One of the cool things about the LEGO hobby is that it brings together people from various backgrounds and professions.
Tommy Williamson (GeekyTom) works for CafeFX as an effects artist, and supervised the 3D-ification of Alice in Wonderland. Naturally, Tommy built some of the characters from the movie to commemorate its release:
Johnny Depp makes a [...]

Why yes, it is Miniland scale.
Paul Lee and his son entered their local LEGO Store’s monthly Minibuild contest back in September, and recently learned that their entry has just won the national contest, and will be featured as this coming September’s monthly model.
It’s a great little Miniland character that would look perfect on the tiny streets of LEGOLAND California, complete [...]
This miniland pianist tickles the ivories and my heart. That piano is gorgeous. Tiago Catarino composed a nice one here.
Marcos Bessa’s game is spot on with his mini-land scale pool table. Each and every detail is exquisite–from the table itself to the rack for the pool sticks.
Check out the rest of the gallery for more photos!

Alex Eylar has really outdone himself with his Cup and Ball Automaton. While the build itself is amazing, and has this wicked sense of macabre, the icing is the fact that it moves…
Since I wasn’t around when the mid-80’s cartoon Rainbow Brite debuted, I’ll assume the ignorant blogger in writing this post. For those who are old enough to have watched the show back in the day, these figures by Dave Sterling should evoke a pleasant trip down memory lane, one which you can relive over and [...]
I just heard that they’re recruiting for a model builder for the new LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Manchester, UK. It could be a pretty cool opportunity for someone among our UK readership.

Atomic Pop is my favorite toy/comic book store in Baltimore, and Atomic Punk is now my favorite hot rod. Nathan Proudlove (Proudlove) did a great job rendering this car in LEGO form.
Ok, so perhaps I’m a sucker for anything with a bubble dome, sue me.
Tommy Williamson (GeekyTom) recreates the complete set for Stephen Colbert’s The Colbert Report in Miniland scale, complete with trophies and bookshelves.

That’s all we’ve got left, at least according to Frank. Until then, enjoy this duo of miniland characters from Donnie Darko. They are brought to us by the incomparable Lino.
Oh, yeah…on that note…I’m back. ;)
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Classic Space, Holger Matthes has created an XXL or Miniland-scale version of 894 Mobile Ground Tracking Station:

See more photos of this great LEGO creation on Holger’s [...]
Sugar, spice, and everything nice, these were the ingredients chosen, to create the perfect little girls, but Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredients to the concoction–Chemical X. Matt Armstrong (Monsterbrick) has added another ingredient to his miniland scale rendition of the Powerpuff Girls, LEGO. I think he did an especially nice job [...]

Og ride good. Proudlove build good.
Peter (lego911) has busted out the faux-chrome and clear cheese to present the beautiful Facel-Vega HK500 of Countess Aurelie Dominque. Wonderfully sleek.
Alex “Profound Whatever“ Eylar invites us for a ride on his wonderful miniland-scale railcar. Seeing excellent miniland creations like this makes me want to break out from minifig-scale creations and try my hand at something bigger.
Just in time for the premiere of the new (theoretically final) season of Battlestar Galactica, Ochre Jelly treats us to a batch of miniland-scale characters from the show, including Six, a toaster, and Baltar:

Check out all of Ochre Jelly’s Battlestar Galactica creations on MOCpages while you watch BSG tonight.

Nathan built Mack to the same scale as fellow Flickrite Allister McLaren’s Lightning McQueen and Mater:
