Aquestrian Metal

This piece of work by David Collins (intrond) fits in a unique genre that I can’t decide. It looks like a mix between a spaceship and a mechanical creature. The color blocking and the multifaceted chunks are pleasing to look at. A few stickers add the vital details.

Goons, hired goons

Rong Yiren is no stranger to great character design but these goons manage to have personality with absolutely no motion and minimal detail. They are reminiscent of 8bit characters of old.

Fu-Bugchu

Some aliens might be good mainly for getting splatter kills, but others look like you might want to play a nice game of contract bridge with them instead. I like to think this mustachioed alien by Nathan Proudlove has the sophistication to represent the latter. Or he might just know Kung Fu and be more Continue reading →

It gives me the jibblies

This one by Moko is giving me the creeps and that is all I have to say about that.

Seeking whom it may devour

This is ‘Skull’s Deamon’ and it has a rather freaky look to it, if you ask me, which you didn’t. David has achieved that unique look by building this monstrosity out of virtually nothing but Star Wars battle droid pieces. I think I’m going to have nightmares tonight.

LEGO Lava Dragon lights my fire

This is one that I’ve been meaning to post on here for a bit now. Finally got a fire lit under me, so here it is. Sean and Steph Mayo are quickly coming to forefront in the adult lego community and this one is just another feather in their collective cap. I could make a Continue reading →

LEGO dragon breathes real fire

After building a creation that uses real water, Aaron Amatnieks (akama1_lego) sets out to do what no one has ever done – to use fire in a Lego creation, and I’m not talking about flame pieces. Kids, don’t try this at home!

They’re eating the guests, sir.

George Panteleon’s piranhas may not actually be eating the guests but they look like they are capable of it. There is a lot to love in this viciously fishy build. This is one of those creations that makes me want to build it myself. I think I need some hanging about my desk to keep Continue reading →

Enter the Scorpion!

Sean and Steph Mayo have issued giant scorpions to their minifigs. After all, why not? Everyone rides horses. If you want to make an entrance, nothing says “Look at me!” like a giant scorpion.

Brick-built Ostrich

This little ostrich, by Brick Monster, is adorable. I’m still amazed when a builder is able to make something so recognizable out of so few pieces. Well-played, sir!

Meet Pokey the Technic Triceratops

Remi can build dinosaurs, no question about it. I saw Pokey at BrickCon last year but these new pictures were just posted online. Pokey is even more awesome in person. Very awesome. You can see the entire set here, including BrickCon pictures. (My apologies to Alyse if she built Pokey. The tags said “Remi” so Continue reading →

Slow and Steady

This whimsical build by Pino came out a couple of weeks ago, but I missed it. I have to say it is one of the most fun creations that I’ve seen recently. The snail is perfect. I love the house built around the outside of the shell and the bait, keeping the snail on the Continue reading →

The road to Olan Mills is paved with good intentions.

Some people say that they don’t really like pets. I say they just haven’t found the right animal yet. But once you do find that special beastie, drag it in to the professional photography studio to capture the moment! rong YIREN inflicts a particularly nasty kind of purgatory on this girl and her cuddly pet.

Ent Misbehavin’

Hideous puns aside these Ents by Shannon Sproule (Shannon Ocean) are brilliant. Apparently you’d know this if you were at Brickworld 2011.

Shiver me Timbers!

And now for something completely different. I seldom build anything Pirate and I’ve never tried anything quite like this before. The goofy look on his face appeals to me, so I may have to leave it together for awhile…at least until Talk Like a Pirate Day. By the way, this was built for Forbidden Cove’s Continue reading →
