lego2000/m20xr has designed a hardsuit reminiscent of Maschinen Krieger, and it’s really rather cool. Here it is with an “optional 75 mm chain gun”:

Lukas is out to get you.
Well, at the very least Lukas has a rather formidable assassin to send after you:
The claws are very cool, and seem to be constructed of Viking horns attached to those ever-useful binoculars. Excellent.
Today is the longest day of my life.
Speaking of builders on a roll, minifig is at it again as well. Here’s Jack Bauer from the TV show “24”:
Nice effect with the focus. We’re four hours into Season 6 now, and the world is a very different place from the one Jack left behind at the end of last season. Wow.
Of Skellies Black and Scary
I love it when Martin Jaspers gets on a roll. Here’s another update to his castle characters, a macabre crew of dark skeletons:
(As always, Martin only uses real, unmodified LEGO parts — even if they’re in unusual colors.)
Blogger Cory Doctorow as a LEGO Minifig
minifig returns to his “minifig blogger” series with Cory Doctorow, an author, journalist, and contributor to the world’s best blog, Boing Boing:
News: PicToBrick mosaic software now available
TBB received a message from LEGO Ambassador Juan Macias yesterday with a link to the Web site of a new LEGO mosaic tool, PicToBrick by Tobias Reichling and Adrian Schütz:
PicToBrick converts digital pictures to a format you can use to create mosaics. For LEGO fans, the software offers several cool features, including color and brick type selection.
To learn more about PicToBrick, read the full LUGNET announcement, or head on over to the English or German version of PicToBrick.de.
Tobias and Adrian are releasing PicToBrick under the Free Software Foundation’s GNU General Public License. In addition to executables that work on Windows, Mac, and Linux, they’re making the source code available. Since they’re releasing PicToBrick as “donation ware,” if you like PicToBrick, be sure to support Tobias and Adrian! :D
Arvo’s Bubble and Bobble
Arvo is another favorite builder of mine. His gallery mainly consists of super-realistic recreations of real-world objects, but his latest creations are inspired by the arcade game Bubble Bobble. I aspire to the level of his photography:
(Thanks to RichardAM for the tip!)
Of Ice Warriors and Vikings and Outlaws
Wow, I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed Martin Jaspers’ castle characters, but we haven’t blogged any of them since last May! It’s nice to see an update from one of my favorite minifig builders.
An Ice Warrior:
Vikings, both black and tan:
A pair of outlaws:
ED-209 from Robocop by Tim Gould
CG LEGO is really growing on me, thanks to Tim Gould. Here’s his latest, ED-209 from the Robocop movies:
MadCat BattleMech by DARKspawn
Brickshelfer DARKspawn may be better known for his many castle creations, but his “MadCat BattleMech” inspired by Battletech and MechWarrior isn’t half bad either:
Nice use of the Catwoman torso for the pilot.
Minifig Monster Madness from Moko
Moko’s in quite the mood lately. In addition to building crazy-weird monster rats (previous post), Moko has been busy building crazy-weird minifig monsters:
Click the image to see the gallery on Brickshelf, with more strange creatures.
Metal Slug 7 Battleship/Tank by cbolego
Looks like this isn’t actually new (based on the hit count in the gallery), but since it’s cool and I haven’t featured it here on The Brothers Brick… Anyway, here’s another strange/cool creation from cbolego inspired by the Metal Slug series of games.
