The Brothers Brick

Mike Psiaki joins the RAMM fun with a brachiosaurus in RAMM livery:

And a bonus Jurassic Park helicopter:

Reminiscent of the planes from Crimson Skies, Scotty’s Glenflight A-450 “Buzzard” looks almost microscale, but it actually fits a minifig:

What happens when Crown Knights wielding a Shiny Sword encounter a troll who demands a toll to cross a certain bridge? Fedde illustrates the fate of the poor troll:

Let’s be honest. Nick Dean has taken a certain amount of flak about how he’s managed the RAMM theme he created.
The key criticism is that Nick has only allowed certain people to build RAMM creations, with strict rules for those who do.
Nick is now opening RAMM to anybody who wants to build LEGO creations [...]

Jamie “Morgan19″ Spencer enters the Scoot-a-bration contest with four great scooter shops.
Catch Up and the South Hovel:

Roamin’ Holiday and the Silver Lining:

Check out more pictures of all four scooter shops in Jamie’s Brickshelf gallery.

Peter Morris has a constantly growing squadron of starfighters each of which is a superb piece of design. His delightfully compact latest tx100aFireball09 is my new favourite, not least because he’s designed it in the hard-to-use dark green. The ground crew is a lovely touch.

I don’t know either, but Brian H shows us how they do it. I really like the snowy aspect of this creation and the details in the walls really stand out as well.

Karwik (Noddy) presents a motorized crawler carrier with remote controlled steering and other cool features shown in the video. This creation marks another triumphant fusion of form and funtion into a LEGO creation, showing that something beautiful can also actively haul your load through the pits.

This “bionically enhanced alien cat” by Brickshelf user synderman doesn’t look like a friendly household pet, but it sure can be something to unleash on your enemies. With deadly jaws and sharp claws, this beast isn’t one to be messed with. I love how the builder captured the curvatures of the feline body in this [...]

Well birthdays are lovely and all but we do have a blog to run here and pretty LEGO models to show. I spotted this beauty on Brickshelf today and was highly impressed by Camine’s fine work. There have been a bunch of good motorcycles for minifigs posted before but this is the best Japanese style [...]

We recently highlighted HKLUG’s LEGO Sport City display, with huge models of the venues we’ll be seeing in the Beijing Olympics next month.

Thanks to LEGO Ambassador and HKLUG member Tsang Yiu Keung (better known as Chiukeung), we have lots more information on the models, including behind-the-scenes photos.
Chiukeung gives a sense of just how large [...]

For those curious to know what went on at the Toys R Us Midnight Sale last night, I took a ride to my local store to check out the frontline action. The Midnight Sale, hosted by participating Toys R Us stores, celebrates the release of new Star Wars Clone Wars toys, such as action figures, [...]

Today marks the third anniversary of The Brothers Brick!
I believe that 2007-2008 was the year that The Brothers Brick truly became more than just another LEGO blog. All of you out there make this a community, with LEGO Ambassadors representing the tens of thousands of you who visit the site.
The LEGO fan community has [...]

Hi all,
After heavily delayed judging thanks to the slackness of one of the judges (sorry!) the full list of winners of PotW have finally been announced. Going backwards by class we find… drumroll…

Class 3 winner: Crocodile Rock by Ean H

Class 2 winner: Arctic Cave Race by Chrispockster

Class 1 winner: RedTRCTR by Polywen

While the special judges [...]

Pause magazine has some great coverage of the opening of the LEGO Discovery Center in Chicago. From the pictures I’ve seen of the Berlin centre this one looks to be even better and we can all hope that more of these will be rolled out (Australia… please!!!).
Incidentally I suspect most of you wouldn’t realise that [...]

We ought to blog more interviews, and I’m glad Jacob from Young Spacers Association took the time to interview one of the more talented TFOLs (teen fan of LEGO), Nick Dean, who is associated with creating and building the RAMM theme (examples). While there exists multiple popular fan-created subthemes, RAMM has generated controversy among builders [...]

What a gorgeous and peaceful creation tacvud from Brickshelf has made! It is based off a restaurant in the Czech city Varnsdorf called Hradek. The photography setting of this creation in outdoors with real life scenery for the backdrop contrasts well with the yellow color of the building and creates a complete and relaxed scene [...]

Flickr user -Pendragon- built one cool classic post-apocalypse diorama for the Picking up the Pieces Contest. Depicted is a group of survivors fortifying a rummaged building. What makes this creation stand out is the equally sized rock mountain, since natural landmarks are rarely contrasted equally with buildings in the post-apoc theme.
