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.

Herbie Rides Again!

Herbie is one of my favorite “movie” cars. Tyler did a perfect job…with the added bonus of PowerFunctions! Lovely, lovely build.

Lego Herbie PowerFunctions Lugnuts Challenge

This was built for Lugnuts 30th Challenge, which is inspiring some awesome cars, if you ask me….which of course you didn’t.

Mont St. Michel

Arthur Gugick is a genius, this is a well established fact. His latest creation, a recreation of Mont St. Michel, simply reinforces the idea.

Let’s visit the Village.

As I prepared to move back to our regular programming, this gorgeous layout by Lugpol member Ciamosław Ciamek caught my eye. Built around a couple of expanded Medieval Market Village buildings, this layout has it all.

Check out all the pics for some really nice details.

The best of nnenn: Verbotian Strider

It is one of my personal pet peeves when a builder becomes famous for one thing and never does anything different. Nnenn was very well-known for his starfighters and was often accused of never branching out. However, in his case, this accusation was unfair and untrue.

If you browse through his Flickr photostream or his Brickshelf gallery, it becomes very clear that he built many other things than his iconic starfighters. This particular one has always made me laugh. I love the whimsy.

The Best of Nnenn: Weapons of a bygone era.

Naturally no one can argue that Nnenn is best known for his incredible fighters and starships. However, he did dabble in other genres as well. A friend reminded me today of this intricate set of medieval weapons.

Reach for the Sky!

Yosemite Sam rocks. Do I really need to say anymore? Annie Diment hit one out of the park with this build. Sweet, I say, sweet.

Its all about the Tan

This speeder by Cole Blaq is a very nice build. But somehow the monochromatic color choice really makes it pop. I’m loving the tan.

Some old men are cute...

…but many are not. Luckily this happens to be one of the former. This odd little thing was built by the builder known only as Retinence. He obviously has a knack for building the unusual. But enough talk. Without further ado, I give you Old Man Williker!

The Man, in Living Color. [April Fool’s!]

The Living Brick, that sage site of salacious scuttlebutt, has landed the most important interview in the history of the blogosphere. He actually nailed down the Man behind the Curtain. Heck, I’m friends with the guy and I can hardly ever find him. So check it out, while you still can.

Legohaulic brings death from above

Tyler does it again. This flying terror is a thing of beauty and joy forever. It’s one of those rare creations that I actually want to build myself….

Not your average Tom, Dick, and Harry

I was a major GI Joe fan, back in the day, and I have to admit that the Dreadnoks were some of my favorite characters. These three guys, Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch, were the original three. I think that’s why Angus MacLane’s CubeDude renditions warm the cockles of my heart.

The Monster will kill us All!

Matt Armstrong takes on the world with this brick-built explosive device. It’s truly da bomb. It blows me away. Okay….I’ll stop now.
