The Brothers Brick

Can you tell from a glance where this is? Anthony Sava presents the desperate struggle of a small group of vikings finding themselves on the wrong sacred grounds. Maybe for this reason Stonehenge is blocked off to visitors. I especially like the lighting in this picture. The overhead lamp imitates the torch light superbly.

Matt De Lanoy (aka Pepa Quin) has been long around and known for his large lego models, especially those from Star Wars. His latest project ventures into the world of the sitcom Futurama.

Check out his Futurama creation on the new website Brickpics, also including an impressive lineup of custom minifigs, bearing high semblance to the [...]

Tim Zarki goes airborne with his latest two creations, a pair of steamilicious flyers.
Technically, the “Royal Defense Steam Hornet” is not in fact powered by steam (look closely):

“The Probably Most Definitely Dangerous Flying Machine” probably most definitely is:

Build a high-powered engine
Attach the engine to a long chain.
Attach a very small platform to the chain.
Stand on the platform.
Start the engine.
Hang on for dear life.

Behold Scott Whitesell’s “Redheaded Stepchild” driven by the intrepid Jesse “Flash” Tasker:

And a second racer, the Radial Ripper:

Are you one of those people who almost believes their minifigs are alive? Ever wonder what they get up to when you go to work, take the dogs for a walk, or go to sleep?
Tim Goddard has the answer:

Be sure to check out the full photoset on Flickr for some great desktop items recreated with [...]

Not enough walls in life? Shannon Young presents more walls spanning various themes both common and whimsical. Check out his three galleries here, here, and here.
My favorite is the one called 70’s Night, it’s simply stylish and colorful.

The sort of LEGO-themed food you generally see is that nasty licensed stuff you can get in stores. And most of the LEGO cakes and other homemade food look like melted bricks. But Flickrite hello_naomi uses what my wife says is probably fondant to create gorgeous cupcakes I want to eat right now.

Andrew Lee’s formidable killing machine based on a concept art leaves us screaming… for more that is. An accomplished space and mecha builder, Andrew’s latest work takes on an innovative mech design that’s not often seen among the myriad of bipeds out there.

Justin Stebbins reconstructs a depiction of one of those memorable moments from the video game Assassin’s Creed when Altair takes the leap of faith from a high vantage point. I estimate the tower to measure somewhere around or over two feet. I hope the hay pile is packed nice and fluffy.

Our favorite LEGO blog from Poland is now on its own domain at e-Klocki.com. We say “favorite LEGO blog from Poland,” but really, Klocki is one of our favorite LEGO blogs period.
Among lots of other cool new features, Klocki is now fully bilingual, from post titles and text to the RSS feed. Read all about [...]

Rocko borrows an ingenious idea from FBTB member 11numb to create a funny little vignette. The pouring water is also great, but the combination of these two interesting techniques blends into the background thanks to the hilarious subject matter.

Brickshelf user nash1126 has pictures of the box art of the upcoming space sets that we have previously discussed in the interview with the designers. At last, we see what the complete package will probably look like. It looks like each kit has quite an assortment of vehicles and play features.

After Rocko’s portrayal of the village invasion, the good guys retaliate and take the fight to desolate fortress front of the evil goblins. I think this is the first time I see a massive tar pit in a castle diorama- excellent use of dark tones in this creation.

In response to our recent post about ImpreSariO’s movie posters, reader Craig sends word of his own set of LEGO movie posters.
My favorite is The Simpsons Movie, proving once again that simplicity is often the best policy — that’s one round tile and 40% of a minifig torso assembly.
Here’s Reservoir Dogs and an Indiana Jones [...]

Klocki reports that the LEGO Store will soon be available in several new countries, starting with Poland.
Here’s the full text of the announcement from LEGO’s Jan Beyer:
Hi all, I have seen all the rumors and work with LEGO S@H and received finally the confirmation from LEGO Shop@Home that they will start new on the following [...]

Bigdaddy Nelson’s recent vignette depicts a gangster’s raid on a police station. Scarface McDougal leaves a clean sweep across the front steps with his Tommy Gun. The gory effects are well portrayed.

Moving microscale cable car! For some reason, teeny tiny towns entertain me greatly, and I’m in love with this one by Janey “Red Brick” Cook.

I honestly can’t tell one humanoid Bionicle creation from another (sorry), but the life-like foliage in this vignette of “Nuala, magess of Earth” by Brickshelfer MuffinToa is pretty darn cool. The integration of SYSTEM pieces with Bionicle is what sets this apart — particularly in the green canopy of the tree.
Thanks for the tip, reader [...]
