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.

Success!

Harrison, aka “Corran101”, recently posted a sweet vignette, depicting Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay as they reach the summit of Mt. Everest. This deceptively simple scene is packed with details. The figs are pretty awesome, but that rope makes this perfect.

Had enough Primal Screaming? Try Primal Bots!

Rong Yiren is working on a nifty series of nomadic, tribal bots. Never one to pass up on a good battle scene, I fell in love with these vicious little brutes.

Surf’s Up in Lino Land!

Lino Martins, the Lord of Lugnuts and Master of Motor Vehicles, strikes again. Dubbed “Solar Flare”, his 1960 Impala station wagon is ready for a day of surfin’ and a night of cruisin’.

The time has come, the Walrus said, to vote on many things

Well, this is the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Its time to actually vote on who will possibly represent The Brothers Brick readership community as a LEGO Ambassador. So come out of your dens, caves, lairs, or cubbyholes and vote! Reserve those future complaining rights and vote now! Because if you don’t vote now, you can’t complain later. :)

Remember, any given community group can nominate up to three people, so we’ve set up the poll so you can vote for up to three people. We will be sending the names of the top three to LEGO, along with the number of votes that each one got.

UPDATE (5/24/08): Voting is now closed. I’m replacing the poll with a screen shot of the results.

Make sure LEGO hears your voice. Stand up and be counted!

Of course, this isn’t the only nomination and voting process going on in the broader LEGO fan community. Make sure you participate in the nomination/voting process in other communities you also belong to:

Industrial Catastrophe!

What is it about minifig mayhem that we love so much? I don’t know either, but Juliusz recently posted a nicely detailed “Heating Plant”, complete with a workplace injury!

I love swooshablility!

Nnenn has posted yet another awesome spacey-thang.

If I owned this, I would be running up and down the hallway with it, making swooshing noises…

Nnenn’s own description:
“This is the custom UGT with duo-core suspenders, extended foil, guide accelerators, and two reverse negagravs that Ioz Petrisusha entered into the Hadis Games under the name Danielle. Spoiled rich kid didnt even need a single sponser.”

Classic Creations: Henry Lim’s Stegosaurus

I’ve been looking at some of the older creations that inspired me when I first discovered the online Lego community and I realized that many people may not have seen these. We never featured them here on The Brothers Brick for the simple reason that the blog didn’t exist then. So, from time to time, I am going to highlight some the classic creations of years gone by.

First up is a Stegosaurus by Henry Lim. Selected to be a Lugnet Cool Site of the Week in November of 2000, this Stegosaurus still has the ability to amaze.
