Lino’s 1960 Chevy Apache will carry inland surfers to the dunes

It’s hard to believe that LUGNuts is already two years old, but the group of LEGO car builders celebrated its second anniversary in October. For the anniversary challenge, LUGNuts co-founder Lino Martins built a 1960 Chevrolet Apache.

The truck is great — with diamond patterns on the interior and a great gas can — but the [...]

Dragon Bones

This stunning dragon, by Necromancer7, is incredible. I want one….really bad.

This is what you look like…

….to someone not from here. Da Eart, by Cole Blaq, is freaking me out. I keep looking in the mirror to see if this really what earthlings look like. I think I’m getting there.

Nightmare, the flaming stallion

It’s not easy to build realistic creatures in LEGO on a small scale, but midnightcat have skillfully created a flaming stallion called Nightmare. I really like the use of the new flame pieces for the mane.

Of pink nosicles and very high B.E.F.

Naneto has conveniently titled this pair of adorable rodents Cute Overload.

These little guys are naneto’s entries in the 1st LusOlympics, a LEGO contest hosted by two Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) LEGO fan communities, Comunidade 0937 and LUG Brasil.

Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!

Erik Smit shows how its done with this whimsical redeux of Gold Tooth’s Getaway.

By the way, I really like the idea of this sort of challenge, specifically rebuilding a set in whatever fashion each builder prefers. I hope that more groups give this kind of thing a try.

Jacked up gorilla ride

I’ve been having nostalgic interest in old and short-lived themes, so it was nice to see this this Islander chief on his gorilla steed. I especially like how Ed captures the beefiness of the arms and the curve of the knuckles on the gorilla.

Sorry for the image quality, it’s to do with my linking, [...]

Welcome to the machine

Box guy meet Fedde (Karf Oolhu), Fedde meet box guy.

Look Pugsly, it’s a rhinoceros!

The minifig in this little dio by Evildead may want to keep running, but I have a dog sitting next to me here who’s willing to take on that two-horned beast.

No, seriously! He barks at them when they come on TV. Anyway, I think this is the first brick-built rhino that I’ve seen. It’s an [...]

There’s somethin’ movin’ and it ain’t us!

Lord Dane presents the best minifig-scale xenomorph from the Alien series that I recall seeing.

Exo-Force robot arms, minifig hands, and even flippers add a lot of organic detail to the alien.

Rubber ducky, you’re the one . . .

Like Dan, I picked up a bug at BrickCon, but unlike him I dont’ have the good sense to avoid blogging while sick.
While (or “whilst,” if I want to be contextually appropriate) BrickCon was the big event on this side of the Atlantic last weekend, builders in the UK geared up quite successfully for [...]

Blasting Frogs, Curly Flames and Wizards of the Forest

Hippotam takes on the evil amphibian menace with his forest wizard and out-of-control, whirly flames!

Once upon a time…

Juho William serves up this surreal creation. Everything seems to come together perfectly to create a creepy sense of wonder. I’m fascinated and can’t stop looking at it.

May-Ling is ready to play fetch

Daiman Mardon has an adorable terrier named May-Ling. Well, we assume she’s adorable, given how cute her LEGO alter ego is.

Monster’s eyeball

This giant cyborg eyeball by Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) is just a little bit creepy.

It’s Halloween every day at Matt’s house, so I’m looking forward to him really gearing up for this coming holiday with more great creations like this one. In his case, I’ll forgive the starting holiday decoration and building two months in [...]

What’s wrong with Wensleydale?

Nothing, it’s lovely, as is this Shaun the Sheep from “Wallace & Gromit” by Piotr (Pepik), via the Living Brick — welcome back, OJ.

Nearly as cute is Pepik’s Polish “tankette”.

The Bionic Ogre

Anthony Sava challenged Classic-Castle members to build their own version of Steve the Ogre.
Sebastiaan Arts (Aliencat) took a more…modern approach.

You can check out some of the other creations in this thread!

I can haz your cheese?

Cheesers wants your cheese. Even as cute as he is, Legoholic won’t feed him, so you have to.

(Just to avoid confusion now, Legoholic built this. Tyler, aka Legohaulic, did not.)
