Ed Diment (Lego Monster) will be arriving in New York City in two weeks with his USS Intrepid aircraft carrier to assemble and display it at the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. Ed will be there for two full days, Friday April 15 and Saturday April 16, after which the LEGO Intrepid will be Continue reading →
Sure I could have made these two blog posts but to my eyes these two LEGO models look like they could be from the same universe so I’m indulging my imagination and putting them together. First is the Fast Attack Vehicle by Kyle Vrieze (bermudafreze) in three variants. The whole design is cleverly built at Continue reading →
For our collaborative display at BrickCon this year, we’ve decided to focus more on current events. With disaster in Japan, turmoil in Libya, rising oil prices, and North Korea plotting to take over the world, we decided that the stage is ripe for World War III! That’s right, bring your shattered buildings and loose bricks Continue reading →
I think I vaguely remember the TV show M.A.S.K. but you don’t really need to know what Boulder Hill is to know you like the LEGO model. The service station mode is cool enough but Alex Schranz (“Orion Pax”) lets it transform just like the toy.
It looks like Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) loved M.A.S.K. as much as I did. It was ones of the many toy lines my parents refused to buy for me as a kid. Alex’s model incorporates many of the play features found in the original toy, as well.
Adrian Florea has managed to sneak away from work long enough to share this excellent creation with us. I’m not sure if it’s based on an actual Maschinen Krieger model, but it certainly fits that style. It’s a tough style to render in the brick, and this is a great job.
I must confess to being completely exhausted at the moment. Still, I wanted to post this dropship by Nate Daly. Maybe it’s because it’s in one of my favorite color schemes, or the little pop open flaps on top, or just the heavy and armored feel working for a dropship. Also, check out this starfighter, Continue reading →
Fedde’s (Karf Oohlu) Tonka Heavy Assault Truck is far from its tame Brand-name counterpart. This armored vehicle of destruction is jam packed with cannons, missiles, and turrets to clean up a ground army.
We don’t often see mecha like this one by Ryuhei Kawai (kwi-chang). It has a large chunky flavor, and barely a smooth surface in sight. The various bristles all seem to have a purpose (grenade launchers, radar, ammo, etc.) and it manages to work. The addition of pistons on the back of the legs, as Continue reading →
Carter Baldwin doesn’t seem to believe in straight lines. His NATO F-83 Seraphim is all angles, curves, hooks and beauty. And it even has working landing gear.
Chris Edwards once again demonstrates proper way of controling the action with his latest diorama called War Machines Strike. Using clever building techniques as well as puns, Chris shows us what happens when intelligent combat robots throw down their weapons and go on strike, ha! Check out the full gallery on Flickr.
This plane is just gorgeous. Ed Diment (Lego Monster) states that it’s a 1 in 20th scale, and he plans to add more. I can’t wait.
Ryuhei Kawai (Kwi-chang) recently saw TRON Legacy and was inspired to create this four-wheeled sci-fi buggy as his first LEGO creation of the year. The buggy has four-wheel suspension, and looks like it’ll go just about anywhere.
Sometimes, getting the right photo of a creation seems to be as important as the construction itself. A poor photograph can reduce a great creation to mediocrity, and a great photograph catch the eye, drawing the viewer in to examine more closely. The latter was the case with this vertical tank by Ribbitz over on Continue reading →
This little artillery platform by Théo (Titolian) is simple but looks lovely. I quite enjoy the curved cross-section, as well as those incorporated into the front. The part use for the back of the missile pod (a fire truck basket, if I’m not mistaken), is also quite nice.
