We don't normally cover LEGO fan art of this type on this site, but I'm a huge Edgar Wright fan and these are too cool not to share. Behold the Cornetto Trilogy in LEGO by Arkøv! Can you imagine a shot-for-shot animated version of these films? Yeah, booooy!
In the 1865 novel by Jules Vern, From the Earth to the Moon, three gun fanatics plot the feasibility of being shot to the moon from a massive cannon. Not the brightest idea I suppose, but their meeting does provide a great set piece for Pippo Zane's latest build, The Gun Club. The creation itself is just bristling with details of a mid-1800s library/smoking room that is one far cry from the NASA command center of today.
Because judging by the matchup here, I'm assuming that's where this is going. Talk about double trouble, Mark of Falworth has crafted a serious little situation here. It kind of reminds me of a camp counseling team I experienced in 6th grade, those ladies wanted us dead.
When Inspector Gadget was reaching the peak of his popularity I'm afraid I was a bit old for cartoons (if that's really possible). What's funny is when I see him what pops into my head is Doug E Fresh. But now I want to flip the whole thing on it's head and when I hear Doug E Fresh I'll think of this outstanding MOC by Orion Pax. Check out his website for a full gallery.
Moko is back with yet another stunning MOC. This is KANTAM ROBO from the very popular Crayon Shinchan. Moko has a way of finding shapes and contouring I find mysterious and wonderful. He packs in detail without overbuilding, and minimizes clutter without underbuilding. And check out those launching fists!
Bricksonwheels is by far one of the best vehicle builders out there and never fails to please with his various trucks and motorcycles. His latest Peterbilt 362 is one amazing blast from the 80s that fits right in with the best of his creations. Look closely and you'll notice well thought-out details like the door handles, mud flaps and foot steps.
I know Bionicle and Hero Factory doesn't get much love on this blog, I have no excuse. But this series of figures and background story caught my eye. This is a fantasy middle age series called Hyde by Thirdeye88. I love the aesthetic of these, I really want to see some more creative photography of them, they tell a story.
This is beautiful. Here in California we don't see much of this classic Cape Cod architectural style, which has always made it seem just a bit more exotic for me. Everything here is spanish tiles and stucco. The building even more impressive with a lovely finished interior. I want to vacation here.
This was a treat to wake up to. I'm a kid of the 80's, when arcades ruled the world and nobody ever had spare quarters. This Bomberman MOC by 6kyubi6 is totally tubular (y'know, we really didn't say that). I especially like the controls, excellent use of the seed part of the Duel of Pirates. 1UP dude, 1UP.
There have been quite a few renditions of WALL•E in LEGO, many by some of my favorite builders. I think it's a testament to the excellent design and endearing qualities of a perfectly designed Pixar character. This version by Legonardo Davidy is pretty amazing, especially the SNOT work on his chest. Factor in that it was done in eight hours and, well, that's just stunning.
Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) was one of the first AFOLs I met as I was discovering I wasn't alone in my adult obsession with plastic bricks. He opened my eyes (see what I did there?) to wondrous possibilities with our favorite toy and continues to delight us all with fanciful and offbeat MOCs like this one.
I love to see builders break out of their normal genres. This wizard from traditionally castle guy floodllama is lovely. The character himself is great, but what really sells this MOC is the use of 1x2 trans plates to great effect, especially above the hand. I can't imagine how fragile that is, but it's amazing.
Little known fact: I was a breakdancer. Yes, it's probably hard to imagine me poppin' and lockin', but it's true. I was even briefly in a dance crew and we weren't half bad, even won free pizza at Showbiz Pizza Place, but I digress. This MOC by oLaF LM certainly brings back some memories, I can practically hear Twilight 22 blasting out of this thing. Now where's my parachute pants...?
Soul Caliber was probably my favorite game on the Dreamcast (oh, how we miss you Dreamcast). Many many happy hours were spent pummeling opponents in that game. One of the stand out characters was Ivy, not only for her amazing segmented whip sword, but of course for her costume and her figure (yes, totally silly, and clearly designed by a man). But she could certainly deliver some punishment. This Iron Builder inspired rendition by Pepa Quin is instantly recognizable.
Mark of Falworth brings us this excellent MOC with a twist. If you look closely you'll see the entire thing rests on a footprint of 8x8 studs, which is one of the categories of the Classic Castle Global Challenge VI. It's also part of a bigger story which I actually don't know anything about, but from what I gather after reading the description it's an epic tale.
Tested should be familiar to all you fellow nerds out there. It's basically the online home of the Mythbusters and friends. Well, they have a little segment that's fairly new called the LEGO Mystery Build, where they put together a small custom kit. Carlmerriam's latest MOC is their logo, and it's spiffy.
Within the LEGO community we tend to glorify new part usage but not always unique MOCs that fall outside of the normal LEGO themes of space, castle, city, Star Wars, etc. Builder robuko has succeeded in both NPU and building outside the box with his latest creation, Serpentine Hall. While technically a castle build for the ongoing Eurobricks Guilds of Historica building challenge this structure transcends the classic castle theme and really puts it into a class of its own.
6kyubi6 and oLaF LM continue to battle it out with the hemisphere seed part in their Duel of Pirates over at Brick Pirate. Here they become classic skate wheels, but the real star of this MOC is that board. The curved ends and brick-built graphics are awesome.
While wandering through Designer Con back in November, Guy Himber (V&A Steamworks) and I stumbled upon an artist named Jason Chalker. He had some great pieces on display and his Pimp2-D2 caught our eye. Now Guy has recreated this masterpiece at minifigure scale.
The people behind the book LEGO Space: Building The Future continue to amaze and please us with enticing little shots that didn't make the cut. I was privileged enough to experiment with photographing some of the fabulous MOCs in this book, and I truly wish I could have been there for all the shoots. If you don't have this book yet you're missing out.
