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.

Back to Basics

Alexander Alekseev just posted this farmer and I was stuck by the simplicity. This scene is just about perfect, so I’ll bow out and I’ll let it speak for itself.

“Buzz Lightyear to StarCommand!”

This giant Buzz goes to infinity and beyond.

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Actually this giant Buzz, by Johnny Tang is very well done. The articulation, ~~the sand-green highlights~~, the square-jawed chin. The green army men are just icing on the cake. Woody doesn’t stand a chance against this space toy!

Edit: I posted this earlier and missed the fact that much of the sand-green and lime green is MegaBloks. There may be other MegaBloks that I have missed as well. What is your opinion of creations that use clone brands? Personally, I feel the accomplishment is cheapened. What are your thoughts?

Let’s go Surfin’ now, Everybody’s learnin’ how...

This sand-packed beach jalopy is far out. Paul Hetherington based it on the cover of the Beach Boys first album, Surfin’ Safari, and he nailed it. While this is a slighty older creation, it is a lovely job and in Miniland scale too!

We live to serve

Is the phrase “Slave Droid” an oxymoron? I don’t know, but I almost used it. Anyway, Patrick Gregory has built one. I love the single wheel concept and I need one of these to clean my house. Right now.

Castle has the Blues

Matthew Hurt just posted this nifty island castle. As it is a response to the Primary Color Challenge, on Classic Castle, it has lots of blue. Surprisingly, that gives it a rather elegant flair. I’m liking it.

Kowe’on Sanctuary

Edit: Apparently the name is “No Ewok” backwards, which makes sense, because there is an Ewok in there. :)

The tree itself is a knockout, but the action and whimsy that surrounds it makes this creation something special. I Scream Clone has it going on.

Mister Clone was nice enough to humor me when I asked for a new overall shot. Thank you!

Crown Royale Infinity Rifle

Our old friends at V&A Steamworks have gone into the small arms business in a big way. If your steampunk army needs a shootie/zappy thing, this is it. 100% Lego too….

High on a Hill

Dillon has hit a home run with his rendition of the Inventor’s house from 9. What a spindly beauty! I would be afraid to move it…

Thanks to Chris Malloy for the heads up.

The Yodeling Cowgirl

Here is one that I missed. TKH did a superb job of capturing the saucy awesomeness that is Jessie.

Thanks to The Living Brick for catching this.

Beautiful Bentley

Jordan Schwartz hits the road in this gorgeous Bentley. Well played, Jordan, well played.

Junk on the High Seas

Never has junk looked so good. Sorry. This Chinese Junk by ArzLan is a thing of beauty and it’s chock full of cool techniques. I’m loving that flag.

Edit: This will be displayed at Brick Adventure 2011 in Hong Kong.

Truckin’ in style

This Peterbilt rig by Bricksonwheels is to die for. While the shiney chrome goodness leaps out at you, the build is phenomonal. Remoted controlled via Power Functions and featuring all sort of fun features, this truck truly rocks.
