The Brothers Brick

With the addition of Josh to the team, we’re considering a name change, as noted in this post a week ago. I asked all of you out there to submit ideas for a different name, and the response has been fantastic: We have over 100 name ideas from 14 of our readers.
The name ideas have […]

Phew! Just when I thought I didn’t have anything to post today, Lukas saves the day with a trio of space marines:

Here they are in battle:

Just in time for Memorial Day here in the United States, Malle Hawking has completed his LEGO version of CVN-75, U.S.S. Harry S. Truman (previous post with details on the project):

Here’s Malle with his project:

Congratulations to Malle on the completion of this amazing ship. As Spacers say, this is quite a S.H.I.P. (Seriously Huge Investment […]

Legoloverman has built some sweet little yellow Bots:

Aside from being awesomely yellow, these bots show off some really cool building techniques. While making these bots extremely posable, the builder avoided using virtually any hinge type pieces! There is also a plethora of unusual pieces used as hands, guns, tools, etc. Look closely […]

Tac has posted an unusual Mech on Brickshelf:

Other than being a really awesome looking Mech, the thing that grabbed my attention is that you can actually put a figure inside! While the idea is not new, this is the best execution of the idea I have seen yet. Also the “posability” of […]

I’ve been subscribed to Japanese builder Ken Takeuchi’s blog for some time. (Ken goes by “Ken-Tucky” online.) However, it wasn’t until Soren Roberts mentioned Ken’s creations as a source of inspiration for his recent “Heavy Missile Cruiser” (Blocklog post) that I took the time to explore Ken’s Web site, LEGO Works.
Since 1998, Ken has been […]

Never one to let the likes of Mike Yoder or Mark Stafford have all the fun, Soren Roberts has posted an awesome micro-scale “Heavy Missile Cruiser”:

Just like Jerac’s medical frigate (previous post), Soren’s cruiser illustrates one of the traits that a lot of great Space creations have: A multi-layered look in which a clean, smooth […]

Japanese Brickshelfer s-3 has posted a uniqely blocky mecha tank:

The cannon elevates, and here’s how the crewman gets inside:

(For those who noticed s-3’s folder name or description, sensya or sensha — just different ways of writing the same word in Roman characters — means “tank” in Japanese.)

hitahita-05 has built a sweet little Daihatsu Midget:
The use of the motorcycle as a front wheel really grabbed my attention. Who would have thought that new piece would work so well? This little creation is full of excellent building techniques and looks really good too! Overall, a very elegant creation.
Take […]

Cyin (CAI on Classic-Castle Forums) quotes from Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to introduce his latest creation:
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive…” And suddenly there […]

Following up on her Wallace & Gromit creations (previous post), Japanese builder MisaQa has posted a nice little Snoopy, Woodstock, doghouse, and typewriter:

Classic-Spacer and Flickrite Mainman posted a bunch of micro ships today, but my favorite is definitely a recreation of everybody’s favorite Classic Space set, 497 Galaxy Explorer:

Those clear 1×1 slope pieces are certainly starting to come in handy for micro-scale builders!

Sir Bugge has posted an awesome space ship:
I was especially impressed by the dragon head, made out of a grey parrot, but the whole ship is impressive! Every where you look there are parts used outside of their intended use. Check out that rear cannon under the engines!
Check out the […]

As I explained back in September, I originally named this blog without giving much thought to the proper nomenclature for LEGO elements, or bricks. “Brickblog” might have been a better choice, and as the vision for this blog has evolved, turning into a bit of a LEGO Boing Boing, “Brick Brick” might have been an […]

From Izzo we’ve had a Ninja Mecha. I’ve made a Robot Ninja and Lukas W.P. built a Space Ninja.
Well, Linus Bohman has taken ninja mashup LEGO to a new, cranium-exploding level with … Steampunk Ninja!!! Woo hoo! Behold the awesomeness:

Here’s a closeup of the ninja, with his steam-power enhanced bow:

The ninja’s soon-to-be-dead target (dirty foreign […]

Sugegasa has been posting almost nothing but mecha lately, but he’s taken a break to post an Exo-Force minifig dubbed simply “Fig-10″ with some rather interesting shoulder armor:

He also uses that same hair to create a “flame-punch” effect with another minifig:
