Eric Sophie makes what he calls “living LEGO.” He recently updated an older mecha that certainly does exude a palpable menace. Behold the Beeesh (yes, three E’s):

I’ve got a lovely fresh cuttlefish for you...
Greeple and Urple the Podagons
Megan Rothrock is at it again — creating truly unique, wildly colorful creatures. Her two latest beasts are inspired by X-pods. There’s a green one and a purple one.
Greeple, who loves “pizza, and pizza delivery boys”:
Urple, whose palate is equally sophisticated:

The Way of the Robot Warrior
I spent an hour or two before heading to the SEALUG meeting this afternoon building a few new minifigs. One batch I was pretty happy with was this group of four robots inspired by ancient Japanese warriors:
I also built a couple more futuristic minifigs. Here’s my Blacktron-ish commando:
I’ve always loved jetpacks. I just started adding pieces to the old Spaceport jetpack to make this one. Naturally, it also fires rockets that go boom:

Matt De Lanoy’s Mos Eisley diorama
Matt De Lanoy, aka Pepa Quin, impress us all with a diorama he showed at a recent LEGO exhibition called Brickfest. It is just wicked. Besides having a good amount of details, it is also motorized so that a bunch of vehicles can run around on it! Here is a gallery with pictures of it, and there is also a complementary video on YouTube showing it in action. Good stuff.

A newcomer is in town, showcasing Mark Stafford’s Isurus
Hi there. You might notice that I’m not one of the usual posters – Andrew or Josh – but rather someone else. My name is Linus Bohman, and I usually build and hang out with lego space builders. If you recognize my name you might have seen me on Classic-Space or From Bricks To Bothans. Andrew has contracted me (I wont say what I get out of this ;-) to be part of the bigger better Brother’s Brick and bring you the latest and best of the spacey goodness out there – something I intend to do swiftly and unmercifully. Now, let’s get it on!
Mark Stafford has posted an update to the previously blogged Mako. The new craft is a military version, and a great improvement to an already nice craft:
The new craft is called Isurus. Wonder why? Read Mark’s short comic strip, entitled “gentle persuasion“, to find out…

Arvo’s Mini Nord Lead
Nearly six months ago I blogged Brickshelfer arvo’s LEGO Nord Lead synthesizer — so realistic it fits right in with a collection of real synthesizers.
A full-size version of a synthesizer is all well and good, but arvo proves he can reduce the same concept down to a much smaller scale (which I argue is harder) with this new version:
I’m going to take a wild guess that this Technic musician is sequencing a techno beat:

Izzo’s Heavy Industries
I’ve been blogging a lot of Izzo’s minifigs lately, so it’s only fair that I feature some of his creations that I’m sure required a bit more effort. His latest series is a batch of mecha for future industries.
A loader and a cement mixer/dauber:
A demolition mecha and a high-legged carriage-bot:
Be sure to check out the full gallery on Brickshelf for more pictures and action shots.

Um, how do I put this delicately?
Izzo hasn’t just been making musical minifigs lately. Look for some new mecha here on TBB soon, but I wanted to go back a few days to one of Izzo’s earlier posts.
Tremble in fear before the mighty Amazon!!!
I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this. She’s so, uh, top-heavy!

Professor Nutbolt’s Eccentric Inventions
What I like about steampunk is that it’s inherently anachronistic — Castlers and Spacers alike can claim the theme and build in it. Most of the recent steampunk LEGO here on The Brothers Brick has been from Spacers, but Classic-Castler marakoeschtra presents two vehicles from the “eccentric inventor” Professor Nutbolt.
First, a “Pitchfork Walker“:
And here’s Nutbolt’s “DragonFly“:
