I’m breaking an old rule and a brand new one here. Brothers Brick debutante Heather (Flickr) shows the boys how to do it with her super detailed Doll’s House. In break from tradition I borrowed its name for the blog post because, quite frankly, it’s awesome.
Credit to Shannon Ocean and Mastergongfu for the heads up.
A good diorama always impresses me and this is a fine example. The members of LugPol (the Polish LUG) have combined forces to present a beautifully integrated display at the Museum of Toys in Kielce. Karwik’s (Noddy) photos provide both overviews and close-ups of the details making me even more disappointed I couldn’t be there.
Update: Zombie Apocafest 2008 went off smashingly at BrickCon 2008. Don’t miss our full coverage here on The Brothers Brick:
BrickCon 2008 is less than a month away. The list of attendees is growing, and it’s starting to look like this will be the first 200-attendee BrickCon!
Today and tomorrow are your very last chance to [...]
The Genius of Tiny Things, Michael Jasper recently posted a new minifig accessory — the shopping cart:
And for those who missed it, a very tiny motorcycle:
Karwik (Noddy), the guy with the bikes, is throwing a big party at his motorcycle clubhouse, and gosh is the scene lively. With so many people and bikes to check out and details aligning every corner, this is something you don’t want to miss. Oh, and the fun’s just getting started, check out the details [...]
BrickCon is just around the corner. In fact, if you don’t register before September 8th, the price goes up to $60 and you won’t be guaranteed personalized stuff like engraved brick badges.
My contribution to the LEGO Zombie Apocafest display we’re organizing is an auto repair shop and a fire station in a diorama that I’m [...]
David Pagano, Nate Burr and myself were all recently asked by the LEGO Company to make a brickfilm to celebrate the LEGO minifigure’s 30th birthday. This is my contribution, 30 Years: The Story of the Minifigure. How many historical figures/events can you name?

David Pagano, along with Nate Burr and myself, were recently asked by the LEGO Company to make a brickfilm celebrating the LEGO minifigure’s 30th birthday. David’s brickfilm is a romp through time and space, celebrating the best of the LEGO sets and minifigures over the past 30 years:

In Kristian’s imagination, aliens are rather clumsy while landing their flying saucers and aren’t especially known for their hygiene:
The slime is rather amusing, and I can’t help but chuckle at the poor guy who didn’t manage to get out from under the saucer’s landing gear.
While we’re at it, here’s the sort of great zombie scene [...]
Erik “Eti” Smit has built a faithful recreation of various locations in the world of Pippi Longstocking, including Pippi’s house, Villa Villekulla.
The two-story house has a porch (with a horse on it), lemonade tree, swing set, and detailed interior with a kitchen and bedroom.
Other locations in Pippi’s world include her father’s ship in the harbor, [...]
Or does he? Andrew takes the current Nascar fad and turns it on its head. This makes it a lot more interesting in my book…
Thanks to Curtis for getting our rear in gear on this one.
I guess we are on a car kick. Check out this rendition of the VW Samba-Bus by Scandell. I love the color scheme and that interior is pretty sweet. I’m loving those seats!
edulyoung has built an incredibly detailed Model T. I think my favorite detail is the tires. Awesome.
While only time will tell I have a sneaking suspicion that Mike Psiaki may have just started a fad with his NASCAR racer. It’s small, colourful, easy enough to make and an excellent design.
Stage 1) Mike makes one, Stage 2) I make two, Stage 3) Mike shows a how-to, Stage 4) Instant fad?
Check out the [...]
Mike Psiaki (who is no stranger to being blogged) has built a climatic scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park that is better than the movie it was based upon!
Also check out Mike’s three Pteranodon and Parasaurolophus:
EDIT: fixed errors, thanks Dr. Paleo!
LEGO Ambassador Chiukeung won the Hong Kong Scene Building contest with his lighted model of Hong Kong’s Clock Tower and Cultural Centre.

Enjoy your trip Chiukeung!
