The wind whistles and sage brush roll by, only to be caught in the slats of the crumbling fence. At five minutes to midnight, a lonely skeleton waits for a train that will never come.
Yes, it’s another great Wild West creation by The Brickster:
I love all the eyes in the windows.
Mark Kelso posted the story of the beginning of one man’s journey into the darkness. The pictures which feature actual LEGO goes beyond those of ordanary LEGO photographs. The editing casts an ethereal effect to the grandiose scenes depicted, and the story is worthy of reading as well. Follow the mysterious young man as he is lulled by an unknown force into the darkness of a cave buried inside the jungle. For those who enjoy a thought-provoking work, this is a rare treat.
Continuing on the retro-future theme for a bit.
Soren has added to his aliens with a Martian spacesuit and the Secretary General of the UP
Charlie has his Angels…I’ve got my Ninjettes. I think mine would win.
…you can only hope to contain him. The great master of the diorama Keith Goldman presents his newest work in response to Shannon Young‘s new game of MOCtag. It’s a romantic scene about a hot babe and a “genetically altered super-checken” called Rory. Why am I not surprised?
Their love is as boundless as the sea and Keith’s infinite supply of bricks.
Adrian Florea (Olog) is not only a great builders, but a diverse one as well. Check out this Gundam model of Gundam Kyrios, posing formidably on in an aerial stance. This work along with some others will be featured at a small exhibition of anime based MOCs at a japanese teahouse in Romania.
Rong Yiren is working on a nifty series of nomadic, tribal bots. Never one to pass up on a good battle scene, I fell in love with these vicious little brutes.
Lino Martins, the Lord of Lugnuts and Master of Motor Vehicles, strikes again. Dubbed “Solar Flare”, his 1960 Impala station wagon is ready for a day of surfin’ and a night of cruisin’.
It’s rather rare that we feature a LEGO Harry Potter creation, but Garth Danielson helps us end that drought with his great “Gryffindor Fire”:
Garth uses a cool bent wall technique to evoke the tower, with a detailed fireplace and furniture.
Whether it’s the World War Z diorama I’m working on or the fact that I just finished building the amazing 10185 Green Grocer (favorite LEGO set of the year so far), I have increasing interest in LEGO Town creations.
This means I’m spending a lot more time on Brick Town Talk, an excellent LEGO blog about City and Town creations. I spent a couple hours there recently looking for (and finding) inspiration for future projects.
Particularly inspiring is Tom Snellen‘s large layout. Here are the two wonderful buildings featured on Brick Town Talk:
If you’re interested in trying your hand at LEGO Town, a good place to start may be the Building Tips section on LEGO.com, which includes several videos featuring Café Corner and Green Grocer

The fight between the white and black space ninja continues in Shannon Young‘s third diorama of the battle (you can see the previous ones here). This time, it takes place in a factory powerplant with dangerous cliffs. This large diorama measures 109 studs wide by 36 deep and rises 60 studs high, that’s planty of space for backflips, walljumps, and other sweet ninja moves.
Since I’m running an older Mac here at home (too old to dual-boot or run VPC), my knowledge of Portal is limited — and reinterpreted — by the many LEGO creations the game has inspired.
Nevertheless, I recognize a good Weighted Companion Cube when I see one. Le’pena uses mainly Technic and Bionicle pieces to achieve the necessary effect:
