The Lee Family has been knocking out some pretty fun creations lately. My personal favorites are the Celtic mosaics, but you should check out the portrait of the Dalai Lama as well.
Bruce interviewed Craig Lee recently and has posted part of the conversation on the front page of Classic Castle.
Matija Grguric’s rendition of this Croatian landmark is simply gorgeous. I’m in love with the smoothness and sense of grace in this structure.
….to someone not from here. Da Eart, by Cole Blaq, is freaking me out. I keep looking in the mirror to see if this really what earthlings look like. I think I’m getting there.
This section of town, by ericblacky, has buildings with a certain feel to them that I can’t describe. He says they are still a Work in Progress, but I felt I had to blog these. They are quite striking.
Erik Smit shows how its done with this whimsical redeux of Gold Tooth’s Getaway.
By the way, I really like the idea of this sort of challenge, specifically rebuilding a set in whatever fashion each builder prefers. I hope that more groups give this kind of thing a try.
Now in its seventh year, the massive multi-category contest, run annually by Classic-Castle has gone live.
Categories include Technological Advances, Alternate Sets, Medieval Mariner, Outlaw Escape, Eastern Medieval Life, Religous Life, Knight’s Training, Custom Castle Figure, Brick Castles, Fantasy Castles and Misc. The prizes are quite impressive, including vintage Castle sets, new sets, older MISB set, custom accessories and more. So get out there and get medieval!
Sebastiaan Arts was listening to that album while he built he latest creation, so he named it appropriately. I love the two-tiered effect that he has going on here and its packed with the detail that we’ve come to expect from Sebastiaan. Check out all his pics and escape from your Monday (or Saturday…or whatever day it is on the planet you are on). I wanted to escape once….
This shrine, by gtahelper, is top notch. It’s packed with all sorts of incredible details, including the first Shishi odoshi that I’ve seen. Make sure you check out the video too, the fish are very cool.
Thanks to Bruce for pointing this out to me in Classic-Castle’s chat room last night.
Yup, you read that right…Lego reality shows. According to Variety, LEGO is partnering with Scott Messick to develop several different ideas.
Reality producer Scott Messick has partnered with the Lego Group to develop nonscripted programming related to the toy building-block franchise.
Messick said he’s developing several different types of reality shows related to the brand – including docuseries, competition shows and kid-oriented gamers.
“Lego seemed like such a powerful brand, and I don’t think they were thinking about reality TV,” said Messick, who is exec producer of Cartoon Network’s “Destroy Build Destroy.”
Read the full-length article for more information. I’m withholding judgment until I actually see these. The docu-series, based on the travels of some of the Master Builders, sounds interesting. Not to sure about the game shows and such. What are your thoughts about this?
Rocko has finished his ginormous AT-AT Imperial Walker and its bigger and badder than any AT-AT ever built. It’s definitely menacing. The thing is tall enough to scare me.
Andrew, Thanel, Caylin, Dan, and myself are all heading to BrickCon. Therefore, you probably won’t hear us much over the next couple of days, other than brief updates.
Have fun and we will be thinking of you!
