The Brothers Brick

Doctor Sinister’s “Tabletown Army” is a formidable force, matched only by Magnus Lauglo’s armor or Ralph Savelsberg’s overwhelming air superiority.
Dr. S goes studless in his latest project — applying an unstudded sheen to the entire Tabletown Army:

Okay, that’s more adorable than formidable, but it was my favorite of the bunch. If you’re looking to defend [...]

Even Trolls care…

Jason Allemann unveils a working brick-built mousetrap that actually caught two mice. A mechanism shuts the gate of the cage when the mouse steps on the pressure plate, which pulls out the axle supporting the gate. Simple and brilliant.

What better way to continue our green-themed posts on Earth Day than with this great green mecha by bmck? I love the detailing on the end of the gun:

Nnenn’s latest microscale fleets are as expansive as ever:

…but the standout is definitely the Jway ECM cruiser:

(Speaking of MicroBricks…)

Bruce of VignetteBricks and MicroBricks mentioned in our recent Claim to Fame roundup that someone should start a blog about Miniland LEGO creations.
Given that Miniland is the scale Master Builders use for the amazing cities and monuments at LEGOLAND theme parks, it only seems natural that this building scale should have its own blog.
And [...]

At BrickCon in October, I learned about the Halo-inspired weapons and the M1 Garand rifle that Will Chapman of BrickArms was working on at the time (see First look at new BrickArms weapons).
Last week, I received my shipment of new 2008 BrickArms weapons, and I’ve been eagerly building and waiting for a break in [...]

Andrew Lee gets in on some RAMM action with this awesome hovertank:

Remember Tim Zarki’s previous robot? I argued that it stood several hundred feet tall and could walk over tall buildings.
Well, if this latest robot is that tall, we’re in serious trouble:

Brickshelf user graviton recreated a Dan Piraro comic of LEGO gangsters. “It ain’t workin’, Boss. He’s just floatin’.”

Brian Kescenovitz (mondayn00dle) is one of the few builders who usually doesn’t put much color into their models, sometimes conveying the iron/steel utility. Unlike his bulkier mechs, Brian’s latest work is a spindly scout walker called the Sandpiper, constructed with focus to fine detailing mechanisms rather than heavy armor.

The Dragonwolf Medium Assault Mecha, by Todd Amacher, borders on extreme niftyness.

I recently received a LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT set for my birthday (my wife is awesome!) so naturally I was excited to get the chance to review the newest Mindstorms book from No Starch Press. The author, Fay Rhodes co-authored the The Lego Mindstorms NXT Idea Book, is a member of MCP (Mindstorms Community [...]

Mike “Count Blockula” Crowley (Flickr) gives Rocky the old one-two vignette treatment:

The beef on the hooks is fantastic.

In the future envisioned by Shadow Viking, New British forces fight a street battle with the Coalition of Loyalist Britons:

From the thrashed bus stop to the enormous crater being used as a mortar emplacement, this diorama is chock full of cool details. Check out the New Britain/ Coalition of Loyalist Britons street battle photoset on [...]

The Arvo Brothers‘ latest project is inspired by Ghost In the Shell 2 and the disturbing works of Hans Bellmer. There are only two teaser pictures so far, but they’re worth it. I look forward to the gallery and must say that Arvo’s recent takes on fictional subjects have yielded really, really stunning results.
