Jordan Schwartz is one of those builders we’d like to blog more often, but with new creations just about every day, we’re not quite ready to turn The Brothers Brick into the Sir Nadroj Show. ;-)
Jordan’s latest is an adorable Fabuland scene (aren’t they all?) depicting a pair of Fabuland characters squaring off in a sumo ring:
Minifigs.net member ArzLan is a customizer I hadn’t encountered until I saw this gorgeous samurai on Brickshelf:
Poking around, I found even more great custom samurai minifigs:
Don’t miss lots of other great creations in ArzLan’s Brickshelf gallery.
I know this because I’ve chatted with Nelson about sushi over instant messaging several times. And also because he’s posted this wonderful platter of LEGO sushi:
Inspired by the 1995 game Wipeout, Havoc‘s futuristic racing scene both excellent buildings with custom billboards and a set of six great racers:

I first read George Orwell’s Animal Farm as a child, long before learning about the complex allegory of historical references (such as Snowball‘s representation of Leon Trotsky). When I read it again in college, a whole new dimension opened on the page.
Harrison uses BrickForge animals to illustrate a crucial scene in the book:
Fair warning that adult language and crude behavior on the part of a mechanized fruit juicer are a click or two away from any link in this post.
If you’ve never read the Penny Arcade webcomic, Justin Pratt‘s most recent post-apocalyptic diorama probably won’t make much sense to you:
As if fruit weren’t scarce enough in this bleak landscape…
Nick Dean‘s latest vehicle addition to his futuristic Austrian military called RAMM is the largest and most impressive RAMM model so far. The smooth hull of the aircraft created by the repetitive use of round slope pieces has to be my favorite aspect of the model. Take a look at the gallery and you’ll see that there is room for a ground vehicle inside the plane – very impressive indeed.
Nathan Proudlove‘s latest creation is an retro-chic bowling alley Googie architecture of the 1950s — complete with interior:
Adding to the summer fun, Nathan has also posted a lovely beach scene:
My latest contribution to the post-apocalypse theme is a diorama depicting a desolated scene where one man has remained on these grounds to construct a machine that will lead to salvation. But as time progresses, hope is about to turn into a deeply disturbing discovery. Find out what happened by reading the short story on MOCpages.
This creation is also my entry for the ApocaLEGO Picking up the Pieces Contest on Flickr that ends on July 31st. There’s still more than two weeks left to paricipate!
Peter Edwards’ latest addition to his Bodville layout includes an amazing LEGO MINDSTORMS RCX gantry crane for his train yard:
Watch the awesome video right here on The Brothers Brick:
You can also check out lots of pictures on Brickshelf.
With his British Airways Concorde, Ed Diment gives Ralph Savelsberg’s B-1B Lancer a run for its money as the largest fan-built LEGO airplane model:
Even at this enormous scale, Ed has built functionality into the model. The landing gear can be stored inside the fuselage and the nose goes up and down:
Here’s Ed proving that even such a huge LEGO model is still swooshable:
