Dave Shaddix likes to work to his own rulebook. In this case his rulebook told him to make three Kachinas: Angwusnasomtaka, Talavai and Palavitkuna. I love studs sideways sculpting.
For those wondering Dave has been kind enough to add a picture showing how it’s done.
Aaron Amatnieks (akama1_lego) had a lot of transparent LEGO, a water pump and some light bricks lying around. This is the strangely mesmerising result. I particularly love ‘ice’ but they both look great animated.
One of the advantages of cover version LEGO is that it allows us to blog older models with fresh pictures. Aaron Dayman recently posted his variants on Adam Grabowski’s (misterzumbi) motorbike from the 1988 film Akira. Adam’s version is many years old as are my instructions for it (much older than the 1×1 brick with stud on side).
And it’s entirely possible this was blogged when it was new but that’s a long, long time ago.
I’ve got a real soft spot for realistic town dioramas and this LEGO version of a Norwegian city center has realism in spades. Built by members of Brikkelauget it’s had pride of place in the window of Riktige Leker toy shop in Oslo. The walls of the metro are a particular highlight for me. If I were a minifig I’d be pretty happy to live there.
Geoff Herndon (Tekka Croe) takes us to the near future with these wonderful space exploration vehicles from the year 2020. He “think(s) (he) managed to achieve a pretty realistic feel” and I certainly agree with that sentiment.
Below is a guest article by Peer Kreuger (mahjqa). We asked Peer if he’d be willing to share his Technic expertise and do some guest articles for TBB. Hopefully there will be more to come.
Some people build trucks. Ingmar Spijkhoven (2LegoOrNot2Lego) builds mechanical masterpieces that don’t just work, the look great doing so as well.
Some of the functions: the truck is driveable, has suspension on all axles, liftable second axle, fully functional fifth wheel, a winch, and the trailer can split in two so vehicles can drive on and off.
Oh yeah. It’s all remotely controlled.
He has jammed everything so full of functionality that he needed separate pages for the truck, the trailer, and that doesn’t even include the wonderful excavator on the back.
Better late than never. Nate Brill (Shuppiluliumas) and PennLUG debuted this wonderful container ship and port at BrickFair2010. RAILBRICKS have already written at great length about it so I’ll spare the details here but I will add that I’m a huge fan of the old rundown port next to the much more modern one. Lovely!
The Hog’s Head is a cute tudor house from Harry Potter but one that would look equally excellent on a castle layout. _Matn has many other lovely Harry Potter creations with inspiration for town and castle fans alike.
It’s no secret I love pre-WWI cars so Peter Blackert (lego911) was always going to please me with this one. But his pleasing went beyond what it could have been due to his excellent modelling. A fabulous demonstration of what can be done at this larger than minifig scale.
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged anything I’ve made but I’m fond enough of this one to put it up. Because if you’re around my age Neo Space Police I makes more sense than Neo Classic Space.
Many, many, many thanks to Pete Reid for this. It wouldn’t exist were it not for him.
Just a quick reminder that Canberra Brick Expo is on this upcoming Sunday (8th Aug). They have a promo video too.
