This lovely beast springs from the imagination of Lego Builders. According to the designer it's influenced by the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren MP4-12C, and Rossion Q1. All I know is it would be right at home in a Bond movie or ripping around the track on Top Gear. Or perhaps a certain Bruce Wayne would be interested in a test drive.
Iron Man has always been my favorite super hero. I didn't read many comics as a kid, but when I did, it was Spiderman or Iron Man. And of course the movies are outstanding (the first is still my favorite, but I always prefer the genesis stories). This rendition of the mark VII armor by mmccooey makes my geek heart soar.
(update, turns out this came out some time ago, but I missed it. It's been reposted with some Photoshop loving'. It still kicks ass)
This little fire engine from Brickthing is loaded with oodles of clever building. Everywhere you look there's something really interesting going on. I especially like the front fender attachments and the angled body sides, very cool.
I love this, I absolutely love it. The snow, the design, the colors, the techniques, all amazing. There seems to be a growing trend to this building style. And while it seems totally unstable by classic building standards, what it lacks in structural integrity it more than makes up for in sheer wow factor.
I don't post techniques very often, but I think this is very clever. 6kyubi6 shared this palm tree technique, and it's some of the best palms I've ever seen.
I'm happy to announce the BrickNerd Store is now open, sorta. It's in beta and rough, but it's open. Check the link in the menu above.
More stuff will be continually added in the coming months. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
I remember seeing American Graffiti when I was a kid. It couldn't have been when it was originally released because I was only 5, but I remember seeing it in a theater (we mainly went because it had Richie Cunningham and cool cars in it). I do recall being quite smitten with this beast, and I still am, especially rendered in my favorite bricks by none other than the Mad Physicist himself.
This is a pretty awesome combination of color, detail and style. Although I question the practicality of a tripod design (there's a reason these don't really exist) I have to admit they look badass. Nice work nate_decastro
Vic Vipers are aplenty these days, and it's hard to stand out in the crowd. But this one from stenertje caught my eye. It has a utilitarian and gritty nature to it. I really like the cockpit and that broken dish just adds to the grunge, very cool.
These dapper gentlemen and lady are very proud of the museum's latest acquisition, the full skeleton of Diplodocus carnegii. The use of different small elements to diminish scale, like the clips moving to minifig hands along the tail, is fantastic. And the overall proportioning is splendid. Nice work, MolochBaal.
I've waited a long time for this book. Pete Reid confided in me quite some time back that he and Tim were working on a book, and working hard on it. I knew it was about space, I knew it would be awesome and I knew it would be out around now. But that's all I knew. I wanted it to be a surprise, I didn't ask for any more info and he didn't offer. Well, it's finally in my hands and let me tell you, it's gorgeous.
Read MoreEveryone's getting ready for the holidays. Traditionally Thanksgiving kicks things off, but I was seeing Christmas crap in Michael's in August. Anyway, if you like football, drunk distant relatives and copious amounts of food, Thanksgiving is your day. And you only have a little more than a week to wait. Mr. Rancor couldn't wait, but thanks to DigiNik13 and this awesome picture, we can all look forward to a little gobble gobble.
As many of you know, I'm a Disney fan. In fact I was supposed to be at Disneyland today, but plans changed. It would have been nice to be there to celebrate the 85th birthday of everyone's favorite mouse. This MOC by Polywen is excellent, one of my favorite Mickey's ever done in bricks.
I remember building the LEGO Discovery Mars Rover set as I watched the live feed from NASA on landing day. There's something about space technology that just lends itself to LEGO construction. This awesome MOC by Rogue Bantha is proof of that. It's just one of the many, many phenomenal MOCs in LEGO Space, Building The Future.
I just got my review copy of this book and first impressions are really good. I'll be doing a proper review in the next few days, but it's awesome!
I remember distinctly being 9 years old and watching this scene, my heart soaring. Then there was that moment when I thought, "hey, Chewie didn't get a medal, what the heck?"
This is from an upcoming book called LEGO Galaxy: Build Your Own Universe. Coming out in December.
CCCXI is heating up and the entries are getting more eye-popping. I love the houses in this MOC by Derfel Cadarn, with their sagging roofs and rich detail. And the textures on those walls is amazing. Really, how can you go wrong with two jesters fighting to the death?
We had our first holiday party last night. Actually, we called it a pre-holiday kick-off party. Since traditionally things don't really get started until after Thanksgiving. But you wouldn't know it by walking into Wal-Mart, or any other retailer for that matter. So what the heck, let's get this season started with some charming little elves from True Dimensions.
This is a seriously mean looking machine. Shelby is synonymous with muscle, and this MOC by Sheepo is faithful to the name. There's quite a few pictures of this beast on Flickr, click through to gawk.
It's a simple proposition, and very inviting. It's my sentiment exactly when I see a pile of bricks. The potential for a simple handful of bricks is limited only by your imagination. And beyond concept this is a nice MOC and photograph on it's own. A cheery little invitation to let your creativity soar.
