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.

One grand Teuton

This mecha is quite impressive. I am not usually in favor of rebuilds but this one by Lord Dane is the bee’s knees. This one has quite the intimidating aura going on.

LEGO Serenity from Firefly series

tbone_tbl just finished this rendition of the iconic ship “Serenity” from Firefly and it’s gorgeous! I love that show. Joss Whedon is my master.

Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

Dylan Denton made this. It’s awesome and red. I will only distract you from looking at the picture so I’ll be quiet now.

They’re eating the guests, sir.

George Panteleon’s piranhas may not actually be eating the guests but they look like they are capable of it. There is a lot to love in this viciously fishy build. This is one of those creations that makes me want to build it myself. I think I need some hanging about my desk to keep pesky co-workers away.

Karwik hits the road

Karwik’s chopper is a little beauty. It embodies the main element of a good build: Simplicity. It has clever parts use but doesn’t overdo it. All too often builders keep tacking bits onto a build and don’t know when to stop. Karwik does and it shows.

It isn’t only Humans who need hardsuits

Victor Martinez N. gives the hardsuit concept a twist and outfits his Martians in protective outer body enhancements.

UPDATE: Victor has posted a video showing how the jackhammer mechanism on the miner suit actually works:

LEGO Micro-Chess

I’m a sucker for LEGO chess sets. I’ve built several myself and once you get going, it is hard to stop. This miniature set, by Matt Armstrong has a deceptively simple quality to it. The pieces are all made from the micro trophy figure, from the Collectible Minifigure series, and at first glace are nearly indistinguishable from one another. However, the bases of the chess pieces are just different enough that one can tell the various pieces apart at a glance. Now I want to go make some more chess sets…

The Fuel of the Future

Thomas Oechsner supplies his Neo-Classic Space fleet with an Octan fuel truck. The contrast between the greebly esthetic of Neo-Classic Space and the smooth fuel tank gives this build quite the look!

Sometimes you are the vulture...

…sometimes you are the cow. This beautiful desert scene, by Henrik Hoexbroe is very tranquil and I love that vulture.

They can’t fly, you know

Iain Heath posted these last week and I forgot to post them. I apologize, so you can stop calling me in the middle of the night now, Iain. Really, I mean it.

Not all giant robots play with guns

Douglas Adams once said that most sensible citizens of the galaxy find cricket to be in rather bad taste. But that’s earthlings for you. Not one to leave well-enough alone, Mark Stafford takes the game to a new level by adding giant robotic suits to the mix. I wish the PCA would get behind this idea. I’d actually watch the game then.

I have the power of the world in my belly

Todd Burke has some strange ideas, like a civilization of walking batteries. I’m not sure I want to know how he thought of that. Regardless, the belly-powered creature is rather unique, so you should check it out. Just don’t rub its tummy.
