The Brothers Brick

Matija Grguric’s rendition of this Croatian landmark is simply gorgeous. I’m in love with the smoothness and sense of grace in this structure.

….to someone not from here. Da Eart, by Cole Blaq, is freaking me out. I keep looking in the mirror to see if this really what earthlings look like. I think I’m getting there.

One of my guilty pleasures is the show Antiques Roadshow, and other than Meiji era articulated metal animals, my favorite things to see are classic toys. This retro robot by Yul Burman Karel (Yo3l) is spot on.

It just perfectly captures the essence of tin robot toys.

Michael Jasper is brilliant when it comes to Mini-figure scale models–and his pillar technique is no exception.

It seems to be made up of light-saber blades and this gear. You can see more of his mini-figure scale creations here!
Thanks to Bruce for the find!

Dirk VH, a part-time LEGO sculptor, has built the world’s biggest LEGO Mario and is auctioning it off for charity on Ebay. The 40,000 bricks that make up this model weighs a whopping 110 pounds! How many mushrooms did you pick up Mario?

Like Dan, I picked up a bug at BrickCon, but unlike him I dont’ have the good sense to avoid blogging while sick.
While (or “whilst,” if I want to be contextually appropriate) BrickCon was the big event on this side of the Atlantic last weekend, builders in the UK geared up quite successfully for [...]

Angus Maclane has been building like crazy lately. The craziness has manifested itself as CubeDudes, which appear to be famous characters with cubes for heads. They are adorable! He just posted oodles of these awesome little dudes. Click on the pictures to go to a gallery of related figures.
Which [...]

If ever there was an incentive to go to Brickcon this would be it. NB. There are plenty of other reasons to go, but winning this would be the icing on anyone’s cake.

Ley Ward leaps in the Mundane challenge with both feet. All it takes is some paper and pencil.

This giant cyborg eyeball by Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) is just a little bit creepy.

It’s Halloween every day at Matt’s house, so I’m looking forward to him really gearing up for this coming holiday with more great creations like this one. In his case, I’ll forgive the starting holiday decoration and building two months in [...]

They should be happy now. Juho William has made them a wheelchair. And a lovely thing it is too.

Thanks to Joe for the tip off.

Reuters reported last night that someone has stolen the tail from the LEGO Giraffe outside the Berlin Discovery Center.

Mark Anderson has a unique project going on, namely a series of Alphabet Spacecraft. Honestly, I never heard of anything like this. I’ve seen series of vignettes made in alphabetical order, but actually building the shape of the letter as a ship? That’s a new one to me and pretty dang awesome, [...]

Although he actually completed it last year, Bryan recently announced the completion of a project that he had been working on for quite some time, namely his Classic Crusader Giant Fig and Horse. I thought this would be a good opportunity to pick his brain and share with our readers some of the “behind-the-scenes” [...]

I remember seeing work-in-progress pictures of this model, but I can’t believe it took Sean Kenney three years to make it. I mean, what a slacker, just kidding! What’s more incredible than making a 1:150 scaled model of the real stadium out of more than 45,000 LEGO bricks is the fact that the model was [...]

Billy McDill brings his ‘A’ game to town with this classic confrontation.

Don’t have time to grow and care for some flowers? Do what JDavis did. Build ‘em!

You can should check out their other sculptures too. There’s some really nice stuff in there.

Mrs. Monster has produced a tribute to everyone’s favorite cartoon alien, Marvin the Martian. This reminds me of . . . college, there was a guy in my dorm who wore nothing but Marvin the Martian t-shirts, he had at least a dozen.

Thanks to James Shields for the tip.
