…now that’s a first. But besides this unique feature, there’s plenty of other details and techniques to catch the eye in Nnenn‘s latest work. The innovation of form and expertise in color usage can be presumed, but check out the technique used in construction of the cylinders on the twin sides of the ship.
Azumu depicts a romantic winter love scene with a touch of magical snowflakes. I like the form of the entire vignette, not to mention the feeling of the depicted subject. Even though the snow is cold, my heart absorbs the warmth of lovers being together.
Edit (AB): This is Azumu’s entry for the annual building contest held at Click-Brick stores.
I found the Saturday Night Live skit spoofing There Will be Blood a week ago highly amusing, but not having seen the movie yet, I never imagined the milkshake bit was actually in the movie (as I learned during the Oscars the next night)!
Sir Nadroj creates minifig versions of the entire cast (his Daniel Plainview and Eli Sunday above), while Jordan takes a different approach by putting the characters in a vignette (below).
Finally, Graeme “Littlebrick” Allen reminds us that we missed James Morr’s “There Will be Bricks” (thanks Graeme!):
You’ve probably seen the paintings of surrealist artist René Magritte, even if you didn’t realize what you were puzzling over was by him. Uli Meyer has created a wonderful LEGO version of Magritte’s “Time Transfixed,” complete with a microscale train that’s great in its own right.
(Thanks for the tip, Tim David!)
Today is a wonderful day for fans of LEGO mecha. I’m going for a triple post due to the flood of excellent designs.
Firstly Lukas presents this amazing Industrial Grade P-8 Lifter Robot. It’s tiny, it’s incredibly attractive and it has just become my favourite small scale mecha design.
Secondly Aaron Andrews has demonstrated his skill at both mecha and fantasy with The Troll Crusher, a ‘dwarf punk’ creation.
Finally Soren Roberts gives a cute overload with Danboard.
I’m all out of gushing words. I just plain love all three.
Steven Walker (Brickshelf user kwycstix) presents the most complete and complicated LEGO rollercoaster model I’ve seen. It’s based on the crazy mouse rollercoaster design, notorious for its sharp turns and steep dropoffs. Here, the builder uses t-connectors and cut up sections of pneumatic pipes to create the track. It must have taken quite some work, and the result is impressive.
I’m sure almost all who visits lego galleries have seen my profile portrait, which pops up on the brickshelf recent pages once in a while when I make a new creation. This has inspired the ever so whitty Rocko to create his own self portrait shot. Well, two can’t be in the same pose; maybe I should make another one or even start an AFOL self-portrait glamour shot contest. Throw those mad building skills to the wind and show the real you. I’ll be sure to find a panel of female judges ;)
The contest idea is not to be taken seriously, but it would be interesting.
The Black Fantasy contest has just ended, and there are has been a myriad of entries, including a score of stunningly horrific creatures. The following highlights some of the amazing entries submitted towards the end of the contest.
The Final Horror, by Dene Quest.
Kermit the Destroyer, by Megan Rothrock.
Howl of Lamentations Unending, by Justin Vaughn.
The Demon of Madness, by Justin Stebbins.
Infinite Sadness, by Chris Edwards.
Click through to Brickshelf to find out what happens to the dutiful cook whose food is poisoned, in this vignette series by Tom Sneller.
As a sucker for LEGO puns, Marcin Danielak (Hippotam from Klocki) makes me el oh el.
The Clikits (since when do we have a Clikits post category?!) on the tree are a nice touch, as is the tiled floor and the truck shirt the dude with the wheel is wearing.
Building well runs in the Wunz family. Like his brother Chris, Thomas Wunz mainly builds castle creations, and it’s always a pleasure to spend time looking through all the details in Thomas’s medieval farms, mines, monasteries, and so on.
Thomas’s latest vignettes (entries for the Classic-Castle.com Storytelling Contest) don’t disappoint those looking for interesting details.
Be sure to check out the full photoset on Flickr so you can find out for yourself why the title of these vigs is so clever.
