Yoder crashes in with style

Check out the amazing crash diorama by Mike Yoder called the Final Flight of the Dogstar III.

Note the nice contrast between the chaotic crash site and the order and cleanliness of the rest of the city. Well done Mike!

How to make a Pepper’s ghost, by Alex Eylar

In addition to being a band, “Pepper’s Ghost” is a stage technique in which actors appear as ghosts in the production. Alex Eylar has tried his hand at creating this illusion in LEGO:

Los Campesinos! Live! by Christoph!

Christoph! presents Los Campesinos! live and in concert.

Winter Meeting by Krush

Krush is rapidly becoming one of my favorite builders. His newest creation depicts lovers from rival clans, in a secret, snowy meeting.

Noddy strikes the cord of love

Karwik (aka Noddy) conjures the romantic atmosphere of a small intimate cafe called the Two Hearts Cafe, complete with bikes as expected.

This is the third time I blogged Noddy in what seems like such a short time frame, but his recent vignettes are so sentimental and nostalgic. It’s soft of me to say that, but one’s gotta take a break from all the space shooters and war-bots once in a while.

Best. Couch gag. Ever.

For the life of me, I still can’t get any video to embed, so I guess you’ll have to just click the link for now. D’oh!

EDIT (AB): Embedded. :)

Jerac’s gas miner

Jarek (aka Jerac) presents another impressive addition to his fleet of microscale spaceships. This one’s a second version of his original Behemoth gas miner, now called the Behemoth II. According to the builder, the ship “features hangar, detacheable containers and… detacheable details if held incorrectly :>”

The Rock keeps on rolling

Rock (aka Rocko or RebelRock) is on a roll with his recent fantabulous and diversely themed castle dioramas. His most recent build is vikings! At this rate of building, Rock is going becoming one of my favorite castle builders.

Happy Thanksgiving from Clancy!

May you eat like a troll and weigh in like a pixie!

GN-003 Gundam Kyrios by mumu

I missed somewhere along the way that there are transforming Gundam mobile suits. mumu rescues me from my own ignorance with his version of GN-003 Gundam Kyrios.

Here it is post-transform, in flight mode (and yes, mumu’s LEGO version itself also transforms):

Grave Digger model by Misterzumbi

The highly familiar Misterzumbi has brought out another great vehicle (car? truck? monster???), the famous Grave Digger. The model is 100% pure LEGO, even the stickers (although they may be pushing the definition). It’s worth noticing the high level of detail in the shock absorbers and the rod and hand structure for the base.

I think this model also has the best photography I’ve seen from Misterzumbi and possibly the best I’ve seen of LEGO ever.

Crown Manor by Aaron Andrews

Aaron Andrews, just posted an incredible castle called Crown Manor. This talented builder hasn’t disappointed yet!
