Nowhere to run

Sometimes, the words we write for our blog posts can’t do justice to the wonderful LEGO creations we feature. Here’s Kevin (Legorevolution) in his own words:
The NSR (or New Space Reich) lost contact with the battle cruiser Andromeda a little over 2 light years ago. Since the vessel was exploring an uncharted sector of space, [...]

Hooray for the Whore of Babylon!

Oh, I’m sorry, was that the wrong response to this new installment in Brendan Powell Smith’s The Brick Testament

I love the apocalypse, just love it.

Chk’ chk’ Boom

Dr. X shows us how zombie-apoc is done with these excellent vehicles. They look like contemporary vehicles, but with stuff tacked on. That is good.

This is not the future my mother warned me about – Terminator Salvation minifigs

It’s been a very long time since going to see a movie inspired me to build a bunch of minifigs as soon as I got home. I saw Terminator Salvation on Saturday night, and had to build the heroes and their antagonists.

The human Resistance wouldn’t be the same without a couple of T-600 Terminators to [...]

The LEGO convention season is upon us, and BrickCon 2009 is just over four months away — time to start planning your trip and what you’re going to build. Likewise, it’s time [...]

Bring on the Waterworks

Chase Lewis (Vid’) has posted his largest LEGO diorama to date, featuring a band of survivors holding out against a well-armed apoca-boat.

Check out the full photoset on Flickr.

The Swinepocalypse is upon us!

Andrew Summersgill (Doctor Sinister) has posted a very timely swine flu pandemic vignette that perfectly captures the mood in the news over the last few days.

Sebastian Arts’ Reality Dysfunction will eat your city

Run and hide your Cafe Corner, Market Street and Green Grocer!  This creepy creation built by Sebastian “Aliencat” Arts will consume all!

Side note: haha, take that Nannan, I finally blogged a Black Fantasy creation before you!

What do Half-Life 2 and Magritte have to do with each other?

Absolutely nothing.  But I am a huge fan of these two completely unrelated minfigs.
Balakov recreates Magritte’s The Son of Man in LEGO:

 
And hobo has made a minifig Poison Headcrab Zombie from Half-Life 2.
 

Peter Reid’s Wasteland

I guess things aren’t too bad in Peter Reid’s (legoloverman) view of the post apocalypse.
Witness the tire swing hanging from the charred tree. Either it was added since the tree burned, or whatever caused it wasn’t bad enough to melt the rubber. Either way, I think there’s a positive message to [...]

LEGO Zombie Contest reveals theater infested with brain-hungry minifigs

The Big Toy Hut’s LEGO Zombie Contest includes some great entries so far, like this scene in a movie theater by Gettobread:

The theater itself includes excellent details, from Bruce Lee smashing through a wall to Snake Plisskin looking ready to escape New York.
Check out the rest of the entries on Flickr. If you want [...]

The Brick Testament tackles Revelation

Just in time for Easter, The Brick Testament takes on The Apocalypse of St. John the Apostle, or Revelation for short.
Click the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to read all four new stories from Revelation:

Visions of post-apocalyptic landscapes

The ApocaLEGO landscapes we feature here on The Brothers Brick tend to be fairly crowded with action. Kris Kelvin has, perhaps, a more realistic vision for our mutually assured destruction:

Garbageman13’s diorama may include a few more survivors, but the detailed building is what I find most striking:

I like LEGO zombies

Well, not in the sense that I want them to eat my minifigs’ brains (well, perhaps some of them), but in the sense that zombies make pretty much anything cooler.
The guys from The Big Toy Hut have put together a batch of minifigs inspired by the zombie megafigs by Andrew Bell:

While we’re at it, here [...]

Saving the last flower

Jeramy Cooke (icecoldmilk) recently finished a diorama intended for a certain contest a year ago :). It depicts a lone survivor guarding the last flower on Earth from an invading Black Fantasy creature. I love the dynamic chaos of the landscape and its contrast with a clean black and white tiled interior. Check through each [...]

Shelter in a post-apocalyptic storm

Kevin Fedde’s “larger project” Josh alluded to has apparently come to fruition:

A group of survivors cling to civilization in the middle of a wilderness. More on Brickshelf.

LEGO Gordon Freeman rampages through Half Life 2 Nova Prospekt

ORRANGE has been playing Half-Life 2.

There are lots of details to check out in this diorama, including several custom minifigs (note Gordon Freeman himself and the poor dude parasitized by a headcrab).

Any longer out on that road and I’m one of them, a terminal psychotic…

Building from inspiration unlikely to result in any official sets for his day job, Adam “MisterZumbi” Grabowski gives Mad Max the LEGO treatment.
