The Brothers Brick

Jamie “Morgan19″ Spencer is on quite a roll with his custom steampunk creations. Sure, Jamie uses paint to achieve some of the gold coloring, but it’s so darn shiny and cool that even purists have got to give these beauties a closer look.
His most recent creation is a firefighting robot titled “Dühnlist, Flameward [...]

Texture, action, creatures, thatch and falling minifigs. There’s really nothing to not like about Adrian Florea’s (Olog) latest diorama. I think I’ll let it speak for itself.

Patrick Bosman erects an impressive facade of the Cafe De Kroon Restaurant in Amsterdam. What’s most noticeable about this model is the diagonal construction of the structure, where the builder managed to seamlessly construct the building on a diagonal axis of the baseplate, a difficult feat when the LEGO studs run horizontally and vertically. Check [...]

The rather large Bionicle community and creations are not so well represented here on our blog, but once in a while a Bionicle figure catches my eye. This one is called Shinonome, created by Brickshelf user “fuh-min“. What’s especially outstanding regarding this creation is the strikingly awesome posability of the figure, which includes this b-boy [...]

Master pirate fan Richie Dulin has decided to take a break from building sailing vessels to remix set 4837 into a minifig sized narrow gauge locomotive: the Port Brique Historic Railway Loco No 4. The detail he’s crammed into such a tiny model is impressive.

Nick Dean (aka Kcaster) shows in a vignette how to deal with snipers, by taking them out with a bang! Sorry Camping Carl, you’ve been found.

Dear model making readers,
On Brothers Brick we love showcasing the best examples of LEGO model making we can find. As a pictorial blog, however, we have to ensure that our posts are visually appealing and draw the reader to each and every post. Sometimes this can mean that we cannot post a model due to [...]

Who never knew the dead can be tasty for some? Christophe Bongay seems to be working on a rather fascinating creation of a zombie stew. Check out some of his other whimsical scenes here.

Ever since we featured Alex Eylar’s band of minifig hitmen called The Irregulars, he’s come up with another band of deadly assassins called The Lonely People. The crazies become creepier and the deaths get messier. Read each killer’s profile on MOCpages.

Ralph Savelsberg (Flickr) may live somewhere in southern England, but that doesn’t mean he can’t join us on the highway to a KOA hookup somewhere south of Yosemite — at least in spirit.
Check out his Ford F-150 pickup and Winnebago RV:

Don’t miss the bike rack and lots of other great details in Ralph’s Wheels photoset.
As [...]

The average mecha we feature here are heavily armed, anthropomorphous robots. In other words, they tend to stand on two legs and go “pew! pew!” As much as I’m a fan of Gundam-inspired mecha, it’s nice to take a break and think about what mecha might really be like in the future — the blue-collar [...]

She walked in out of the fog with one thing on her mind. She had to know.
The private dick put his feet up on the desk and laughed. He’d seen her type before.
“You may need to know, sweet cheeks, but when I’m through, you ain’t gonna wanna know.”
Random pseudo-noir writing by yours truly, “LEGO Noir” [...]

Brickshelfer Bambi is a builder I’m not familiar with, but this wonderful ship recently featured on Klocki really caught my attention.
SK Minden is a search-and-rescue vessel of the German Maritime Rescue Service — thus the “SAR” in great brick-built letters on the hull:

Read more about her (the ship) on Wikipedia, assuming you read German…

Rocko’s latest work is not another castle diorama, but a minimalist horror scene inspired by Dune. The simplicity of this piece of work tells a lot about the stark horror of the subject. Nicely done Rocko, I dig it.

Peter Reid’s latest creation in his Classic Space lineup is the MkII Rover. What makes this model stand out are the innovative ribbed barrels, a new technique which is likely to proliferate through the community in the future.

Mumu’s entry for the Original Model Contest was Mont Saint Michel, a microscale castle in the air. Imagine the view from up there; it must be great.

Joe Meno of BrickJournal reviews a light kit from Lifelites which allows for the incorporation of lights to a LEGO creation. The lights themselves are compatible with LEGO bricks. Watch the cool light sequences in the video and learn more about this fascinating product.

Mark Stafford (aka Nabii), recently crafted four awesome sci-fi creations for our enjoyment.
First up is a slick fighter made in collaboration with Joe Meno of BrickJournal. Next up is another colorful spacecraft from the Crysilon aliens.

Following that is a variation of the LEGO set Hybrid Rescue Tank — a set Mark himself designed. [...]
