About Nannan

Nannan became involved with the online LEGO community in late 2004. He has been a builder for as long as he can remember. Nannan builds in a variety of themes that often overlap with the science fiction universe; other times they are purely made up ones. You can see his creations on Flickr, MOCpages and Brickshelf.

Where evils flood and the falls run blood

Innocently disguised by the name Hill House, this demonic diorama by einsteinonthebeach is a work that would delight any Satanic cultist or others simply looking for a cool creation. Don’t miss out on the gory details such as the guillotine, the pentagram sacrificial altar, and the nice and warm blood bath.

Get your flesh at the Monster Bar

If LEGO released Monster Bar instead of the upcoming Fire Brigade, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it. But I don’t think the company would endorse cannibalism unlike Haung (rack911), the builder of this model. Take a look at the gallery to see what I mean.

James May to live in the world’s first LEGO house.

It’s only been a month since Top Gear host James May announced that he’s building the world’s first life-sized LEGO house. Now, two-million bricks later, we see that the house is nearing completion. Would you have pictured a rainbow block in a vineyard? But then again I wasn’t expecting a mansion either. Nevertheless, this is quite a commendable effort and I echo May’s concerns that he won’t wake up in a pile of bricks, which I guess is the only case you wouldn’t want that to happen.

Thanks for the tip Mac!

Heavy Assault Vehicle/wheeled A6 Juggernaut

Sven Junga built the Clone Turbo Tank like I’ve never seen before. Measuring 120 studs, the model is the ground equivalent of a SHIP. The wheel construction stands out the most to simultaneously amaze and baffle. I wish I was this good when I was 15.

Samurai mecha slices off heads with honor

The latest creation from Moko is dressed in samurai mecha armor and wields twin energy katanas. That’s enough to spell awesome, but there are some worthwhile details to note such as the use of tiered tiles and cheese slopes to imitate the jagged samurai armor. And as with pictures involving chrome radar dishes, you get a bonus image of the photographer.

Shark slayer

Not only does Chris Malloy know how to slay a shark, but he also knows how to make a scene out of it. Take the boat for instance: whereas anyone can use the stubborn piece that LEGO has intended for, Chris made his own out of flags and flex tubing while cleverly disguising the broken end of the ship in sea grass. Genius.

It looks like a star to me

This is something you probably don’t see on LEGO spaceships: vines. Check out the Shooting Star by Space2310.

Zombie Apoc 101: how to make a super-cool Post-Apoc vehicle

With BrickCon coming, I’m sure many are interested in creating vehicles for the Zombie Apocalypse display. If you like what we’ve featured in the past, you should check out Jordan Neves‘ article on how to make your own unique and original apocafied vehicle.

By the way, I recommend Jordan’s blog as a supplement to foster a well-rounded knowledge of the LEGO community.

When it comes to alts, less is more.

I’m sure every builder has came across the thought that “I can build anything if I just have a lot of LEGO bricks.” I remember thinking like that and being jealous of all the builders with seemingly unlimited bricks. This summer, I was temporarily parted with my collection, but I still wanted to do some building, so I made some alts. Alternative models are those built with the limited parts from one or a few LEGO sets, and their message is simple: less is more.

Take me out to the ball game

I remember seeing work-in-progress pictures of this model, but I can’t believe it took Sean Kenney three years to make it. I mean, what a slacker, just kidding! What’s more incredible than making a 1:150 scaled model of the real stadium out of more than 45,000 LEGO bricks is the fact that the model was built in part by a gradeschooler. Check out more pictures of this grand accomplishment on MOCpages.
