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.

One bug-eyed Ninja, coming up!

Monkfish44 is training insectoid, bug-eyed creatures in the way of the ninja. Doesn’t seem to wise, if you ask me. Those things have a way of turning on you.

Mad Scientist on Parade

This spindly-legged walker, by demdike, screams out the evilness of its owner. I’m loving the plethora of automated minions too. Hopefully the builder enters this in the BrickScience contest!

Steven’s Folly

Steven Marshall has posted a really nice ruined keep, which he calls “Folly”. Building a good ruin is harder than it appears. But this builder has done a seamless job of combining the ruin with the landscaping. The fact that he uses technic liftarms for the walls is an added bonus.

Desert + Hideout + Guns = Apocalypse!

This arid desert hideout by CrimsonWolf is full of highly detailed goodness. I’m definitely going to have to steal that spiky plant idea.

It isn’t always “Happily ever after”

Nolnet shows us that life often has unexpected consequences. Kissing a frog never seemed like a good thing to me anyway.

Best use of a SpongeBob fig I’ve seen yet.

Andrew Lee breaks the Rules

Or does he? Andrew takes the current Nascar fad and turns it on its head. This makes it a lot more interesting in my book…

Thanks to Curtis for getting our rear in gear on this one.

Doing the Apocalypse on a Mono-Wheel

Award-Winning Butterfly

BisonFuehrer recently posted this award-winning creation. Though built back in ’97, it still has the ability to impress.

Geekdad wants you! [News]

We have recently been contacted by John Baichtal of the Geekdad blog, on Wired. He is writing a book on our extremely addictive hobby and he wants you in it! Why you? Because you are charming, pretty, and you collect Lego.

He wants to profile as many adult builders as possible. While not everyone will make it into the book, he is planning on including a bunch of you crazy people. The more interesting the better, he said. And I know you folks are interesting. I’ve hung out with you at Cons, in chat rooms, and in forums. “Interesting” may be putting it mildly.

Anyway, are you in? If so, send the following info to John (brickbook@yahoo.com):

1) Headshot

2) Your name as you would like it to appear, your location and your age.

3) Answer as many of the following questions as you’d like:

What are you building?

Favorite set?

Favorite brick color?

Favorite genre?

What music do you listen to when building?

When’s your best building time?

If I left off a question you’re dying to answer, feel free to include it.

So there you are! Its your chance at those coveted 15 minutes of fame. Get cracking!
