Sometimes you’re the monster; sometimes you’re the city.

Ever wonder what would happen if the cityscape turned on the monster sent to destroy it? Monster movies wouldn’t quite ever be the same. Fortunately, we’ll probably not ever have to go through that kind of movie, and Chris McVeigh (powerpig) gives us a glimpse of what could have–might have–been.

LEGO Catwoman Line Art

This is simply incredible. I passed it over several times because I thought it was a drawing. People are always saying that some build or other doesn’t look like LEGO. Well, this one really doesn’t. This build is nothing short of outstanding. Mark Anderson built it. Obviously, he is awesome.

LEGO Tank from Ghost in the Shell

Those who’ve been around the LEGO community for a while may know I’ve been planning a LEGO version of the Ghost in the Shell tank (from the movie) for quite some time. In fact I posted my first CAD version 5 years ago after starting it nine months before that. I won’t say it’s finished Continue reading →

Shawn’s LEGO Predator hunts you invisibly

Shawn Snyder has been building a variety of Predator head sculptures for a couple of years, but when he brought an early version of his latest to a SEALUG meeting a few months back, I knew it was going to become my favorite. The completed sculpture was worth the wait, and even better than I Continue reading →

Release the Lego Kraken!

Lego.Skrytsson‘s depiction of the Kraken does it great justice. The teeth is just wow.

Light-up Lego Tron lightcycle

Jared Burks (Kaminoan) used EL wires to light up a Tron lightcycle designed by Ewok in Disguise. The minifigure uses custom decals designed by the master customizer himself.

Spider-Man vs. Sandman

Mr. Xenomurphy‘s scene of the battle between Spider-Man and Sandman justly portrays this somewhat obscure villain. The building, despite being the backdrop, is also another highlight of the scene. The usage of 1X2 bricks and tiles mimics the realistic look of the buildings.

Mr. Kim’s flying restaurant from the Fifth Element

Niek Geurts of MrBrick.nl recently posted a lovely LEGO version of Korben Dallas’s favorite restaurant from The Fifth Element. While I love the boat’s hull and all the details Nieks has included, his technique for adding the background is just as interesting: I wouldn’t have expected that taking a picture in front of a computer Continue reading →

M41A1 Pulse Rifle is perfect for a bughunt – in short, controlled bursts

I can’t believe Aliens is 25 years old. I’m not sure Giovanni Tuzzi built this life-size M41A1 Pulse Rifle to celebrate the movie’s anniversary, but it’s certainly awesome. Giovanni’s rifle includes several working functions, including triggers, cocking handle, pumping grip, and removable magazine.

Lights, Camera, Action!

Tommy Williamson built these incredible trophies for the winners of his PchLUG101 contest and they are awesome builds in their own right. The light and the camera are especially worthy.

60´s Batcave

Alex Schranz (“Orion Pax”) follows up his Batcave with a more nostalgic version. But alas, if you remember the 60′s, then you probably didn’t live through them.

LEGO Serenity from Firefly series

tbone_tbl just finished this rendition of the iconic ship “Serenity” from Firefly and it’s gorgeous! I love that show. Joss Whedon is my master.

Lego Battlestar Defender measures over 6 feet long

Garry King finished his largest creation: a massive brick-built version of the Battlestar Defender from Battlestar Galactica. He estimates that between 30-40 thousand pieces were used in the model. You can see work-in-progress pictures on Brickshelf.

They can’t fly, you know

Iain Heath posted these last week and I forgot to post them. I apologize, so you can stop calling me in the middle of the night now, Iain. Really, I mean it.

LEGO CT-37 from Disney’s TaleSpin

Curtydc has built a nifty version of Don Karnage’s TriWing Terror from TaleSpin. It is fun-looking plane and has a rather SkyFi feel to it. I also hear that it is quite swooshable.
