Duco Brugman (bloei) presents a nightmarish castle perched on top of glowing lava. There is also a video that shows moving features of the creation. One of my favorite parts is the eerie transparent green accent, which balances the overwhelming hot colors.
It is always nice to see something new from Izo Yoshimura (Izzo’s Legostyle). Nicer still to see a collection.
Hatshepsut, a women who held the position of Pharaoh in the 18th Dynasty, built a mortuary temple fit for any king. She took power at the sudden death of her husband, Thutmose II, and stepped into history. She assumed the role of Pharaoh and left her mark, which later was struck from the record like Akhenaten and Nefertiti some 200 years later.
Matija Grguric has brought her temple to life. Deir el-Bahari is in western Thebes, and was inspired by the funerary temple of Mentuhotep II. Hatshepsut herself was buried nearby in the Valley of the Kings, and believed to have been lost to the sands.
Edit: This creation, along with the others in his Civilization series, are now available for your support on CUUSOO!
It’s been a while since we’ve blogged one of Ralph Savelsberg’s (Mad physicist) LEGO planes but the wait has definitely been worth it. With his F-105D Thunderchief he’s combined three difficult colours (old dark grey, dark tan and dark green) to pull off a realistic camouflage pattern. And the quality certainly doesn’t stop at the camo.
But a very, very, very cool one. I was previously unaware of this awesome half-up-top Scenicruiser but Henrik Hoexbroe seems to have done it perfect justice.
Calin (_Tiler) demonstrates that size is not required to make a sweet ride. The teensy beauty is based on misterzumbi’s ‘rod drawing.
Here’s a video review of the newly released 21102 Minecraft set, the first CUUSOO product to be released outside of Japan. You can get it starting today for $34.99 on Lego Shop at Home.
Summary: the Minecraft set is a decent buy for a collection of small plates and tiles. It is more geared for display with its detailed texture and modular sections. Even though I am not a Minecraft player, I’m believe that Lego has succeeded in turning the game concept into a product (although my initial sentiments still stand).
