Tommy started BrickNerd as a place to share the creativity of fellow LEGO builders, to tell the stories behind the bricks, and to share news from the hobby and community.
Read MoreI’m naturally an optimist. Despite the seemingly downward spiral humanity seems to be in recently I like to think we’ll make it to another enlightened age, one of exploration and beyond the bounds of this planet. Something like the future envisioned by builder ranghaal with this excellent metropolis in space. Imagine day to day living in this cylinder in the stars, looking up to see more “ground” above you, it would be dazzling.
This is one of those MOCs that you can try to describe, but just have to see to understand. It's also one that would be difficult to display at a show, but a real crowd pleaser if you did. It's One More Brick's gimbal mounted ultra luxury resort in space, Cloud 9. The sort of place we 99% can only dream of visiting some day (in the distant future of course).
In a distant, bleak future, hard suits and mechs will do battle on war torn urban battlefields. But the guy that wears a suit and then wears another suit will pretty much own the place. I like to imagine the pilot dressed in a smart three piece by Armani. You know, a suit within a suit within a suit.
Here's a micro scale glimpse into the future by builder Irwan Prabowo. Of course the first thing that grabs your eye is the marvelous twisted building and hovering helicopter, but my favorite detail is the suspended monorail.
Say what you will about 2002's Tom Cruise film Minority Report, there was some way cool design in that movie. From the gesture-based displays to the jet packs, there was cool tech everywhere you looked. But very little of it was as cool as the Lexus concept car, and now we can admire it in brick form thanks to Mad Physicist.
LUGNuts gearhead LinoM is back with another jaw-dropper. Behold the Ralston Rhino. The fictional Ralston family approached the fine builders of LUGNuts to create the next thing in highway hauling and Lino has delivered. I can just imagine the driver climbing through the suicide doors into the crazy forward leaning cab, initializing the anti-grav capabilities and firing up the turbine...then hauling 22.6 tons of Vienna sausages or something to Toledo.
I couldn't decide if this was more awesome, or more deadly looking. Then I realized that those terms didn't have to be mutually exclusive. Then I thought maybe I'd combine the terms, but realized that both "deadsome" and "awesly" both sound stupid. So I decided to make up a new word for it, and after much thought I hereby declare this amazing MOC by Lego Junkie "threatacular". You're welcome.
