Mysterious viruses and radiation exposure aren’t the only ways to start a zombie outbreak. Muffinmanifestation suggests that what we’re pouring into our lakes and streams might have a little something to do with the coming zombie onslaught.
With the outbreak underway, the soldiers who discovered Ground Zero try to make it back to base.
This steampunk airship by Daniel García (Evo) may have the most unique shape I’ve seen in quite a while.
As cool as the airships that look like, well, ships are, there’s nothing to say that they have to look like ocean-going vessels with propellors or balloons tacked on. With underslung cannons and a prow that goes on forever, Heracles looks like it was designed to ply the clouds (nice touch, by the way) of an unrealized steampunk past.
There’s not much in the way of post titles that can top the unique name Kaye gave his latest, even stranger mecha.
The head is just plain weird (which isn’t a bad thing), and all the horns give this demonic mecha quite an organic feel.
Thanel had cats growing up. I had dogs. To counteract his most recent cat-centric post, I give you Pugsly, with random LEGO animals on his head.
Balance has now been restored to the blog. All is well in the LEGO world.
Until a certain decreasingly juvenile wizard graces theaters next Wednesday, the 150-minute chase sequence, errr, Michael Bay extravaganza known as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen remains the #1 movie in America.
My irrelevant movie critique aside, John Ho (IcedPlusCoffee) brings us a pair of rather cool cool-looking characters from the film.
No, they don’t actually transform, but the angled slopes John used in the torsos on both Skids (green) and Mudflap (orange) are really nice.
I’m new to the LEGO street scenes of L.G. Orlando (lgorlando), and boy have I been missing out!
The detail at the top of each is stunning. Though both buildings are distinct from each other in color and design, the tan in the red and green building ties in nicely with the other.
Here’s another group of L.G.’s LEGO city buildings. The yellow one is especially beautiful, and might be at home on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
See more photos of L.G. Orlando’s excellent buildings on Flickr and MOCpages.
Okay, it seems a little crass to hype the Zombie Apocafest alongside these beauties, but these are all Cafe Corner standard buildings, and exactly the type of structures we’re looking for in the group display.
I only recently encountered the LEGO big rig creations of Bricksonwheels (also on MOCpages) when this beauty showed up on Flickr.
At this scale, Bricksonwheels packs in an incredible amount of detail. I particularly like the hood.
Danny Rice (Big X) has built one of the adorable playable characters from the Xbox Live Arcade game Castle Crashers. The eyes on Danny’s Red Knight are excellent.
Speaking of branching out, Cameron (Primus) temporarily set aside his Bionicle to build this great robot from Technic gears.
Apparently Cameron was challenged to build something “non-spindly.” Otto turned out rather formidable indeed.
Speaking of color, we’ve come to expect a certain chromatic consistency from Rong Yiren. Though his animal-shaped mecha are certainly gorgeous, it’s always nice to see a builder branch out.
In this scene depicting stormtroopers off to work after the end of the Evil Empire, I particularly like R2-D2 wearing a tie.
See more of Rong’s latest creations in his photostream on Flickr.
The year: 1953. The US and Soviet space programs are in full swing, and a war rages for control of earth’s only natural satellite, the moon. Shannon Ocean has the full story.
See many, many more awesome Battle for the Moon creations by Shannon on MOCpages.
I recently finished reading Arthur C. Clarke’s very early Islands in the Sky (published in 1952), full of both prescient hits and blind misses.
Catarino has perfectly captured in microscale LEGO the look of retro-future space stations I imagined as I read Clarke’s science fiction.
