“Fried Chicken!” – A tribute to Freddie Mercury

gambort — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 11:01:17 +0000

Iain Heath (Ochre Jelly) brings us a lovely tribute to Queen on the 20th anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s death. The poise and action in this model are incredible.

LEGO dino is beauto

I know we blog a lot of aurore&aube‘s dinosaurs. But that’s because they’re so good and so well photographed. Enjoy carnotaurus.

Cole Blaq Pushes the Boundaries of Lego

Chris — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:17:20 +0000

Cole Bl♠q routinely challenges the conceptions of how we use the Lego medium. Continuing his on-going theme of spray cans is his latest sculpture, a viscerally organic interpretation. It is striking and beautiful, in a way not often seen in Lego. It’s not purist–that is, the effect is not achieved with 100% unmodified Lego pieces–but the result is no less spectacular.

Melissa Seraphy, LEGO and Cute

Brickshelf user tkh has some brilliant manga/hobby characters in his galleries. His latest, one Melissa Seraphy, is particularly amazing.

Le-Go Yo-Yo

gambort — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 05:18:37 +0000

Lino Martins (Lino M) claims this Yo-Yo is 100% LEGO and who are we to argue? I’m also wondering if this model doesn’t have the fewest pieces of any we’ve blogged here.

And to let you all in on a personal shame: if you give me a yo-yo I will be ‘that annoying yo-yo guy’ until it breaks. Not the one who can do tricks, the one who just makes it go up and down constantly. I get so mesmerised.

Hellow Lego Kitty

Chris — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:05:47 +0000

Jose Fernandez (aka Lego-man-at-arms) has fabricated a fantastic Lego version of that ubiquitously cute cat, Hello Kitty. The semblance is spot-on, and Jose has made great use of the limited palette of pink pieces.

Get Robo!

Dan — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:11:01 +0000

I don’t know what the Get Robo company does, but I know I like this sculpture if their mascot by Ewok in Disguise. The robot is cute, and incorporates some intersting building techniques in the torso. Frankly, I think it’s better looking than the source image he based it on.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night…

…could stop Bruce Lowell from building this awesome mailbox. I never thought I would say that a box had beautiful lines and curves but this one does.

With which to light your way.

I had to do a double-take with this one. The thumbnail looked like it was just a lovely presentation of a small-ish lantern. But it was lovely, so I looked, and realized I was actually looking at a LEGO creation.

Luke Watkins said this was a random creation that took very little time, but I definitely appreciate the build and the thought that went into the presentation.

Racked and ready to go

Caylin — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:00:04 +0000

Ah, such fond memories. Playin’ pool, with the crack of the balls, the silent concentration with the angles, and the furious cursing when the ball doesn’t go were you wanted or intended. The howling frustration when you lose and your buddy gloats about their win.

Anyway, I digress.

Bruce Lowell‘s posted fifteen fabulously colored and numbered balls, along with a lovely LEGO pool stick. The little chalk-square is a lovely touch. Can’t forget the chalk.

Lego victorian house decays into over 100,000 pieces

Nannan — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:40:26 +0000

Mike Doyle finished his third masterpiece titled Victorian on Mud Heap, depicting yet another decaying Victorian house in a gigantic 5.5′ x 6′ x 3′ creation made entirely out of Lego. There are several ways to enjoy this work such as viewing the detail pictures on MOCpages, reading the builder’s interpretation of his work on Flickr, or learning more about Mike through an earlier interview.

Mister Burrito’s Spicy Doritos

Andrew — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 02:16:47 +0000

Barney Main (SlyOwl) contributes to an IronBuilder challenge by incorporating more than a dozen yellow road signs (the “seed part”) into his latest model.

The cartoonish face is complemented by a TV screen frame, while a background cactus adds depth to the scene.

Necrophobic

Josh — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:21:34 +0000

I bet you thought that Cole Blaq built this, huh? He didn’t…which means the trend is spreading. That’s fine by me as long as the bricks turn out as cool as this one. Ken Robichaud is the actual builder of this creepy coffin brick.

QWERTY

Josh — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:01:49 +0000

Matt Armstrong crosses another great build off his list with this typewriter.

The guts of it

Josh — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 08:32:27 +0000

Cole Blaq continues his series on the brick with this piece showing us the inner working of our favorite iconic construction toy. I will never look at my pile of brick in the same way now.
