Matija Puzar announced back in September that he had completed his LDraw design for a LEGO version of the Croatian National Theater.
As impressive as the design may have been, the actual creation is just plain gorgeous. The capitals on the columns are particularly beautiful.
Thanks to Brick Town Talk for pointing me to the real thing.
My favorite entry so far in Mike Yoder’s Fanboy Cover Contest on Classic-Space.com is Andrew Lee‘s microscale interpretation of Dan Jassim‘s Regent.
Here’s the original, with builder for scale:
Sekiyama (blog) is one of those builders I run very hot and somewhat cold for but this loco is most definitely hot. It even has working pistons (although some cutting may be involved) and gorgeous innards. Check out those arched windows too, tres bien.
EC40 was manufactured by Allgemeine Germany in 1912.She was the first electric locomotive in JNR.She was sold to private railway back_Keifuku TeKi512, and used until 1970.
Well that’s enough of his description, enjoy this wonderful and working creation.

That’s right, Aaron (Darkspawn) created a scene of a majestic bathhouse, but the royal atmosphere was quickly contaminated by two naked knights crashing in on the princess’ “me” time.
Super starship builder Peter Morris has come up with the delightful gtx390aSteppenwulf01 starfighter. It’s excellent even by his high standards. What’s more it’s modular… how cool is that?
Check out Nnenn‘s latest fighter, there’s something about the color that I like, maybe it’s the soothing light blue background.
The whimsical mind of Mike Crowley (aka Count Blockula) has no limits. This time, he turns to make something exciting out of the mundane. Check out the “ongoing domestic winter adventures of Snowblower Man!”
“He’s just a regular guy, living in the northeastern part of the United States, trying his best to make it through yet another winter. The first heavy snowfall of the season has hit, and he knows what to do: bundled up in his winter’s warmest, he journeys out into the cold. Into the backyard, with deep and heavy footsteps, he makes his way though the thick, frozen white, all the way to the tool shed, where his finds his rugged and reliable friend waiting.”
Stay tuned to Mike’s gallery, where he plans on making a new vignette each day featuring the Snowblower Man.
Hey y’all! Been busy lately (what else is new?) but I just got three more entries wrapped up for the Colossal Castle Contest.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

You ain’t getting in here!
Prepare your drool-bucket, Flickrite Doctor Sinister has just posted some detailed pictures of Indiana Jones set 7622 Race for the Stolen Treasure. You can read his review on Eurobricks here.
EDIT (AB): Early reviews of other sets are starting to trickle in. Jonathan G. has more (via Klocki):
Flickrite Lukas (Gladuis) presents the Futuramaesque GARBAGE [TRUCK] OF TEH FUTURZ. I just love the look of this thing and its similarities to official LEGO set.
In one form or another, The Brothers Brick may be nearly two and a half years old, but today marks the first anniversary of escaping a cold, soulless existence on Blogger into the warm, embracing arms of our own domain, Brothers-Brick.com.
Okay, so Blogger wasn’t that bad, but one year on Brothers-Brick.com has made a huge difference.
By the numbers:
There are Brothers-Brick.com readers in 152 countries and regions around the world:
Here are a few of my favorite lists, based on statistics from this past year:

Since moving to Brothers-Brick.com, we’ve made quite a few additions:
What all of this tells me is that Brothers-Brick.com is more than just the sum of six contributors and a new domain. The Brothers Brick wouldn’t be the same without all of you who build the great creations we blog, send us links, leave comments, and visit the blog every day.
So, a big “Thank you!” to everyone for helping to make The Brothers Brick (wait for it…) the best LEGO blog on the Blog-o-Tubes! :-D
