M274 Mongoose ATV from Halo by Vidgamer838

The flood of LEGO Halo creations is so overwhelming that I can make that pun without ever having played the game. Still, this Mongoose ATV and custom UNSC Marine by Vidgamer838 seemed too good to pass up:

Here’s the marine (custom torso decal, painted Rock Raiders helmet, and modified Ninjas armor for shoulder pauldrons) without the […]

Some of Corran101’s animals are more equal than others

I first read George Orwell’s Animal Farm as a child, long before learning about the complex allegory of historical references (such as Snowball’s representation of Leon Trotsky). When I read it again in college, a whole new dimension opened on the page.
Harrison uses BrickForge animals to illustrate a crucial scene in the book:

High above the airships of the Deutsches Reich aboard Obenwolken

Linking to Jamie “Morgan19″ Spencer’s Brickshelf gallery in my last post, I realized that I’d never blogged his fighter/reconnaissance craft, the Obenwolken:

Obenwolken has a “state of the art onboard photographic recording system” to survey the steampunk battlefields of 1862, and is armed with a pair of repeating cannons. The always-excellent schematics reveal even more details […]

First look at future BrickArms prototypes [News]

Will Chapman of BrickArms was at BrickWorld 2008 the weekend before last, and Nannan scored a selection of custom items and prototypes for future BrickArms products. Since this isn’t a review (like my recent BrickForge review), I’ll mainly just show you pictures.
My favorite BrickArms prototype is the unique Lewis gun from World War I:

In addition […]

The End is near.

LUGPol member Kris Kelvin has built a rather cool, custom version of Archaon, Lord of the End Times. For you pathetic non-gamers, that’s a character from Warhammer Fantasy Battle (I had to go look it up myself).

King Solomon takes a bit of a wrong turn toward the end

The latest installment of The Right Hon. Rev. Brendan Powell Smith’s The Brick Testament wrap up the story of King Solomon.

The working lights on this creation are purchased from Lifelites.

Next is a creation called Bar of the […]

The rainbow hues of Neo-Classic Space

I always wanted a green Classic Space minifig. Peter Reid seems to have felt the same, so he’s made a number of custom minifigs in alternative colors:

Of course, Pete’s been busy building his usual, fantastic New-Classic Space vehicles as well:
