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.

This is what you look like…

….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.

Boxy tin robots of the world unite!

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.

I shall place you on a pillar.

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!

How much would you pay for a 6 ft tall Mario?

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?

Rubber ducky, you’re the one . . .

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 The Great Western LEGO Show (Oct 3-4) at the STEAM Museum in Swindon, England. They have a lot to brag about, both individually and collectively, but this sculpture of Bert and Ernie by James Shields (LostCarPark) is what caught my feverish and sentimental eye.

As Ralph Savelsberg said in the comments for the picture “Is anybody our age not a fan of these two?”

CubeDudes Invade!

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 is your favorite?

Ultimate Brickcon Advertorial

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.

The Prof goes mundane

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

Monster’s eyeball

Thanel — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 18:00:12 +0000

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 advance. Especially since he might have this thing attack me.
