The Brothers Brick

Andrew Lee is calling it the Raptor. I call them T-Rex parts. I expect that everyone will call it awesome.

I’m sure I’m going to have to do a round-up post at the end of the month with all my favorite Vic Vipers. In the meantime, I couldn’t resist posting one that I just saw.
Stefan (Brainbikerider) has a pretty different take on the Vic Viper shape. His ship is a lot less pointy [...]

These are my two latest spaceships: the Last Moon and the Grim Star. While the creations are inspired by the moon and star, the models are built to showcase their unique printed windshield. These are being auctioned as part of Creations for Charity.

Jarek has decided to build his own take on the vehicles in the Space Police set Hyperspeed Pursuit.
Here’s the police cruiser, which I think is an excellent revision. I especially like the distribution of black and white, perfect for a futuristic take on a cruiser.

Don’t forget to check out his take on [...]

It seems both inevitable and appropriate that humankind will name a spacegoing vehicle after astronomer and author Carl Sagan. We’ve also come to expect excellence from the collaborations between Ed Diment and Ralph Savelsberg.
The Carl Sagan certainly doesn’t disappoint.

Describing it as a “near-future deep space exploration ship” inspired by Ralph’s microscale John Archibald Wheeler, the [...]

Dean Hofmeyer (Unique Name) teased us with a work-in-progress picture way back in July, but the wait for his Gungnir Interceptor was well worth it.

To quote Chris Malloy’s comment, “Gorgeous integration of anime-esque styling, advanced techniques, and classic colours. The windscreen is particularly note-worthy.” Well said.

Over on Flickr, Space2310 has posted an excellent new ship, the Wingham Red. It’s a little light on description right now, so I can’t be sure if it’s a fighter or racer or something else, but that hardly matters.
The curved shaping on the front of this sucker is just beautiful. Sometimes the gaps [...]

Once again I find myself with more neat stuff to blog and no time to do it all justice. At least I added names this time. Does anyone else find the new version of flickr really frustrating for obtaining image [...]

The good folks in the LEGO Starfighters group on Flickr have started a new Novvember. That means that many people are building Vic Vipers, inspired by the game Gradius, all month long.
I’m digging the one below by legodrome, and I’m sure there will be many more nice fighters to come. I [...]

Through a fortunate series of events, Alan McMorran was in Seattle last weekend and dropped by BrickCon for a day. When he wasn’t hanging out with the zombie overlords, he was taking a really cool set of pictures featuring his Doctor Who minifig and LEGO TARDIS.

Here, the good Doctor manages to avoid Josh’s motorized dragon [...]

Chris Giddens (Fazoom) has managed to get back on the horse and build something in his PCS theme. This science vessel has a really cool concept. Each of the colored pods on the sides is a different interchangeable science module. I like modularity, and this is a well thought out concept. [...]

At least, Sven Junga seems to think so. While I wouldn’t mind a name, I can’t argue with a shape like this. The bulk is just perfect, it looks like this ship can move quickly and really take a beating. It probably can’t maneuver well, but it shouldn’t matter. I also [...]

Tim (Roguebantha 1138) posted this awesome micro-scale Neo Classic Space ship a couple of weeks ago. I’ve just spotted it, and I think it’s great. There are so many great shapes in this, the cockpit area, the fuselage, even the wings. I guess it’s just all satisfying.

Inspiration can come from many sources. In the case of this L-36 Lapin courier ship, the color scheme was inspired by a pair of sneakers. Does the ship remind anyone else of a bunny?

Though vehicles by Mark Stafford (nabii) tend more toward the spacey, new creations from him are no less an event than ones from his LEGO coworker Adam.

The “Saddleback” is part of the Star Justice universe designed by Chris Giddens. The front-end greebles are gorgeous, as are the engines (encircled by skis).

This spiky spacecraft by Toby Heineman (tobyhein) looks like it could punch quite the hole in the hull of those flying saucers hovering over our city.

The texture on the engines is particularly nice.

H Russel (TalonKarde) simply calls this a T-59 Snubnose. I call it cool. He’s done a great job of combining components at various different angles, to form a cohesive ship.

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.
