tiberium_blue is fast becoming a popular name on Flickr with his recent noteworthy creations. This interesting scene of Dr. Monochrome’s Monodome is his latest crowd pleaser (which he hopes will please the judges of the Brickscience Contest as well).
The new LEGO Pirates fan community at ForbiddenCove.com is certainly inspiring some wonderful pirate-themed LEGO creations lately!
One of my favorites so far is “Castaway t’ Neverland” by SlyOwl:
Brick-built creatures populating the desert island include a gull, hummingbird, crabs, and monkey. Note the horns for breakers and the microscale ship in the background, as if off [...]
Tom Snellan pulls out all the stops in this decidedly evil creation. Tons of awesomely detailed eye-candy in there! I’m impressed with the swirling orange panels behind the beast.
Thanks to Dano for pointing this one out.
BrickCon is just around the corner. In fact, if you don’t register before September 8th, the price goes up to $60 and you won’t be guaranteed personalized stuff like engraved brick badges.
My contribution to the LEGO Zombie Apocafest display we’re organizing is an auto repair shop and a fire station in a diorama that I’m [...]
Occasionally, a builder will seem to emerge — fully formed, as it were — onto the LEGO scene. Kevin Crimson Wolf Fedde has posted more gorgeous LEGO dioramas in the past two months than I can count, though we here at The Brothers Brick only became aware of Kevin when Nathan posted his Dragon Temple.
In [...]
In Kristian’s imagination, aliens are rather clumsy while landing their flying saucers and aren’t especially known for their hygiene:
The slime is rather amusing, and I can’t help but chuckle at the poor guy who didn’t manage to get out from under the saucer’s landing gear.
While we’re at it, here’s the sort of great zombie scene [...]
Richard A. McCarthy (RichardAM on Flickr) gets into the pirate spirit with this shipwreck scene:
Richard says he prefers standard blue baseplates to represent water, but I love the wave effect he’s achieved by building the water with sideways bricks (also known as the unfortunately named “SNOT water”).
Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj) gives us a slice of South Asian culture with a scene of Nepal. He’s been working at it for the past few weeks and there are a number of interesting techniques to see. Direct your attention to the bridge, the flowing river, and the building interior, precariously nested on top of [...]
True to his nickname, it seems like there’s always something going wrong in LEGO creations by crises. In his latest diorama, a team of intrepid spacemen have unleashed some nasty tentacles from beneath the ground:
Note several interesting techniques, including the tentacle penetrating the helmet of the unfortunate spaceman with the red air tank and the [...]
Erik “Eti” Smit has built a faithful recreation of various locations in the world of Pippi Longstocking, including Pippi’s house, Villa Villekulla.
The two-story house has a porch (with a horse on it), lemonade tree, swing set, and detailed interior with a kitchen and bedroom.
Other locations in Pippi’s world include her father’s ship in the harbor, [...]
Josh featured LEGO creations by Florian (demdike) twice while I was away, and I’m so glad to learn of this builder who I hadn’t encountered before!
Florian’s latest creation is a “picture from the Ganymede mission in 2026″:
More pics on Brickshelf.
Via Yonder Splendid Assuagement of Bloviation. (Phew!)
Look away if disturbing LEGO images aren’t your thing.
Still here? Well, there’s a lot to take in in Battledog’s zombie outbreak diorama.
Observe the spilled water, dripping blood, and brave janitor holding off the horde.
It’s always a pleasure when I can feature a cool new LEGO creation by one of our longtime readers. RichardAM (Flickr) has been a regular here for a very long time, and I just love his latest pirate diorama.
In “Imperial Outpost,” a small group of pirates attempts to wreak havoc on some unsuspecting guards:
I especially [...]
Zack “NewRight” presents a wonderful landscape accompanied by a short story, which you can read here.
Classic Castle member, Lord Scuba, recently posted a single picture of his lettuce patch.
Besides the plethora of green hairpieces, the simplicity of this creation really stood out. The posing of the farmer is just about perfect and I have never seen that rat used so well.
Mike Psiaki (who is no stranger to being blogged) has built a climatic scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park that is better than the movie it was based upon!
Also check out Mike’s three Pteranodon and Parasaurolophus:
EDIT: fixed errors, thanks Dr. Paleo!
One of my all time favorite builders, Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) conjures a scene where a greenhouse is transformed into a decontamination site for the Picking up the Pieces contest (ends today July 31st). For a closer look at the awesome vehicle, click this gallery. Don’t forget to check out the details in the main gallery [...]
Flickr user tiberium_blue presents his entry in the Picking up the Pieces contest (ends today July 31st) showing a group of apocalypse survivors building their new home under on the Lionsgate Bridge. I’m guessing the height of this creation to be over 1.5 feet, which makes it the tallest entry so far.
