I absolutely love these, and I know Mrs. BrickNerd will too. Builder 'rolli is getting ready for Christmas with these adorable Disney princess ornaments. There's Leia (yeah, she's technically a Disney princess now), Ariel, Snow White, Tiana and of course Elsa and Anna. I just might have to recreate these for our house, they're awesome.
I've come to expect several things in my daily browsing of Flickr: To be amazed that Yahoo has changed yet something else, someone will have a picture of a LEGO Stormtrooper doing something, and a new MOC from Karf. I can think of no more prolific builder than this unassuming man from down under, and he continuities to amaze and delight me with daily offerings of whimsy and humor.
Read MoreNow that we're past my first countdown of December, we can start counting down to Christmas. This lovely interior by sanellukovic sets the mood perfectly. You can practically hear the clock ticking, Sleighride playing softly in the background, the fire crackling and sound of wrapping paper giving way to excited children's hands. I hope there's some LEGO under that tree.
Ever wonder why Batman is so grumpy this time of year? Happy holidays from BrickNerd!
It's finally here, opening day of Star Wars The Force Awakens. I can think of no more fitting post than this brilliant new X-Wing by Legonardo Davidy. I saw the movie last night, my cheeks hurt today from all the smiling. May the force be with you all.
This beautiful MOC by Pate-keetongu just might have the best sense of motion of any MOC I've ever seen. It seems to be a moment in time just as much as it is a lovely sculpture. She's got all the makings of a goddess of Endor, can't you just see ewoks worshiping her? The contoured forms, creative part use and pose all add up to a MOC that just begs to be admired, and admire it I do.
You want to hear my fan theory that the Predator is actually a Sith? Too bad because I don't have such a silly theory. I do have a strong admiration for this latest build by Grantmasters though. I've always been a big fan of this amazing character brought to life by the late, great Stan Winston and his crew. It's one of the things that sealed my ambition to work in creature effects.
I can't believe Star Wars The Force Awakens is almost here! We're counting the hours and what better way to kill some time and have some fun than to build? So we're building Poe's X-Wing Fighter live! Join me and James Morr at 10am PST. It's way more interesting than sitting in line (which is where you'll find me tomorrow!)
I love this interior by Littlehaulic (and the rest of the house it's in). It's got so many little details and subtle techniques that it almost looks like just a photograph of a room and would be right at home in a Ralph Lauren catalog. I have to assume there's a TV on the fourth wall (the one we're looking "through") otherwise how are you going to watch Star Wars in bed?
I won't pretend I know anything about Steven Universe, and a quick Google search looked like a deep rabbit hole I really didn't feel like going down this morning. What I do know is this is a first class character build by Ilia with tons of clever techniques and awesome modeling. And you know what else has a universe? The Star Wars universe, that's what. (yup, lamest attempt yet)
A little known part of Jedi training is the ability to sleep or meditate on a bed of nails. Luke never got this training since there were very few beds of nails on Dagobah. No one on the Jedi council has ever disclosed how this may be a benefit, but that didn't stop 6kyubi6 from recreating this mysterious ritual.
When Threepio was lost on the dune sea of Tatooine he encountered one of these, the skeleton a Krayt Dragon. The Krayt is an indigenous species of Tatooine, feared for their large size and fierce temper. They feed mostly on bantha, whose slow speed and poor eyesight make them easy prey for the...what's that?...tyrana-wha? Oh....
...Nevermind.
Nice build -derjoe-
I'm having flashbacks to being a kid, and the agonizing wait until Christmas. Where time itself can be empirically observed to slow down, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. I am of course talking about the four day wait I have until Star Wars comes out. Perhaps if I had this wonderful clock by Legonardo Davidy the hands wouldn't mock me to the same level.
OK, here's the pitch: We reboot Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, but we set it on Hoth. A small astromech is mocked and outcast by the other astromechs for his shiny dome. He befriends a young Luke Skywalker wants to become a dentist (here depicted in a Brick Sketch by Powerpig) and they set out on an adventure. There they meet a cantankerous prospector, Han Solo, and flee from the abominable wampa...
Over the past year or so, Joe Perez, aka MortalSwordsman, has been building small scale animals to capture their natural movement and energy doing what they do best. From chasing down a gazelle in Kenya, to snatching a salmon from an Alaskan river, each one of these shots is right out of a nature film.
Speaking of films, I'd like to see Joe's version of a Tauntaun running through the snow!
I have it under good authority that with the notable increased need for christmas requests for Star Wars gifts this year Santa has had to upgrade his sleigh to accommodate deliveries. This model by sm 01 was reconstructed from eye witness descriptions of test flights over the Norway. Best of luck Santa! (oh, and by the way, I'd like a remote controlled BB-8).
You know what The Force Awakens won't have? Batman, that's what. You know what you probably don't have on your chest right now? This sweet Batman design from Shirt Punch, that's what. That can be fixed pretty easily by clicking this link.
This latest MOC by 6kyubi6 is a total flashback. Being a kid of the 80's I "invested" plenty of quarters in arcades. I especially like the use of the foil handles as air hockey paddles. And those stickers? Totally legit. They're the printing bleed on an official sticker sheet, the overprinting around stickers cut to shape, genius. The only thing that's missing is a classic Star Wars vector game, my all-time favorite.
Builder Djokson describes this Yoda as "tablescrappy", I describe it as brilliant. It's a fantastic and clever combination of a small number of unconventional parts. I especially like the pose, he seems to be sizing me up. Which is surprising since size matters not.
