I have a bit of a weakness for retro MOCs, I'm also a fan of chrome, so this 1930's Spindizzy tether car from Sir Nadroj naturally caught my eye. Not only is it stylish and appealing, it's also 100% "legal", no custom parts or modifications, splendid!
Dane Erland (AKA Mechanekton) was key model builder for BrickNerd Studio's animation on Beyond The Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary. He built like mad for weeks on end, and created some stunning pieces for it. But the project didn't require any mecha, so it's nice to see him building again in his standard genre. I'm just not sure about his naming skills...
This latest castle by ZCerberus falls somewhere between humongous and massive in scale. And, a lot of times, when we see builds this large they tend to lose detail due to the magnitude of time it takes to build something on this scale. This castle is clearly the exception. You can tell that a lot of thought was put into the typically more boring parts of the castle, including the injection of color and symbols into the traditionally bland castle walls. Additionally, ZCerberus has done a nice job of creating an interesting and foreboding environment surrounding the keep.
No, not those briefs, these briefs. I've uploaded a couple time-lapse videos, Trevi Fountain and Ghostbusters.
The latest Iron Builder continues to rage on, and neither opponent is letting up. Today's MOCs couldn't be more different, and each is amazing in it's own way. Onosendai's zipper could be on anything, use your imagination (keep it clean kids). And anyone from "tornado alley" here in the US knows the awesome power of the tornado, but they've never seen one as cute as this MOC by Kyubi.
If you went up in my attic right now you'd find dozens and dozens of Spawn toys. Todd McFarlane shook up the toy industry just like he shook up the comic industry and it elevated everyone's game. One of the incredibly imaginative characters is Clown/Violator, expertly depicted here in brick form by Pistash.
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.
