There's a whole lotta NPU going on in this new little gem from Karf Oohlu. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the use of the saddle as a cockpit, that's some inspired thinking. Then I started looking all over the vehicle, the wheel configuration, the use of the handcuffs, the color scheme. It's a unique and compelling vehicle, in a surprisingly small package.
Although I admire all types of LEGO creations, it's not often that I see a creation and awe in the same way as I do a painting or a sculpture. Legophthalmos has really done that in this beautiful MOC, from the symmetry in the foliage to how it's photographed. The warmth from this build is what made it so memorable to me, so much that I instantly recalled it when choosing a MOC to write about in my first post for BrickNerd!

My wife and I were talking about Disneyland just this morning, and then I happen across this wonder maze overlay by builder Oky - Space Ranger. There's several recognizable rides and attractions here, from Sleeping Beauty's Castle to the Haunted Mansion, and it looks like a magical good time to play. I'm totally OK with the omission of Mickey's Toon Town, but this thing's gonna need a major overhaul when Star Wars land opens.
No, you don't have to fight, no you don't have to worry about Masterblaster, this is not that Thunderdome (but is certainly inspired by it). This was a EDM music festival in the Netherlands famous for driving beats, undulating dance moves and a seriously cool logo, here brought into stunning relief by builder RedRoofArt.
Being both a big fan of Vitreolum the Lego builder and The Wicker Man the original version ( I won't be "Cagey" about it but I didn't really rate the remake) I couldn't pass this build by and had to use it for my first blog here on Bricknerd. It's the sixth in a series of Horror vignettes one of which Tommy blogged a couple of months back and each one has been a masterpiece I'm 100% sure we shouldn't burn this one.
Stop the presses! Batten down the hatches! Don't look at the trap! Bayaba Bigfoot! I actually finished an episode. This one features the Ghostbusters Headquarters and BRIKBOOK. Enjoy!
With the imminent launch of 'Angry Birds the movie' what better than an Angry Birds MOC?! Builder Chubbybots pulls it together with a great back story that Tony Stark has been hired by the Birds to help them defeat those naughty Pigs, and has designed the awesome creation 'Birdronica Mark 1'. This build incorporates one of the minfigs from the LEGO Angry Birds sets as the driving force behind the bird bot. Those Pigs better run home!

Builder Lu Sim continues to perfect his mech building skills modular concept with this upgrade of the A/B type Mech Wars reFrame. The idea is to establish a sound armature substructure and add components and upgrades. It makes for a continually evolving design, and some seriously cool mechs. Check out his blog for more info.
This just in...Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame may have just exited his "dark ages". He was so taken by JK Brickworks' Sisyphus kinetic sculpture that he contacted Jason to get his own. He and Norm then built it on the online series Adam Savage's One Day Builds (an awesome series for you makers and tinkerers out there). Although I sort of understand their knolling organization, it's a bit too OCD even for me and it's a little amusing to watch it bite them in the butt during the build. The best part of this is watching Adam's genuine giddiness as it slowly takes shape.
I'm very proud to have played a small role in bringing this to life. This is the result of small group of talented artists called The Animators Collective working very hard for just a few short weeks. Two of the shots were completed here at BrickNerd Studios, and we contributed several elements for use in other shots. Check out the breakdown below to see just what went into the 28 frames of the bacta tank shot alone.
If I had to choose a single word to describe Disney's venerable anti hero and the original angry bird Donald Duck, it would be "flappable". Not only is it sort of a fun play on words, even if Donald doesn't technically have wings, but we all know what a ticking time bomb of fury he is. This version by Djokson pretty much nails that side of his character.
Builder lingonkart shows us how to rock out with our MOC out with this awesome guitar shredding little lady. The pose-ability and style of this MOC is super compelling, you just want to know more about her the moment you see her. I also want to hear what she's playing, I'm certain it's rockin'.
Gotta love this. Builder Legohaulic brings us the intrepid heroes of The Force Awakens in a fun, charismatic way. Poe, Rey, Finn and BB-8 are all instantly recognizable and just oozing with character. I bet this form factor would be fun to animate with, hmmm...
That's right LEGO Star Wars fans, we've seen a communication from a probe droid in the Hoth system and have it under good authority the rebels are there. Join me and James Morr as we build LEGO 75098 UCS Assault On Hoth live! So use your harpoons and tow cables and go for their...I mean come watch a couple dorks play with LEGO.
Building starts at 11am PST, join us!
Do you think it might have undermined his menace slightly if Darth Vader's lightsaber was as cute and almost chibi as this version by KOSbrick? It has an appealing chunky, stumpy and rounded feel that the real one lacks, and I'm totally ok with it. Check out the video for more views.
As I begin Star Wars day 2016, this was one of the first images I saw on Flickr. Builder cmaddison was going for a retro stylistic 70's graphic look but isn't sure he succeeded. I can tell you Chris, you totally did. It's got an excellent retro feel and I recognized it instantly. My first reaction was "ohh", then a smile, then John Williams music in my head.
To celebrate Star Wars day we have a couple things planned, including building the new UCS Assault on Hoth set live! Join me and James Morr as we nerd out Star Wars style.
Build starts at 11am PST, see you then!
You may have wondered what happened after the events on Pandora in the movie Avatar. Well, here's a possible scenario not only in story, but in a jaw-dropping diorama of significant scale. Builder The Steads imagines a future where after promising to have no military presence and to be very good (really Na'avi, don't trust humans, we're really no good) humans were allowed to return and do a little mining. For the full story and to drool on high res pics click through.
...These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls
But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredients to the concoction...
Chemical X
Thus, The Powerpuff Girls were born!
Using their ultra-super powers, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup
Have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil!
I am not ashamed to admit I have this track on my iPod. I'm also not ashamed to admit I really dig this MOC by madoruk.
