The latest creation from Moko is dressed in samurai mecha armor and wields twin energy katanas. That’s enough to spell awesome, but there are some worthwhile details to note such as the use of tiered tiles and cheese slopes to imitate the jagged samurai armor. And as with pictures involving chrome radar dishes, you get [...]
As twee affect rightly notes, we’re going to be seeing a lot of LEGO creations inspired by District 9 over the coming weeks. Some truly crappy, others rather awesome, like this biosuit by Erik (Lemon_Boy).
This is actually based on the suits from “Alive in JoBerg” — the short film writer/director Neill Blomkamp expanded into the [...]
It’s always nice to see something other than the standard bipedal mecha, like this great four-legged stomper by Kyle Vrieze (bermudafreze). Beyond the non-standard leg configuration, Kyle’s mecha has very cool feet and shoulders.
Cameron (Primus) draws inspiration from Greek and Roman mythology for his latest Bionicle creation.
As well as all the other parts of Voltron. I always loved Voltron when I was a kid, and Mark Sandlin’s rendition using a TeknoMeka frame is a fantastic representation. This model looks great, even if the show hasn’t stood up to the test of time.
And yes, this Voltron does divide up into [...]
Sometimes, we’re all about a great creation here, regardless of photography, lighting or scenery. Sometimes, it’s the presentation that counts. Check out this backlit diorama that Kidthor just posted over on flickr.
The mecha itself has some great design details too (like the shoulders), so make sure to check it out solo.
This hardsuit by Ceramite is really big, but that head cracks me up! Who would have known that the saltshaker head would be so useful? ;)
Many thanks to Joe for the “heads” up!
As Thanel alluded to earlier, one of the new themes at BrickCon in two months is Battle Bugs. Harrison (Corran101) built this lovely WASP (Winged Arial Scout and Patrol) bot, complete with warning stripes.
With a gap between LEGO creations of almost two years, it’s great to see something new from Chris Malloy (porschecm2). His Iron Golem is both sinister and adorably, simultaneously mechanical and biological.
The Chinese hats from the Adventurers Orient Expedition theme add a nice riveted look over the robot’s joints.
This poor overloaded Mech, by Uspez Morbo, has such a hard life. I pity him.
I’ve noticed a flood of great mecha creations being posted lately, and I’d like to call attention to a few of them.
Kyle Vrieze (bermudafreze)has really out-done himself with his latest mecha, the AC01 above. He’s done some great things with armor, especially around the ankles, and I also quite enjoy the head. He [...]
Tyler has concocted this bizarre scene, in which one mech finds the grisly remains of a friend. Besides being well-constructed, this scene really conveys a certain pathos. I feel sorry for the poor guy!
Johnny Tang built the Scopedog mecha from VOTOMS in all its armored magnificence. The creation stands about 1.5 feet tall and features a furnished cockpit revealed in the video below.
Editor’s note: This creation incorporates large amounts of non-LEGO elements from a brand called BTR or “Built to Rule,” from Hasbro. Despite featuring “mixed media” creations [...]
It must be the Dawn Forge. Brian Kescenovitz brought this giant walker in a diorama to BrickWorld this year. In the scale of a minifig-populated scene, it clearly trumps everything in sight.
Read more about the creation on MOCpages.
Why is this 10187 Volkswagen Beetle by Alex Schranz yellow?
Well, I suppose the post title gives it away, but click the pic to see this lovely classic Beetle in “robotmode”.
…and then there are hard suits.
Lord Dane takes the chunkification of hardsuits to new heights with this LEGO Star Wars suit operated by a clone trooper. The legs are wholly unique, while fitting in nicely to the Imperial aesthetic.
Bionicle builder retinence branched out to LEGO SYSTEM mecha recently, with excellent results.
“Project Gimley” has a lot of personality. I mean, how challenging is it to make an immortal mecha look old?
There’s not much in the way of post titles that can top the unique name Kaye gave his latest, even stranger mecha.
The head is just plain weird (which isn’t a bad thing), and all the horns give this demonic mecha quite an organic feel.
