The Brothers Brick

Zach Clapsadle combines dark red and “pearl gold” with his signature crazy level of detail and a pentagon technique by ixlramp to create a weirdly wonderful ship called Geminated Ruby:

Here’s the crew:

Love the combo of the braids and the Ten Numb head.

Some of you may have been wondering when LEGO would be accepting applications for the next cycle of the LEGO Ambassador program. Well, things are going to work a little differently for this cycle. Read on…
Hello LEGO Enthusiasts,
You may have noticed already that the selection process for the LEGO Ambassador Program will be […]

Keith Goldman has popularized the term “boilerplate” to critique the derivative nature of certain categories of LEGO creations, even applying the term to his own work (by outside standards, hardly unoriginal). I’m certainly guilty of the occasional bandwagon-jumping, but there’s a certain sense of satisfaction in pulling together all of the elements you like about […]

I seem to be at it again with the early posting but… this “work-in-progress” town by Brickshelf user `Basic’ (who I assume is from Lundfrom Nottingham, England) is simply amazing and needs posting now. I’ve got far too little time to go describing all the details I like but the illusory tram track stand out […]

If you keep an eye on my Flickr ’stream you might have noticed a couple of work-in-progress shots appearing lately. It’s rare that I’ll do more than one but sometimes I like getting advice along the way. Anyway my model of a Rooivalk (”Red Kestrel”) is now done and I’m pretty happy with how it […]

Rising star Harrison captures the stark contrast between the sterility of suburbia and the complexity of the title character in Tim Burton’s 1990 film Edward Scissorhands:

Using minifig legs in a creation — in this case as part of a topiary — is quickly becoming a signature of Harrison’s. And the new Speed Racer torso works […]

If you haven’t seen the recent Cave Racer fad taking over LEGO areas of Flickr, you must be living under a rock.  If you haven’t played (or at least recognize) the epic game Portal, you’ve definitely been living under a rock.
Well, while trying to survive school, I decided to try my hand at a Cave […]

Mecha master Izzo’s recent works take on darker toned colors, which are generally more uncommon than ordinary colors. The darker colors tend to give a more mature appearance to the model, and here they look absolutely splendid.

The Silent Hill games are possibly the scariest horror video games out there, and that’s why I like them so much. Here’s a scene from Silent Hill 4, featuring a ghost and the protagonist, Henry Townsend.

At last I have had time to build again! I present to you Miss Modular and her ship Shrimp Salad:

From civilian interrogation:
-”So we where all waiting, yeah, for Miss Modular to arrive. You know, Miss Modular, the beauty queen? Five times winner of ‘Beautiful and Ugly’ on tee-vee? Anyway, so we see her ship come […]

Fedde makes good use of clear elements to illustrate the Skeleton Queen’s displeasure in a vassal:

Check out more pics in Fedde’s Vignette photoset on Flickr.

Yes, that’s right, Norbi Demeter (one pic borderline NSFW) gets a roundup post the first time he’s featured here.
Norbi is a LEGO builder from Romania who just recently started posting his creations to Flickr. It’s not often someone demonstrates such strong skills from the very first photo posted online, but Norbi clearly has […]

Okay, I know trains are Tim’s domain, but I just like the fact that Peter “swoofty” Norman” (Brickshelf) went out and took pictures of his LEGO locomotives in front of the real things.
NRE 3GS-21B in Union Pacific livery:

EMD F59PH in Metrolink livery:

Like his Rally Fiat we highlighted earlier this month, Steven Marshall’s Olio Fiat 131 features custom stickers and amazing details:

See how it contrasts with the earlier Fiat:

Flickr member Lamanda2 used the ice brick tray to make chocolate bricks, but it looks like the minifigs got to them first!

Alex Kahler minimized the Hellfire Dreadnought from Warhammer 40k into a micro vignette at the same time keeping all the defining details, making the model instantly recognizable to fans of the game.

This is my first surrealist piece of the year and it marks the contortion of my mind for the past year and going. The sculpture itself is extremely fragile, but sturdy enough to survive a 5.2 earthquake. The bulk of the work is composed of four interweaving strands built from corner plates and supported at […]

Brent Wolke (aka thwaak) is known for his Magic Punk creations that combine fantasy with the magical. The Theolith is a heavily armed flagship that looks to be constructed on a floating rock (which is fully capable of motion in Brent’s world). See more details and descriptions in his flickr photostream.
