I’m always happy to see innovations in MOCs. This creation by Alex Mac puts a twist on the traditional concept of a western duel, literally. I can imagine the bullets spiraling from the guns of the shooter to his opponent. You can see more pictures including the technique on MOCpages.
Bart De Dobbelaer, known for his storytelling through vignettes, has unveiled the first scene of another story about a band of misfits trapped in a strange world. Inspired by sci-fi films such as Cube, Alien Resurrection, and Predators, this story promises to be a thrill ride. You can follow it in this gallery.
Settlers of Catan is, by all accounts, a rather fun German board game. LEGO is, by all accounts, a rather fun toy. So it makes sense to combine the two. Except Michael (suparMacho) hasn’t actually built this. He’s use SR3D builder (an LDraw editor) and POVray to render it. Aside from those people lucky enough Continue reading →
Hans Dendauw (tigmon74) captures the art of meditation in this well crafted vignette featuring the Ninjago minifigs. Thanks for the tip Chris Phipson!
At least this cute little one by Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick). My favorites for sure are Oscar the Grouch and Elmo’s little clam head, but Cookie Monster comes in a close. Why in the world am I not camped outside Matt’s house waiting for the next great creation?
In this comical vignette, Kevin Wise (WisrthanU) presents one of the best uses of the dummy fig along with an effective application of forced perspective.
Brad Bergman made a full size window display of an advent calendar. Each of the 24 room contains a vignette and represents a day of December leading up to Christmas. Although you can already see the rooms revealed, Brad is posting detail shots of each vignette daily along with a description. You can follow the Continue reading →
Bart De Dobbelaer has started another series of storytelling vignettes, and this time the plot takes place in a fantasy era setting. I love the construction of each vignette on an irregularly shaped base. If you haven’t experienced Bart’s other two stories, you should check them out.
Now you can score this real-gold plated LEGO turkey, the only one ever made from ChromeBricks, and it’s awesome. Simply build a turkey in the next three weeks and post a picture on this Flickr page, just in time for Thanksgiving. Yum. Full details here.
I’m liking the imposing majesty conveyed by Jonathan Gilbert (Shmails) in this loose micro rendition of the Abu Simbel temple complex on the Nile in Egypt. He’s also made a quite a nice vignette from the opening scene in Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange.
I spent four days under the shadow of Robin Sather’s 1:1 scale torii gate at BrickCon last weekend, so it was lovely to see this equally impressive-but much smaller- version of Miyajima Torii by Matija Grguric.
I’m back from BrickCon, and ready to unveil the only new creation I’ve built since July. I had the funky idea to build this one evening, and actually had the time to do so. I figured that the post-apocalypse building scene could use a little more levity, and what’s better than cheerleaders to bring some Continue reading →
Apparently that’s what Mr. Sharkman is selling. This vignette by Harlen (tomi&tree) is whimsically creepy. It’s even more interesting to see his adorable four year old son play with his new toy in this video.
The poor mime never saw it coming. Great job James Zhan (pirate_cat), this would go well with Théo’s greeble attack.
I love the usually exotic vignettes by Crises. This one features a carnivorous plant, but what makes it interesting is the use of the Clickits cord for the plant’s tongue attacking an unsuspecting visitor. I also like the technique of using control lever bases to prop the glass panels.
