They See Me Mowin'. . . The Grass Hatin'

JK Brickworks produces so many wonderful creations that incorporate clever use of power functions to create forms of movement in the models. Jason's latest model definitely can be better appreciated by watching the video on his YouTube channel, which I have linked to below. Take a look at just how well the mechanism works! Fantastic job once again, Jason.

Nathaniel Stoner

     My name is Nathaniel Stoner, and I am an very active LEGO builder.  I mostly build in the themes of castle and science-fiction, but I also dabble in other genres and create occasional random MOC's (My Own Creations). 

     When I was younger, I would get and build small LEGO sets for my birthday, but I was never really into them.  When they fell apart, I would become frustrated attempting to put them back together and would throw them in a box in my closet.  I couldn't stand them!

     Then, miraculously, I became addicted to the LEGO brick later in my teen years.  Ever since, I have continued to build up (pun intended) my collection of bricks and to expand my knowledge of techniques and building skills.  LEGO is truly more than a toy, its an art form and a way to express yourself.

     For the most part, I collect LEGO Star Wars (mainly the minifigs), which is probably my favorite LEGO theme.  I have a fairly decent collection, including some of the original 1999 sets, such as the Snowspeeder, X-Wing, and Naboo starfighter.  I also collected LEGO the Lord of the Rings when those sets first came out.  The minifigs are great, and the story remains one of my favorites ever. 

     My hope is to inspire other young (and perhaps even older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity!  You can find me on my Flikr here

Motion Capture

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!
