When angry townspeople attack

Brickshelf user Maniac000 (aka McZargåld on Flickr) created a diorama showing what happens when angry townspeople attack. The government forces arrived to find the stage set for an all out street battle, including trenches and barbed wires. Viva La Revolución!

I am LEGO

Yul Burman Karel (Flickr) gives I am Legend the LEGO twist with his I am LEGO poster. I love the tagline, “The last minifigure on Earth is not alone.”

The world has moved on. The mountain remains.

Justin Vaughn continues the story he began with “Autumn Solitude” in his latest post-apocalyptic diorama, “Tedious Descent”:

Here’s a bit of the story to whet your appetite:
16 October, 2017 – Day 154
Well, day one of my trek back to town is coming to an end. It snowed a tad this morning, but not enough to really [...]

Post-apoc robot stands out like a real sculpture

Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) has made an extremely realistic looking post-apoc combat robot, which from a glance looks nothing like a brick-built LEGO model. But don’t feel bad if you got fooled like I did, it’s the Legohaulic we’re talking about.

Rolling through the blasted landscape with Horace Cheng

With everybody distracted by shiny Cave Racers, it seems the end of the world has been staved off for a while, or so it would seem from the dearth of decent ApocaLEGO lately.
Fortunately for us, Horace Cheng has taken his recent snowmobile design and added a bunch of stuff to make it zombie-proof:

Bonus Iron Man [...]

Bandwagon mayhem

Adrian Florea (Olog) mashed together some of the curretly hot bandwagon themes into an action-packed diorama. Without scrolling down to the answers, what themes do you recognize?

Answers: cave racers, black fantasy, frogspace, post apoc, and fabuland

Battle in the streets of future Britain!

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 [...]

Human Transporter of the post-apocalyptic landscape

Treaded wheels, check. Cannon, check. Gun-toting human, check. Auto-balance gyroscope, check. From the twisted mind of Rocko emerges a Segway capable of tearing up the wasteland of the future.
While we’re at it, remember the nice lady in this scene? Here’s the bike she was originally going to be riding:

Oh yeah.

What happens to geeks like you after the LEGO apocalypse?

If you’ve ever wondered how you’d fare (yes you, reader, you’re staring at a computer screen right now, aren’t you?) after the LEGO apocalypse, Flickr user Terry’s Clockwork Orange has the answer.

The man with the keyboard chest plate is “Barry Norman, former I.T. technician and now the Mystical Keeper of the Data.” Ha! Click the [...]

Black Fantasy wrap up

The Black Fantasy contest has just ended, and there are has been a myriad of entries, including a score of stunningly horrific creatures. The following highlights some of the amazing entries submitted towards the end of the contest.

The Final Horror, by Dene Quest.

Kermit the Destroyer, by Megan Rothrock.

Howl of Lamentations Unending, by Justin Vaughn.

Cyclopean Spawn [...]

Rocko rocks the apocalypse

Known for his recent impressive castle dioramas and his unrestrained use of female minifigs, Rocko presents a post-apoc diorama with action and detail. Don’t miss out on this limited time offer of what Rocko would like to call “post-apoc diorrhea.”

Mainman’s visions of post-apocalypse

Justin Vaughn (aka Mainman) has his unique visions of post-apoc. These works arouse feelings of solitude and man’s battle within and against nature. The snow and desert settings further limit the presence of life and suggests bleak worlds. Check out his most recent works:

Empty Swingset. Only the wind pushes the swings anymore.

Autumn Solitude on the [...]

And before the LEGO apocalypse…

So, what exactly caused this apocalypse in the LEGO world that has everyone building heavily armed dune buggies and bombed-out smuggler hideouts?
Carter Baldwin tries to answer that question in his latest creation:

There are some amazing details in Carter’s scene, including very cool cracks in the building:

Visions of after the Apocalypse

For the post-apoc contest on Flickr, I’m pleased to present my two entries. The first, built for the Survivors category, is a satellite outpost amidst a backdrop of a flower field.

One of my favorite features of this scene is the treaded bike called the Muskrat. It was the product of two hours of building.
The second [...]

Oregon Trail: Apocalypse Edition

Carter Baldwin contructs a superbad truck belonging to a band of survivors in a zombie post-apoc world. There’s plenty of guns to fend off unwanted company and the tracks will plow right over their already dead bodies. Way to rock through the apocalypse Carter!

Black Fantasy invades Russia

Jordan Schwartz (aka Sir Nadroj) shows that the Black Fantasy biomechanical creature invasion knows no bounds. Check out his interpretation of a monstrer demolishing a colorful Russian cathedral to rubbles. What an interesting concept!

Ephram’s Garden

There’s more than just earthworms in Brian Kescenovitz’s groundbreaking diorama called Ephram’s Garden. The invasion of biomechanical horrors has made it even to the hills beyond the cities. Brian excellently combines the theme of Black Fantasy and post-apoc in this inspiring build.

Lesson #1: Don’t ever let Emma Thompson cure cancer

The latest from The Brick Time (mrbrickbob on Brickshelf) are the protagonists of one of my favorite recent movies, I am Legend, starring Will Smith as Lt. Col. Robert Neville, here with his constant companion Sam.
