Monde Cinema

I'm a sucker for art deco, and this lovely cinema by snaillad really caught my eye. I love the exterior walls on this, at once simplistic and cleverly detailed. But the real magic is inside. This interior just makes me happy, with the high ceiling in the lobby, the bar and just check out that stadium seating. I would love to see a movie here.

Turkey And 8 Crazy Nights

I couldn't have said it better myself, Dave Kaleta. Happy Thanksgiving and Chanukah everyone.

Shopping?

Planning on shopping this weekend? Already selected your outfit to camp out in on black Friday? Got your ads spread all over the kitchen table? Well if you're doing some online shopping soon we here at BrickNerd would be awfully thankful if you'd use the links on this site and help support us. And for something really unique, check out the BrickNerd Store.

Thanks!!!

Erebor

This MOC is so big and so detailed and so epic that writing this is the journalistic equivalent of pointing at a leather-bound copy of The Hobbit. Just gaze upon it and forget I was ever here. Go.

The Faun

This MOC from The Deathly Haliwell has a particular significance for me. I don't look back on the films that I've worked on with much pride, there's a lot of crap in my portfolio. But there is one film I did that I have no hesitation in saying I'm most proud of, Pan's Labyrinth. This is the title character, the Faun, and it's superb.

Iron Builder Draws To A Close

Things are coming to the end in the current battle for MOC supremacy between Brickthing and Onosendei2600. Both builders dropped the mic last night with some amazing final builds. Thanks to both of you for some awesome stuff to gawk at this month.

Borg

Shawn Snyder is one of my favorite builders, and these incredible Borg MOCs is an example why. His attention to detail, eye for contours and innovative part use just blows me away every time. Resisting him is futile (see what I did there?)

...Got The Trees On My Mirror So My Car Won't Smell...

Pardon my nod the the Beastie Boys. Brucywan continues his plot for world domination through the recreation of everything in LEGO. Here we see his classic pine Car-Freshner. All the ambience without the horrible pine scent.

BURN•E

For the uninitiated, BURN•E is a Pixar short directed by AFOL Angus MacLane that takes place in the world of WALL•E. This version by Brickthing is pure magic, and the fact that it's built in an afternoon is amazing (and discouraging for slow builders like me). Throw in that it's all inspired by the seed part of Iron Builder and you can see why Brickthing is a contestant.

Just In TIME For The Holidays

One of my favorite builders, and all around swell guy Chris McVeigh has some excellent holiday themed projects. You can get building guides on his website and you can order kits from his store. 

Transformers, Roll Out!

I was born just slightly too early to truly appreciate Transformers. They gained maximum popularity just as I was becoming more interested in filmmaking and girls than cartoons and toys. But I can truly appreciate great MOCs, and these from MacLane are just that, great.

Townhouses

Life in the big city means two things, endless choices on where to eat, and stacked humans. I've never lived in an apartment or townhouse such as this excellent micro scale version by T.Oechsner, but I've always been fascinated by them. I imagine it might get tiresome if you lived above something like a music store, but above a lovely cafe or bagel shop, mmmmm.

I Shall Build A Round Table, And A Hall About The Table, And A Castle About The Hall

Sorry, couldn't resist a little nod to one of my all time favorite movies, Excalibur. This build by Disco86 is just stunning. Everything is so clean and well presented. And that curved wall is amazing. I can't imagine how much tension that is under, but the stressed bricks are worth it when it call comes together this well.

LEGO Time Machine

You don't need to go 88mph, or hop in a TARDIS, or even a hot tub to travel through time, all you need is some bricks and mad skills. This quaint 1950's living room by {YVD} is 100% LEGO (with the exception of the wool) and absolutely charming. I find myself instantly transported to my grandmother's house. And now I'm craving pie.

The Fridge

This exceptionally cool mech comes from kwi-chang. And while it's designation is LHB-023, I like it's nickname, Fridge. There's tons of sweet details on this guy, but by far my favorite is the second set of arms that fold back when not in use. Click through for many more pictures of this beauty.

That's Damme Funny

Iain Heath (Ochre Jelly) can always be relied on for a laugh. And his take on Jean-Claude Van Damme's viral sensation Epic Split is no exception.

Wibbly Wobbly Vic Viper

On this, the 50th anniversary of Dr. Who, which falls in the month of Novvember, what could be more appropriate than a TARDIS Vic Viper? Sure it's bigger inside, but did you ever imagine it transformed into a fighter?

Rhosgobel, The Dwelling Of Radagast

We're just weeks away from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and the timing is perfect for this lush MOC by Legopard. It features the eccentric and naturalistic house of Radagast the brown (yes, the wizard with the bird under his hat).
