Carl Greatrix is a designer for the official Lego games, and his design of the Flying Dutchman for the Lego Pirates of the Caribbean video game shows why he’s the man for the job. Even though this is a render, just about all the parts used are official Lego elements.
Sandy (AKA Rythmik♫) has built a gunblade that is to die for…or die by. Either way, it has a very sleek, elegant look to it and the pendent gives it that sought after “I’ll kill you but feel bad about it after” vibe that so many people strive for but seldom achieve.
Alexandre Bigeard’s (V1lain) Starfox Arwing makes me just want to say that.
Tyler shows that you don’t need a pre-designed piece to build a Lego Halo Banshee in minifigure scale. The Ghost and Covenant units are also quite nice.
As readers will have noticed in our LEGO News feed last week, custom minifig accessory vendor BrickForge has just released a new batch of items, including a new “Shock Trooper” armor. We ordered a couple batches, and I managed to find enough sunshine in the Seattle “summer” to take a few pictures. The armor comes Continue reading →
Tyler (Legohaulic) built Chell and a companion cube from Portal 2 to go along with his Lego Atlas and P-Body.
Matt De Lanoy (Pepa Quin) built the Red Team lineup from Valve’s Team Fortress 2. You can see more pictures of the individual characters on Flickr.
In addition to the bottles and beakers unveiled at BrickFair, BrickForge has just announced “Shock Trooper” helmets and armor that fit right in with their existing “Space Marine” armor.
Ben Caulkins (Benny Brickster) didn’t end his Halo building streak on the Master Chief suit, he continued to make the iconic Pelican dropship in minifigure scale. The challenging angles are one of the highlights of this model; you can explore more details in the gallery on Flickr.
If you ever wondered what GLaDOS would look like in a Lego potato, then wonder no more. Chris McVeigh (powerpig) has what you’re looking for.
This mosaic, by Andy, is a real eye-catcher. I love the split view of MegaMan and the background gives it a great look.
We get this awesome micro-scale dreadnaught, posted by Sydag on flickr. For those not in the know, the Vayger and Somtaw are both factions in the PC game series Homeworld. They each have their own visually distinctive style, and each have been inspiring LEGO creations for some time now. This is the first time I’ve Continue reading →
Obvious Portal references aside, I was drawn to this ship by Jack McKeen (madLEGOman), because of the interesting shapes I saw in a thumbnail. The cockpit shape is really quite beautiful, even if it can’t actually fit a fig inside. It reminds me of a compound eye, as it’s covered in various facets. The angular Continue reading →
Imagine Rigney displayed this Bioshock creation at Brickworld last weekend. This multi-story vignette features scenes from Bioshock from the ravaged rooms of Rapture to the cold depths of the ocean floor. There’s much more behind the walls and windows of the building you see. Check out all the details on Flickr.
This banshee, by Antti Havala, is incredibly gorgeous and that isn’t something you can say about a lot of Technic builds. Sporting four rotors, two motors, adjustable rotor pitch and two LED headlights, this Banshee screams for attention. You have to watch the video too. It’s pretty sweet. . Many thanks to Glory_Forever for the Continue reading →
