Nerdy About The Bricks
Ever since I discovered the AFOL community (you mean I'm not the only one?) I've been a fan of Brandon's work. His building style is clean and whimsical, and rooted in art and pop culture. His diverse portfolio spans multiple genres and building styles, and bridges the LEGO fan world and the general public. All of his work has a touch of humor (and sometimes more than a touch) and a broad appeal.
Read MoreWhen you heard a song you liked on the radio when I was a kid, this is where you went to get it (yeah, dating myself again). The first record I remember buying on my own was a 45 of "Jungle Love", but I also remember joining to the Columbia Record Club when I was nine and scoring "Meco Star Wars" for a penny!
This MOC and buddy icon by Hen Peril cracks me up, and seems appropriate with halloween so close. I'm not sure what terrified this poor chicken, but it must have been something.
Simon Liu (Si-MOCs) has generously put his excellent entry into the Pimp My Nerdly contest up for auction to benefit Creations For Charity. For some reason he thought having me sign it would make it more appealing, go figure. There's also some BrickNerd swag included! If you want to get your hands on this excellent MOC and support a great cause visit this link.
UPDATE: Sold!
This is a gorgeous MOC, beautifully photographed. All black creations are notoriously hard to shoot (tip: it's all about the reflections) but Zceberus nailed it. I love the undercut rock work and the overall proportions. This thing is loaded with detail too, click through for many more pictures.
I don't post a lot of digital creations here, but when they're as wild as this I've got to. This is the Dameselfly Assault Helicopter (although from the font selection it looks kinda like a "Helloopter, which is just as fascinating) . The outside-the-box thinking on this one is great, like sandwiching airplane cockpits, brilliant!
They don't call him monster brick for nothing. Check out this latest supremely creepy arachnid from Matt Armstrong. Just in time for halloween! Now do you feel it? The crawly sensation on your leg? Go ahead, look, I'm sure it's nothing...
This makes me so friggin' happy. My best mate across the pond is the next Cuusoo set! Pete Reid's outstanding Exo-suit is going to be available for everyone to enjoy, I can't wait to get my hands on it. Congrats Pete, it's well deserved!
There are very few shows on TV that innovate, truly take chances and succeed consistently, but Robot Chicken is one of them. Yes, it's a bit juvenile, but it's also damn funny. This clever MOC comes from kashim_inc, and it cracks me up.
This is a dying art form, at least with two classic wheels of steel. I crack up whenever I pass a car with a "CD DJ'S SUCK" bumper sticker, but I have to agree somewhat. If you've ever listened to someone truly rock a setup like this, you probably understand as well. Nice build delta.triangle.
I love a good micro scene, and this one is not only excellent, it's also on Cuusoo, so there's a chance we could all have one. The whole thing is broken into modules, so you can build slowly over time, or reconfigure however you like. The castle walls are actually only three components, very flexible and clever. It's got my support!
Halloween is just over a week away. I have some decorations out, there's a chill in the air and pumpkin spice tea in my cup. Discovering this MOC by schfio while browsing just made me smile.
As many of you know I'm not much of a sports fan. I rarely watch any games, and I can't recall the last time I saw baseball being played. Maybe if the players used jetpacks and the ball was remote controlled it would capture my interest, I dunno. I dig this MOC though.
LEGOLIZE IT MAN describes this as a micro scale cruiser Ma.k style. I just call it sweet. Any MOC successfully integrating a brick separator is impressive, but one that does it this nicely is just rare. I really dig the lines on this.
Having spent the last two weeks trying to lose some weight this actually looks pretty appetizing. At least more appealing than wheat bread and celery, way more than brussels sprouts.
As anticipation of the second chapter the The Hobbit, several MOCs have been appearing. But few are as phenomenal as these. Bombur, Bofur and Bifur look ready for some serious adventure. You do realize Pate-keetongu, than now that you you've made this many, you're obligated to make the entire party, right? (and I can't wait to see it)
Is that how Street Fighter started? I can't remember, all the fighting games have blended into one blurry scrap. Personally I dug Soul Caliber on Dreamcast, but sadly it was short lived. But this MOC is super cool!
Now this is a seriously badass rod. With Halloween only two weeks away this seems perfectly timed. It's dark, angry and intimidating. Can you imagine what that engine would sound like?
