I love a little winter scene, and this is a fine example. The cracked ice is a great effect, and the snow caps on everything is very effective. Although it would appear that the little horns are just precariously balanced on those windows. Nice work Lukasz.
How would you like to be minding your own business on the outskirts of a battlefield and look up to see this bearing down on you? As hardsuits go, this is one of the beefiest, chunkiest and seriously intimidating I've seen. I love the little touches of back story too.
I don't like you either (not really), you just watch yourself (you don't really need to), we're wanted men (actually, it's just me, and I'm not wanted), I have the death sentence on twelve systems (totally not true).
Oh my. I wish I could see this in person, those walls and the overall design is phenomenal. Check out that texture! The work that went into this is staggering.
This is an irresistible little trio. I love the legs on the big guy, so spindly and completely at odds with the mass at the top, but they work so well. And hey, space goats.
Being a California native, the coastline is part of my life, and I'm thankful for the service of the men and women of the Coastguard. This MOC by mmbace captures the cutter perfectly, including the iconic red stripe at the front (brick-built even!). This ship is one of the coolest in all the branches, usurped only by the Navy hovercraft fleet in my opinion.
This cool steampunk MOC comes from Gabe Umland. It depicts Lahair on the deck of the Alegna, a floating boat. I love the design, it sorta reminds me of Mr. Kim's boat in Fifth Element, like a junk with no sail.
Legohaulic has crafted these emblems representing the five branches of the US military. They are, from left to right: Marines, Coastguard, Air Force, Navy and Army. These MOCs will be available at Creations for Charity.
Iron Builder separates the builders from the BUILDERS, as they craft marvelous MOCs at a frightening pace. TBB blogger and Iron Builder chairman Nannan has built this fantasy arena where great battles take place. And you can own it! Not only that but it can be signed by both chairmen and eight iron builders! It will be auctioned off at Creations for Charity very soon.
You can practically hear the faint minstrel music in the background, smell the dust in the air, taste the mead and feel the aged wood in this MOC by MinifigNick. So much detail and texture, I especially like the banners and the floor.
Well, this is quite the mashup, two Stephen King novels and LEGO. That was exactly the challenge for pif500 in the MocOlympics, and the results just work. Who knew It and The Shining could be combined.
Flickr user tkh brings us Nitroplus's iconic mascot Super Sonico. She's sporting her trademark headphones and classic curves in LEGO form here. Gotta love that pink hair.
For some reason this reminds me of the sets for Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides, but that's a good thing. I love the details and charm in this, especially the overhang and balcony.
Nice camera huh? Take a closer look. No really, take a closer look because it's FRIGGIN' LEGO!!! Orion Pax, you have blown my mind once again. Look at all that chrome! Look at that authenticity! Look at my jaw on the floor!
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.
