Deathly Halliwell is back with another stellar bust, this time it's a green dragon. This works very well as an overall sculpture, the pose and weight distribution is excellent. I also really like the expression, the lowered brow and slit eyes give it a really menacing look.
INT GOTHAM APARTMENT - NIGHT
A cloaked, dark figure stands in a moody hallway, eerily lit from behind. A cord dangles from a communication device as the figure slowly paces, a faint ringing is heard.
Voice (O.S.)
Gotham pizza, can I take your order?
The dark figure stops pacing as his senses tingle, ready for action, he clears his throat,
Batman
Yes, I heard there's a situation there. I'm here to help.
Voice (O.S.)
Umm, I'm not sure what you mean.
Batman
(after an awkward beat)
I need a pizza.
Voice (O.S.)
Yes sir, what would you like on it?
Batman
Do you have any...dark ingredients?
Voice (O.S.)
Ummm, olives are pretty dark I guess.
Batman
Perfect. And I need it delivered under cover of night.
Voice (O.S.)
Well, it's 9:30 at night, so... yeah
I think we can all relate to this sometimes, it's particularly applicable to me these days. Between animation for Beyond The Brick, all things BrickNerd and recent work on Expendables 3, I feel like this all the time. But we carry on cmaddison, we carry on.
If you haven't all noticed, there's another Iron Builder raging on. This bout pits onosendai2600 against 6kyubi6, and I'm certain we'll see some amazing MOCs in the next month. Like these two fantastic time pieces.
If you've seen Hellboy this should be instantly recognizable. And if you haven't...WHY NOT!? It's unclear if this is inspired by Mike Mignola's original comics or Guillermo del Toro's brilliant interpretation of those comics. Either way, this MOC by buriedbybricks is phenomenal.
Stormbringer is back with a couple more brilliant MOCs to add to his collection inspired by Dreamwork's How To Train Your Dragon. This time around is the Hideous Zippleback and the Monstrous Nightmare. I especially like the design of the eyes, very clever.
I love the retro feel of this relief mosaic by Burriedbybricks. It's hard to believe that Batman is 75 years old, he doesn't look a day over 35. But you can get a bit of a hint of his age from his raspy voice.
I remember being a kid and going to the local K-Mart. Out front there was always a small assortment of completely awful quarter rides. I don't recall ever riding on one however until I was a teen, odd. If this had been out front though, you would have never talked me off of it!
Join me as I build LEGO Architecture 21020 Trevi Fountain live. It's guaranteed to be at least 14% more exciting than reruns of golf.
The Google+ hangout just started, follow the link to chat live and watch without the delay. Building starts at 8pm PST. Join me!
Hey LEGO fans, it's time for another Live Build. Tonight I'll be building the LEGO Architecture 21020 Trevi Fountain. It's totally more fun than waiting for the clothes dryer.
The build starts at 8:00pm PST, join me!
“There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”
I know what you're thinking "I'm sure by the time we're soaring in space in large ships exploring the cosmos computers will no longer use large integrated circuits". But what you don't know is that this wondrous MOC by Legoloverman is actually a nano processor, only a few microns across and built by tiny, tiny robots.
Raise your hands if you love the food truck! There's a taco truck in town we visit at least every other week, awesome food. And I've spent whole segments of my life living off one (not to be confused with film set catering, my loathing for movie food is infamous). So this excellent little LEGO Ideas project caught my eye. All the details are perfect, I just wish LEGO made a taco element.
As in, check this mic out. Elvis used one, there was one on the podium when Kennedy rallied America to space, and Martin Luther King Jr's dream was recorded with one. It's the Shure 55 and it's as classic as they come. This version by the great Bruce Lowell is an instant classic as well, it's perfect.
When I was a kid I had a really cool Revell model kit of the Red Baron. This triplane by matthewvelar1 totally reminds me of it. Hopefully his will be allowed to sit quietly on a shelf and look nice, and isn't totally smashed by a certain little brother while trying a get a book down while I look on in horror from the upper bunk...I digress...
Well, since Tommy is gone on vacation and far away from anything resembling an internet connection, I guess that leaves me in charge and there are going to be some changes around here! Starting right now we are going to feature Castle MOCS and Castle MOCS only. I'm thinking we should re-brand the site, CastleNerd, and slap a kettle hat on nerdly.
OK, not really, but it was a good thought.
Anyway, on to Mr. Patrick Massey's latest MOC, THE BATTLE AT HELL'S GATE! Dun dun dun. All joking aside this is a pretty sweet creation that Patrick has put together. I am a huge fan of the stellar rock work and the exceptional minifigure posing. Also, and take note fellow builders, I really think the evil under-dark of the fantasy castle genre is heavily under represented and would like to see lots more of this.
Make sure to click through the entire series of pictures in this build so you can see all of the little up close posing details.
Pokemon was big at my house once upon a time. I never really got into it, but both of my boys sure did. I did think Cubone was pretty cool looking, and I always hated Mr. Mime, he just looked stupid. I can't say I recall this particular Pokemon by Legohaulic, but I know there's been many more added since we were attempting to "catch em all". Then again, this isn't from Pokemon, so that explains a lot. What do you mean there's no Pokemon in Ninjago?
Hey Brick Fans. If it feels like I'm a bit out of touch this weekend, it's because I am. I'm setting sail on the Disney Wonder and I won't have internet, cell phone, smoke signals or semaphore (well, maybe semaphore, but I won't understand it). Speaking of the Wonder, check out this awesome MOC by Shawn Steele. It's now on LEGO Ideas and needs your support. It would make a very cool, very large set.
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and have a few adventures. In honor of my visit to Disneyland today I'm posting this awesome MOC from Fat Tony 1138 of one of my favorite rides, Indiana Jones Adventure, Temple of the Forbidden Eye.
