The Brothers Brick

Hippotam has built this snazzy rendition of the famous Polish observatory.

Also, it’s built with only 100 pieces….

Cheyne Potter (AfroEngineer) posted this cute little plane based on concept art in the Classic-Space.com concept art gallery.

The minifig has hair from one of the upcoming Town sets, so it looks like those sets should be more widely available soon!
While we’re at it, check out Cheyne’s ingenious use of blue chairs as water in this [...]

Yonlev has built a gorgeous train depot, based on Tel Aviv’s Hashalom Train Station. Those curves are something else!

This 3d mosiac by Douglas Hill is quite unusual. I keep staring at it and I like it more and more all the time. The whole is made of headlight bricks with jewels stuck in them, and then lit from the back. Wish I’d thought of it…

Absolutely nothing.  But I am a huge fan of these two completely unrelated minfigs.

One of the most frequently asked questions we get here at The Brothers Brick is how to get your LEGO creation featured on the blog. We’ve answered this tangentially with Linus’s LEGO is communication series and Tim’s blogging standards, but I thought it was time we helped all of you out there understand a bit [...]

Mǝmory ’s Baku Truck is a wonderfully designed cargo/deliver vehicle.  I especially like the splashes of dark green and the design of the cab.
 

Jarek’s (Jerrec) newest addition to his Swiss fleet is one odd but appealing starfighter called the Cobrahn. The split curvature of the ship is a technique rarely used on space creations. I remember seeing it used on Chris Malloy’s Flying Saucer but not so elsewhere. Furthermore, the shape of the fighter reminds me of Nnenn’s [...]

The Brick Time recently revised an earlier version of the Admiral Benbow Inn. Most notable among the changes is the new roof, which is built from cheese slopes using a clever but simple technique. There’s about 2500 of these roof tiles in the overall 9000 piece diorama, making it quite an impressive build.

Adorably awesome. What more is there to say about these mini-minifigs by libertyandvigilance?

Chris Wunz (wunztwice) crosses the Castle/Space barrier to give us the Nightfox pursuit fighter.

For his “first real attempt” at a LEGO space creation, Chris’ fighter is full of cool details and interesting techniques, from the angled cockpit to the landing gear.

I love the look of orange with…just about any color, and so of course this wonderfully-made truck by Jas Nagra (J5N) caught my eye at once while browsing Flickr.  It’s very well-made, I very much like the design of the rear-view mirrors.

Firas Abu-Jaber has posted his best LEGO car yet — an Audio R8 TDI Le Mans:

The sheer level of detail Firas packed into his car is unbelievable, from the grill and headlights on the front to the spoiler on the back.
Check out tons more pictures of Firas’ LEGO R8 on MOCpages, and read more about [...]

Yvonne Doyle ({YVD}) posted her lovely Barrister’s Office before I joined The Brothers Brick as a blogger. I was reminded of it again today, though, and when I saw that it hadn’t been covered here, I had to post about it.

I love the paneled wall that she’s built out of crates, and the [...]

This is news to me, but flickr’s SlyOwl has done a fantastic job of showing us the medieval thrill rides built by the bearded miners. The twisting track is awesome, and he’s added a fantastic sense of motion with the minifigs on board. Of course, he’s not content to merely show us the [...]

Steven Marshall has put his orange bricks and the new Power Miners rollcage piece together to create this beautiful minifig-scale forklift, complete with actual rear steering!

This oven with rotisserie chicken by Martin Jaspers (Marakoeschtra) is pretty cool, right?

But wait! Check out the video:

The oven has a 9-volt micromotor to rotate the chicken, along with oven lighting. Thanks for the tip, Ronald!

It’s not uncommon for us to use trite phrases in the title of our posts, but this time we mean it literally. Check out this microsized vignette by edulyoung from the ballroom scene of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The vignette also functions as a real-working music box, in which components from an actual music [...]
