Drew blames his girlfriend for this one. Here’s hoping that she makes him build more cool stuff. Listen to her, Drew, do what she says!
The expression on this mole’s face is adorable. His battle armor makes you wish you never mentioned the word “adorable” anywhere near him….
Kevin Fedde has built himself some awesome roadsters. Makes me want to hop in one and go for a cruise. The classic lines are beautiful. The gangster owners are not. But don’t tell them I said that, okay? I have enough problems without mini gangsters gunning for me.
This shapely pool, by Katie Walker, is incredibly elegant. I would love to have that built for real, in full scale. This builder, though new on the LEGO scene, is definitely showing us how it’s done, eh?
These adorable little canines by Moritz are too cute for words. From now on, whenever I see these pieces actually used as fenders, I’ll wonder why they crammed doggie heads in there….
The builder gives proper credit to Teik Joon for using a fender as an animal head.
This friendly-looking zombie loves you. Naturally he loves you for your brains…but that’s what they all say.
jdarlack serves up a special serving with this little “tablescrap”. Brilliant use of the pig there. This is one of those creations that get me wondering “Why didn’t I think of that?”.
Lino went nuts with his most recent build, so we get two for the price of one. I love the black rendition of the Lego Red Baron, but the matching T-bucket takes the cake.
The Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi looks impressive and a fine work of architecture that would be based on something a real landmark, but little would you guess that  Tony Sava‘s amazing LEGO cathedral is actually fictional, based on St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City and Chartres Cathedral in France.
If one is not impressed enough, what you see on the outside walls simply scratches the surface of what’s inside. Tony designed and built a nave to fit a full congregation for a proper wedding ceremony or weekly mass.
Built intricately with stained-glass windows that are perfect for ambient lighting to flow through, it embraces the very same atmosphere of stepping into an embodiment of a holy sanctuary.
The cathedral is full of detailing that will make your eyes wander in awe, such as a piped organ to fill the halls with heavenly music.
A red-carpeted aisle and a pulpit and accessories like the floor candle holders add to the detailing.
Building with such details is not without its toil. From concept to completion took about 5 months with serious architectural and blueprint planning with layouts and dimensions.
The finished work and time spent is definitely an architectural piece to appreciate and be in awe of.
Many of you may remember when we posted the job opening at Traveller’s Tales, back in February of 2009. The results of that job search were discussed in our interview with Carl Greatrix.
However, another very cool result of that process was that TT Games recently sent us these two bricks as a “thank you” gift.
They are very awesome. According to TT Games, these two launch bricks are the only ones in the public domain. You will also be happy to learn that the bricks came with one stipulation. They have to be given away. To honor their request, we will be donating them as prizes in some future event. It hasn’t been decided what or when that will be, but it will be something special, as these are incredibly unusual pieces.
In this video by Chris Salt, the Power Miners do not shine in their attitudes towards the women in their midst. However, the animation is smooth, the jerk gets what’s coming to him, and there are singing rock monsters. What more could you ask for?
These are two sets that I made for Classic Castle’s Chess Challenge, which ends tonight. I had a lot of fun with these. I’ve never made two matching creations in different scales before.
I’m hooked on Chess sets now. I think I’m going to do some more…
Stefan has built what is quite possibly the best Battlestar Galactica Viper I’ve ever seen. I realize that I’m risking life and limb by saying that, but I’m willing to take that risk. Ryan can beat me up at Brickcon if he wants to.
I want one so I can run up and down the hallway swooshing it around. Bea-ut-i-ful.
