The Brothers Brick

Dennis Coh, (aka Krush) unleashes a behemoth mech named Azoth, built in the bulky and armored style as his previous mechs. He claims to build lighter combat units next time; and so I wish you the best on your weight loss commitment, Dennis. Meanwhile, here’s Azoth:

I had the pleasure of seeing an unfinished version of Jon Walker’s Surak MkII at BrickCon 2007 last month. Despite being unfinished, its awesomeness earned it a rightful “Best Spaceship” award. Inspired by a Vulcan ship from Star Trek: Enterprise, the ship is 244 studs in length with a ring 62 studs wide.

I know, I know, I’m not the trainhead of our family but I felt the urge to post this. (Sorry, Tim!) Anthony Sava has really gotten into trains over the last couple of years and he just finished a beauty! Its a ten-wheeler built with some really interesting techniques. Check out [...]

Mike Crowley is one of the most talented builders in the universe and a really nice guy too! (Go to Chinese food with him sometime, its great.) He is also the only person I know who has gotten an official copyright on his screen-name (”Count Blockula”, all rights reserved by Mike Crowley).

Tim Z. (Spook) is a master of microscale spaceworks. His most recent is a space cannon that blows up planets called the Kotu’laro Planet Killer, and I love planet destroyers…

Great concept and great color distribution.

As we saw last week, Nathan Proudlove doesn’t just build great steampunk and space creations. Here’s his latest, a “Batrod.” Building at this scale provides ample opportunity for lots of interesting details, but I like the bat-shaped side windows in particular.

As a fan just coming out of his “dark age,” Brent shows that it’s not the size of your collection that matters, but the size of your imagination. He’s been working on some interesting flying vehicles, including Song of Polina (above) and Hornfels Wealth (below).

Well, folks, I’m on a roll! Here is my first entry for the CCCV:

Just your basic farm, owned by troll. His name is Clancy and he’s a pacifist. Most trolls enjoy mucking about, destroying things, bashing people on the head, that sort of thing. Clancy likes peace and tranquility. However, [...]

Decades after the riots and wars caused by the Cataclysm, a lone man makes his way back to the city. It used to be his. He worked, breathed, loved, and lived here.
But that was long time ago. Many lifetimes have passed since then. He pauses beside Checkpoint Alpha. Built [...]

Of course, he took the red one…

Megan Rothrock’s latest creation is a wonderful box that opens to reveal a miniature zoo!

Matt Wagner’s mosaics inspired by sprites from Legend of Zelda are best viewed small.

Okay, it’s been a while since we’ve had a funny animated GIF to sit here on the front page and amuse our readers. Here’s one of Sir Nadroj’s “Chuck Norris Facts”:

What will the World City theme from LEGO look like 150 years from now? Aaron Andrews has the answer with this insdustrial mech.

The newest stories in the Reverend Brendan Powell Smith’s The Brick Testament feature events from the reign of King David, including “God Kills Man for Touching Ark”:

And speaking of cars… A Volkswagen fan site has a press release from LEGO announcing that the classic Beetle will be released as a set in mid-2008:

Now, there’s some history to this set, as you can see by reading the press release. Here’s a rundown of previous coverage here on The Brothers Brick:

Back in October [...]
