Syrena 104 in LEGO

Jarek (Jerrec) used to be a very regular feature here but it’s a while since I remember noticing anything new from him. But it’s been well worth the wait for this amazingly detailed Syrena 104. I love the real cars and cannot believe how perfect Jarek’s version is.

Tunable, playable LEGO ukulele

On the whole I’m used to seeing one thing pop up in Ross Crawford’s (RoscoHead) photostream: cranes. So spotting a LEGO ukulele there this morning was somewhat of a surprise. Discovering it worked was less of a surprise after the initial shock. To quote Ross: Realising I’ve never owned a uke, I decided I’d try Continue reading →

[Enter gratuitous sheep joke here]

I looked at it, so now you have to. Guy Himber has done it again and I don’t know whether to laugh, cry or run away. I do know one thing. It’s disturbing on a deeper level because someone just saw this over my shoulder and swore at my screen. So it must be good, Continue reading →

My new favourite set

I love self-reference and this LEGO model of a LEGO moulding machine is as self-referential as they come. Sadly if you don’t already own one of these (I don’t) then I doubt you ever will. It would appear only 68 were made for the LEGO Inside Tour.

Edulyoung’s Pegasus automaton soars on alabaster wings

This pegasus sculpture by Edulyoung is beautiful enough to highlight here, but the Technic pedestal reveals there’s more to this flying LEGO horse than pretty white bricks. This video of the pegasus in motion quite literally took my breath away. Via Legobloggen.

Royal wedding

Even though we Americans threw off the shackles of monarchy more than 200 years ago, we still find something fascinating in the pomp of a royal event, like the wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton today tomorrow in London. Justin Ramsden made a name for himself with his Amy Winehouse sculpture last year, and Continue reading →

I have to wonder how ACME feels about their products continuously failing against a bird.

Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner were my favorite Looney Tunes as a kid, and I was totally excited when I saw this superb rendition this morning. You have to admire the tenacity of a coyote that fails every time, in every scheme, to try and catch this roadrunner. My experience with real roadrunners is Continue reading →

John-117

Master Chief is neither the most interesting nor my favorite character from the Halo universe, but he is lucky to have the honor of being sculpted in LEGO by Jack Marquez (Ewok in Disguise). Though a bit foreshortened in this photo, the assault rifle is a nice build in its own right.

If I were a legovore . . .

. . . I would so eat this. This entry by Sven Junga for the Mocathalon contest is fantastic in and of itself, but the brick built scalloped edge plate, garnish and crustacean flesh extractor all enhance the awesomeness.

Bad to the bones

I’ve never seen a fully articulated Lego skeleton sculpture until now. This model by Clay Morrow was real enough to fool me from the thumbnail. The rib cage is especially well-done.

One does seem to be missing.

Those three blind mice. See how they run? According to Barney Main (SlyOwl), one wasn’t quite quick enough. There is a ton of great stuff hidden in plain sight in this photo. The whole presentation of it is just fabulous.

LEGO is greebly

As evidenced by this sculpture by Lukáš Šógor.

Spitfire Mk IX

This plane is just gorgeous. Ed Diment (Lego Monster) states that it’s a 1 in 20th scale, and he plans to add more. I can’t wait.

Lego Big Mac meal is healthy for you

With more bricks and fewer calories, who can resist? By Schfio Factory. Thanks for the tip El Barto!

Planet of the squid

I don’t think I need to say much about Dave Shaddix‘s latest.
