About Gambort

I'm a builder with a short attention span and a lot of virtual bricks. I'm probably most known as a train builder and was involved in the creation of LEGO set 10183 but I do a lot of other stuff too. I'm also a member of the LDraw SteerCo and a webmaster for the site.

Saviour of the universe

Al McLarens rockets

Allister McLaren (Captain_underpants) takes us to the moon and back with this superb collection of rocketships. I love rocketships.

He’s also just added a bunch of BLBDC pics from our local LUG’s collaborative build session. Call me biased but I reckon our minimally planned town square looks pretty excellent.

World Record attempt in Perth

Perth Bridge

We know that Perth is a little far away from just about all of us but for the few readers living in the great West we have a treat from the Perth Adult LEGO Society. Please head along if you’re in the region.

World Record Lego Bridge Attempt

The Perth Adult Lego Society (PALS) will have a Lego train display running at the 2009 Australian Model Railway Expo at the Claremont Showgrounds, Perth, Western Australia. The show runs from Saturday 30th May to Monday 1st June.

Part of the display will be a 14m long self-supporting Lego bridge. Come along and see if it will support itself and hopefully set a world record!

See a sneak preview of the bridge (and the layout) here: http://sites.google.com/site/perthlego/2009-layout/the-bridge

Chk’ chk’ Boom

Dr. X shows us how zombie-apoc is done with these excellent vehicles. They look like contemporary vehicles, but with stuff tacked on. That is good.

Lovesong for Jupiter

Kevin Blocksidges LEGO Jupiter 8

Kevin Blocksidge (Kevoh) has defied implausibility and come up with a starship that could potentially work and exist. The centrifuged areas are a fantastic touch.

Civil War

Orion Pax LEGO Warpath transformer

Warpath would have been blogged just because it transforms with splitting track. The fact that Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) has made a beautiful model is the icing, cherry and other delicious foodstuffs on the cake.

Render farm

Rendered stable by aellaron

Very few people render castle models and even fewer do it well. Aellaron is a rare and exciting exception. He even manages to put good minifig life in his scenes which is, from my experience, quite difficult.

NBW (Neo-bandwagon)

LEGO NBT Scarab

Jesus, Tim, do you have some sort of contractual obligation to jump on every bandwagon that comes down the pike?

Presentation is pertinent

Soren Roberts Fire mecha

It’s been a while since Soren Roberts has posted anything new but he’s been letting the pictures flow this past week. While not my favourite of his new stuff this firefighting mecha has great presentation.

Three letters lots of times

LEGO mecha by Squieu

I’m a massive fan of Squieu’s mecha and he’s just posted a heap of new stuff including the above-pictured ‘krw’. I can never get enough of his stuff.

Red doesn’t always mean stop

LEGO Red Light District

74louloute enacts all sorts of mayhem on some Wild West minifigs in this fantastic Red Light District diorama. Please zoom in and check out all the details. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

And in his words (slightly edited)

Formerly, the sherrif used to be the guarantor of the security and the peace in the city. Unfortunately, now he is totally outstripped… All he can do is watch the mess spread the city directed by women…

The steepest inclines

Dandens LEGO cog rail

Making good use of the LEGO Power Functions System Danden has made an attractive and working cog railway. He even shows us how to do it.

Thanks again to Matt Hamann for the tip.

The locomotion

Carl Greatrixs LEGO loco

Unlike most pics we blog here the bulk of this isn’t LEGO. But the rear train is Carl Greatrix’s 9F loco on Pete Waterman’s (of Kylie Minogue fame) model train layout. I think it’s great to see just how well LEGO can stand against ‘real’ models.
