I’ve seen a lot of trains, but I don’t remember seeing a subway scene. If that’s what you’re look for, then Nathaniel Brill has something for you. The train runs on a 12-volt track, which is not the standard train track design by LEGO. Also note that the arched ceiling in the subway station is [...]
I’m unabashedly a fan of brown and all its permutations, so that’s definitely what first caught my eye about this department store by Dita Svelte. But then the gift just kept on giving.
Like most Cafe Corner standard buildings it has modular floors, but it has a few added features such as removable ground floor [...]
This section of town, by ericblacky, has buildings with a certain feel to them that I can’t describe. He says they are still a Work in Progress, but I felt I had to blog these. They are quite striking.
Sebastiaan Arts was listening to that album while he built he latest creation, so he named it appropriately. I love the two-tiered effect that he has going on here and its packed with the detail that we’ve come to expect from Sebastiaan. Check out all his pics and escape from your Monday (or [...]
What else is there to say? These candy machines by Armothe are perfect.
No, these toys are gangster. I especially like how Daniel Shehadeh (Sir Regonold) captures the action with the truck on the curb and trash knocked over.
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!
Esben Kolind shows us how to travel in style with his Intercity Train. On top of its sleek lines and excellent detailing the train features an attractive close-coupling technique.
For those builders of post-apoc, military, or realist city, here’s a technique shown on a creation by Marin Stipkovic that shows a nice effect of building decay. The multi-shades of plates mimics the exposed bricks while the gray simulates broken concrete. Looks useful!
As Tim and Mike demonstrate, collaborative builds need not be limited to once-a-year conventions or take the form of meters-long dioramas.
Lichtblau sent MisterZumbi pics of a Ford Taunus he’d been working on, and the two worked on the design together over the next couple of weeks. Here’s the result, in ever-awesome lime.
I recently contacted Mike Psiaki about redoing my favourite childhood set 6357 in a modern and detailed form. He agreed and after much conversation, sharing of photos and work this is the result. The helicopter was mostly made by Mike and the truck by me but both were discussed at length to get them looking [...]
This narrow bakery by valgarise first caught my eye because of its pretty exterior that uses just a few pink bricks to add some nice color highlights. What then drew me in was the number details in the interior.
There are so many cute features, but my favorite is probably the chef on a footstool frosting [...]
It seems that rural scenes are the new black. So soon after we blogged Yvonne Doyle’s English country scene brickshelf shows me Patrick Bosman’s Dutch Landscape. As with Yvonne, Patrick has also build off the grid to add a more organic feeling.
This rustic scene by Yvonne depicts Woodvale in early morning. The buildings borrow their style from the town of Stratford-upon-Avon. I really like how the lighting simulates a sunrise.
It’s no secret that I’m fond of Pakistani trucks and it’s a love I share with Adam Grabowski (misterzumbi). Let’s face it, Adam does it better than me.
And for any doubters the bags are duplo sleeping bags.
For once I don’t have to rack my brain trying to think of a relevant song. Barney Main (SlyOwl) has already done it for me by basing a diorama on Ralph McTell’s song Streets of London. Be sure to click through the pictures in order to match the song lyrics to the diorama.
Sean Kenney presents a public service announcement for bikers. Its message is simple yet striking. Check out Red Light.
For once the answer is yes.
Ronald Vallenduuk (Duq) has recently added a couple of sets of instructions to Flickr and kindly showed me how to get LPub working again. I actually reverse engineered the seat gondola many years back after seeing a picture of it and coveting it so it’s great to see Ronald making [...]
