Golden Samurai
I think it’s high-time we offered another custom minifigure. NickGreat previously offered some gorgeous customs a few years back, and has posted the newest edition–his Golden Samurai. via Classic-Castle
LEGO Ninjas models on The Brothers Brick
Yoshimitsu
Andrew Lee (onosendai2600) builds one big bad mean looking samurai. He says it is because every good guy needs a worthy opponent from time to time…well those weren’t his exact words.
The world has changed, Sensei
There tends to be some comfort in a glimmer of color, a bit of hope in a dark place. Seb Arts has illustrated that beautifully in his recent creation: I really don’t think words do much justice for this piece, so I will let the photos stand for themselves. You can see more over on Continue reading →
A Ronin’s Duty
It’s rare to see a LEGO torii that has the correct proportions, but this one by Shannon Young looks like it would be perfect on a mountain path leading up to a Shinto shrine. It’s also quite nice in this LEGO scene featuring a ronin taking a final journey.
When you leave the house determined not to see it again, you will come home safely
Stefan Käsmayer (-2×4-) captures the essence of a samurai house, complete with a well-tended garden and secure wall. I’m especially impressed with details like the slatted windows and stone base of the wall.
Here you shall find your inner peace
Sam W. (-infomaniac-) presents the Temple of the Tan Tiger complete with an interior, a backstory and his thoughts. It’s also a surprise to see a sci-fi builder build castle. Even among castle builders, it is rare to find a Japanese castle of this size and quality.
The Quest for Wisdom
Infomaniac has been working on a series which depicts a lone seeker on his quest for answers. I have to say that my favorite, so far, is this one. It is a striking build with a very clean presentation. Excellent!
Clear your mind
Hans Dendauw (tigmon74) captures the art of meditation in this well crafted vignette featuring the Ninjago minifigs. Thanks for the tip Chris Phipson!
NinjaGo, LEGO Star Wars, and most 2011 LEGO sets now available [News]
Though this is for US & Canada only at the moment, nearly all of the first quarter 2011 LEGO sets are now available from the LEGO Shop online. As if that’s not enough of a temptation, you can still order in time for Christmas. We here at The Brothers Brick are irrationally excited about what Continue reading →
Ghost Dog
Fradel Gonzales (Slice151) pays tribute to RoninLUG and his new job with these two traditional Japanese warriors.
A Warrior Born
I admit…I don’t look at a lot of custom minifigures. But there are, on occasion, those that give me pause. This is one of them: Created by geoshift, the detail work is impressive and the paint itself is very clean. It’s stunning. Of course, looking at the rest of the photostream, I realize I’ve clearly Continue reading →
Tea and serenity.
I may not be a tea-person (Hey. I’m from Seattle. Coffee all the way.), but I must say, Aaron’s Tea House is just far too inviting. I’m aware there’s some tension outside the building, but I just keep going back to the architecture. Lovely! I’d say this would look fetching in the BrickCon Big in Continue reading →
One man LEGO ninja weapon museum
Aaron Dayman (Aaron :-)) has raised the stakes in the classic-castle medieval weapon challenge with this entry. Aaron’s arsenal of of ninja weapons includes nunchaku, shuriken, caltrops, tekagi, fukiya and smoke bombs. I’m really looking forward to seeing these in the Big in Japan display at BrickCon 2010. Maybe we should put together an entire Continue reading →
Katsumoto
This samurai is astounding. The plethora of unusual pieces meshes perfectly together. Genius, I say. Pure Genius. You can color me a fan of the builder. His name is Cameron, by the way. And, yes, this is the type of thing we would love to see in the Big In Japan layout at BrickCon this Continue reading →
Mark Kelso is kung fu fighting
And his kicks will split you in half. Mark Kelso (Amhakia) made this vignette using lots of brilliant techniques and 100% unmodified Lego parts. Did you know that stickers can be used to connect pieces? Find out how he used them and more in the descriptions!
