About Josh

Josh is 30+ years old and has more Lego than he has hair. Which really isn't saying much. He builds mostly medieval creations, but dabbles in other genres. He is also a father and uses his kids as an excuse to buy Lego. That justification isn't working as well as it used to, so if you can think of a better justification, feel free to contact him. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Josh's Brickshelf gallery gets messier and messier. Josh also has a Flickr gallery, if you care about such things. He goes by the name "floodllama" there. If you wonder why he goes by "floodllama", you've obviously never owned a llama in flood. Josh feels sorry for you.

Wasp Warriors

Sean and Steph Mayo tap into the hive mind and summon these stunning creatures. Look but don’t touch. They don’t look happy.

Maschinen Krieger “Neuntöter”

Greebly and bulbous. I think that accurately describes this ship by Robert H. But that gives you no concept of how striking this ship really is. Check it out. It’s cool.

Midnight Dragon

This beast was built Jacob Unterreiner and has a very striking and menacing feel to it. I love the color scheme, as I’m an old school Blacktron fan, but this whole build just screams evil.

Necrophobic

I bet you thought that Cole Blaq built this, huh? He didn’t…which means the trend is spreading. That’s fine by me as long as the bricks turn out as cool as this one. Ken Robichaud is the actual builder of this creepy coffin brick.

Mr. Bean’s LEGO Mini

Adam Grabowski goes for a drive with an icon in this Mini. We will forgive him for painting one piece, since it turned out so well. Now he needs to build Teddy.

The cavalry is coming

Apparently this cruiser by Vince Toulouse has been around for awhile, but I missed it and it has some rather cool components. The overall shape is one that we don’t see a lot, using pieces that almost everyone refuses to touch…the giant floor pieces from the old Sports sets. But they look really good here. Also I really like the cavalry flag on the side. Very nice touch.

Hackfish by Stafford

Mark Stafford took a break from his real job and posted this lovely gem of a space ship.

Blow the man down

Ricardo Silva summons up a storm in this whimsical scene. The fig posing in this great and the use of white dinosaur tails is perfect. Also I absolutely love the expression on the cloud.

Sparrows

These sparrows by Schfio are extremely well built. At first glance they look real. It blows me away when a builder can capture such a great look in something so small.

Many thanks to Bruce for the heads up!

QWERTY

Matt Armstrong crosses another great build off his list with this typewriter.

Hurricane Irene

Built as an entry in the “Wind” theme for the MOCOlympics, this scene by Blake Baer is very sobering. What really struck me was the realism of the scene and power inherent in nature. The waves, the power pole through the house and the foliage on the trees really give this a sense of the power of the hurricane.

Eladi Undersea Research Facility

John and Dave Xandegar go under water with their most recent build. You don’t see a lot of undersea creations and I really like how this facility looks being built into the cliff wall. I’m also really digging those mysterious eyes looking out of the cave…
