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.

Terror of Walrus Island!

Mark Larson has instilled mass amounts of fear and trembling in me with his latest creation. The Terror and Suspense is just too much…I need to go lie down now.

(Josh is going to have nightmares about the dreaded “Walrus Wedgie”)

Polyhedrons Galore!

Polegon has gone all geometrical. These polyhedrons are sweet!

Thanks to Fred for the heads up!

Focke-Wulf fw190 a-4

The sky’s the limit with KV Draugaer’s Focke-Wulf. Its quite a faithful reproduction and looks really swooshable too! I want to grab it and go running around the house making engine noises…

The Spirit Wagon is coming for you!

Brent built this snazzy, yet spooky spirit wagon. It has a mission…to keep all of those nasty, flesh-covered people out of town.

Thanks to Jamie for the heads up!

I need one of these...

This Fennek by Cole Blaq is da bomb! Well, it’s really a Light Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle, but you know what I mean. That camo job is pretty nifty too. Very nice job of recreating this burly vehicle!

LEGO Castle Adventure exhibit headed to Arizona Science Center [News]

The Indianapolis Children’s Museum, working with Lego, has put together an incredible traveling exhibit, designed to educate children (and adults!) on the intricacies of Medieval Castle building and medieval life. Among the many activities are “jousting”, building castle walls, dressing up in medieval costumes, and firing a catapult.

It has already been booked for the next five years! The exhibit has left Indianapolis, but is on its way to the Arizona Science Center.

You can check out the schedule and see if its coming to a city near you!

Check out these pics by Blackbear88 in order to see the actual exhibit.

The way to a pirate’s heart is through his parrot

Rod Gillies proves that old adage true, with this comical scene.

Of course, those soldiers are planning to give the old captain a real bad case of heartbreak…but, hey, they’re soldiers!

Sniezka Mountain Observatory

Hippotam has built this snazzy rendition of the famous Polish observatory.

Also, it’s built with only 100 pieces….

The Classic Castle Battles Contest has begun!

Every year, I host a Medieval Battles Contest at Classic Castle Forums and now is the time!

So get out there and build the biggest, baddest battle you can!

There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places….so you have a pretty good chance. Get cracking!

(The picture is of the winning battle scene from the first year of the contest…Jens was the builder)

Sariel goes on a Crusade

This incredible half-track hotrod by Sariel is something else! Its called “The Crusader”.

Thanks to Aaron Sneary for the head up!

Schranz achieves orbit

Alex Schranz blasts off with an incredible build of the Space Shuttle Discovery.

EDIT (Andrew): I’m compelled by sheer awesomeness to add Alex’s fire engine.

The water cannon on the top is excellent, and the eight-wide scale allows Alex to give this truck a nice sense of weight.

PrimalBots are all growed up!

Rong Yiren has taken his iconic PrimalBots to the next level. Bigger, badder, and as Rong says, “more predator than prey”…this new bot is ready to kick it!
