Last Paradise

Builder Rat Dude has definite ideas about life after the apocalypse, and I have to admit they’re pretty cool. This is The Last Paradise, comprised of modified and specific use cargo containers lumbering along on giant treads. There’s an equipment container, a cool container, a machine container, a storage container, a bum container (whatever that is), and three container devoted to living space. And hey, it’s equipped with solar, so it’s good for whatever is left of the environment.

War Rig

Generally we don't feature digital builds here on BrickNerd, but when they're as phenomenal as this one by Nicola Stocchi we'll make an exception. Behold the War Rig, driven by Furiosa in Fury Road and expertly recreated at minifig scale. This beast looks ready to conquer the wasteland, and thanks to exceptional lighting and rendering by Gabriele Zannotti, it's as beautiful as it is badass.

Agony, to a Point

Jan T. shares this incredible scene that takes place in a dystopian time. I feel like large, full scenes like this are not as common these days, and it appears that Jan agrees with that perspective. I'm really glad that he was able to create this awesome model that spares no detailing. Check out his other great builds on his Flickr! 

Apocalyptic Roadster

Dystopia is everywhere you look these days, online, in movies, on TV and unfortunately in real life. And while everything seems a bit grim these days, at least if things go really south we can all look forward to outfitting our vehicles Mad Max style. Yes, the world will be a free-for-all wasteland, but we'll be screaming around in cool cars like this one from Mark of Falworth, at least until someone shows up with a bigger one.

And... Boom!

As much as we all love seeing enormous, complex, meticulously detailed LEGO creations, it's hard to deny the appeal of a clean and simple build, like this brilliant little scene from Letranger Absurde. It's not mind-blowingly huge or complicated, but it's entirely awesome. In fact, its simplicity just serves to highlight the genius NPU in the mushroom cloud.

Oblivion

The movie didn't do well at the box office, but Oblivion is worth a watch in my opinion. If for no other reason than some pretty spectacular visuals. Yeah, the plot's a bit thin and the pace is a bit plodding, but overall I enjoyed it. It would seem builder Grantmasters was OK with it too, so much so he recreated one of the posters from the film in excellent microscale.

Full Metal Fetus

Well, this is disturbing on just about every level, but it's also oozing with style. Leave it to builder D-Town Cracka to paint a dystopian future where even the newborns are mechanized, and put to use collecting body parts. But it can be argued those body parts aren't going to collect themselves...that's a totally different dystopian future.

The Vicious

While I still haven't seen the movie yet (I know, bad nerd) I've seen enough pictures to know this rendition of Nux's car by Jin Kei is marvelously accurate. But even more impressive than it's accuracy is the sense of motion conveyed in the MOC. The simulated dust cloud being kicked up is brilliant.

What Once Was

As a kid of the eighties, we were all fairly convinced this was our inevitable future. Between The Day After, Road Warrior, Terminator and, well, the nightly news, we were sure the bombs were going to drop any day. Thankfully calmer heads prevailed (for now) and we're not forced to roam the wastelands in search of gasoline and fighting off mutants (at least those of us not in Fresno). But it's fun to imagine, and MOCs like this one from Gabe Umland paint a bleak picture.

Fallout: New Toronto

Having not played Fallout I'm a bit lost as far as what's going on here. But I don't have to have the game experience to see I missed something else big and brilliant at Brickfair and Brickfete. This is a collaborative build between Si-Mocs and NightHawk, and a powerful duo they make. I think my favorite detail is the Airstream trailer, but I'm a sucker for those.
