, I'm gonna throw ya a beating"! I can't help but think that even with our tendency to anthropomorphize animals, they still have a range of personalities we never consider. Think about it, somewhere on this planet there just has to be a bunny who is just nothing but a jerk.
This is phenomenal, a fully functional Raspberry Pi computer built into a LEGO version of BMO, the living game console from Adventure Time. And when I say fully functional, I mean it. It's a Linux computer, capable of gaming, word processing, web browsing, whatever. Check out the video!
Spotted some bargains at Amazon this morning, thought I'd pass them along. If you're interested please consider using these links and supporting BrickNerd
