Gideon-Bot

Gravity Falls was one of my all-time favorite Disney cartoon series. It had a great story, fantastic art design, and memorable characters. One of which was Gideon, the pint-sized nemesis of the Pine twins. Aaron Gomez made a great brick rendition of Gideon's giant mecha The Gideon-Bot. Where's Mabel and her grappling hook when you need her?!

Mountain Of Art

Art has always played a major role in my life, and sharing it and encouraging it is one of the founding principals of BrickNerd. So this enormous brick-built tribute to it by Toltomeja really resonates with me. it depicts the very diverse and interesting history of art, from cave paintings all the way to modern art.

Freya

The king of greeb is back with a sweet little micro scale space cruiser. This is the Freya by Legoloverman, and she's lovely. She has the right balance of detail to panel, a distinctive profile and just the right amount of greebly goodness (I bet the bottom is a wonder to behold). All with that neo classic space aesthetic that Pete's famous for.

Kashima

Builder MikeVD is back with another whimsical character from the web game "Kantai Collection". This is Kashima, and like her battleship namesake, she's armed to the teeth. But that doesn't mean she's not cute. Just don't make her mad, because unlike most girls, she has depth charges.

Stumpy McHook

Avast there you lilly livered land lubbers, this here be Stumpy McHook by Vitreolum. He'll be wanting your treasure, or perhaps your ship. And you can tell by the way he carries his own cannon that he'll have no trouble taking it. Or maybe he will, legs don't lose themselves you know.

Whambulance

Accidentally dropped a ratchet on your face while adjusting your valves? Lowered the floor jack onto your foot? Catch your head in the wheel well when the jack stands failed? Better hop in the Whambulance by Proudlove, because sometimes the ride to the hospital needs to be just as dangerous as what sent you there. 

Panda Mech

If you're going to build a giant robot to pilot around and do battle, why not do it with a little panache? It doesn't have to look like all the other giant robots right? Sure Mechagodzilla looked like a giant lizard, and Mechani-Kong looked like an ape, but they were both sort of ugly. The Panda Mech by Dvd however...well it's adorable and deadly at the same time!

My Kind Of Room

At first I was going to say something about me liking this ultimate X-Wing room by tanKM when I was a kid, then I realized I'm a man child and I think I'd be ok with this right now. The color scheme, decorations and cockpit computer console bay window would be mind-blowing enough, but an X-Wing bed? Gimme gimme gimme!

Bigger On The Inside (And Pretty Big Everywhere Else)

I found it pretty serendipitous that I should have Doctor Who in the back of my mind (I'm in pre-production of an animated short) when I scroll down my Flickr feed and see this. Everyone knows the TARDIS is bigger on the inside, but have you seen a MOC as big as this one by Librarian-Bot depicting it? Not only that but a fantastic street scene loaded with references to the show. This has given me so much inspiration! Click through for many more pics, it's worth it.

Wiggler

So there you are, minding your own business, out for a stroll on a lovely sunny day. Then suddenly this apparently lost plumber comes along, bouncing around like an idiot and comes crashing down on you. You might be excused for going beast mode right? Builder Koen brings us this wonderful Wiggler.

Centaur Knight

This centaur knight by nobu_tary is a fantastic mashup of Knights Kingdom, Bionicle and Hero Factory, with just a little bit of System thrown in for flavor. All seamlessly blended into one fantastic fantasy character. Combine that with the pose and the photography and it all comes together to near perfection.

Enterprize

This jaw-dropping sailing ship by redmondej is hands down the single most magnificent minifig scale frigate I've ever seen. It's absolutely enormous, stunningly beautiful and mind-bogglingly detailed. The rigging alone is so intricate that you'd swear it's fully functional. And it's not just a pretty shell, it has three fully detailed decks inside. I truly hope I get to see this thing in person some day, it's gorgeous. Get yourself a snack, find a comfortable place to sit and click here for many, many more pictures, including details of the interior, vignettes and behind the scenes details.

Happy Easter...Or Else...

When someone mentions old Peter Cottontail you might be inclined to imagine a fluffy little bunny, or maybe even a fairly big bunny, all cheerful and delivering eggs. But not builder Thirdeye88, to him the bringer of eggs is a ripped uberhare with a Batman t-shirt. Happy Easter everyone!

"Cheap Sunglasses"

This gorgeous custom by timhenderson73 looks right out of a ZZ Top music video (as it's nickname suggests), or better yet a super hero movie. It's what happens when automotive design and whimsical but stylish fabrication meet, and it's absolutely beautiful. I'm not the type to dream about one day owning a supercar, or even a luxury car for that matter, but I can see myself cruising in this baby.

Florence's Machine

"Step right up ladies and gentlemen to see a wondrous marvel of the modern age! This steam powered wonder is Florence's Machine and you'll be amazed and astounded! Just look at all that plumbing and mechanical wizardry, it's truly a fabulous mechanization!"

"What's that son? What's it do? ... I have no idea boy and that's beside the point! Just look at those gears and listen to it chuff, it's an absolutely astonishing apparatus..."

Jeweled Eggs

I've never really been able to wrap my head around the Fabergé Eggs. I mean I understand sprucing things up, maybe even making the mundane magnificent, but eggs? That was until I saw these jeweled egg MOCs from builder Koen. If those famous Russian eggs opened to reveal cute little minifig scenes then it would have made a whole lot more sense to me, at least around Easter maybe.

Super Speedway

That's right race fans, this is how you display cars! Builder Brick Knight brings us the Super Speedway, and it's a seriously detailed and huge MOC. There's something for everyone here, including some super hero and celebrity cameos, race action, crash action and of course lots of snacks. Do yourself a favor and click through for tons more pics of this terrific MOC.

Gundam

Here it is, the one that started it all, the grandaddy of all mechs, Gundam RX-78-2 by nobu_tary. There may have been other giant robots before, but this is the one that turned mecha anime into a thing. Originally airing in 1979 this guy is probably older than many of you reading this post (but not me, man I'm old) but I'm guessing you've seen him before. That's staying power, and a testament to his pedigree.

Blitzcrank

My boys are going to dig this MOC by The real Eric Tsai, unlike me they actually play this game (sometimes for days at a time, get a job!) and know the characters. I dig it because it's a cool design, it's well built and has personality. A quick Google search (yeah, I'm that lame) reveals this guy to be steam powered, which makes him even more endearing in my book.
