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.

The Prismatic Shadow

Alex Fojtik uses a rainbow of color accents on a black mecha frame to create one of the most unique mechas I’ve seen. He further added the chromatic stickers from the Mars Mission sets for a great effect.

Daniel Z plans a castle evolution

Daniel Z has planted the first creation in what’s to become an evolution of castle. This wooden castle will eventually evolve into a much larger stone castle through several stages. I look forward to seeing the subsequent additions.

Prepare for the sacrifice

Welcome to the Temple of Roxolotyl, by Rocko of course. This fresh take on an ancient civilizaiton rarely depicted in LEGO really contrasts well with the other castle creations in Rocko’s repertoire. Note the well planned brick pattern on the steps and the unattended fire in the backyard.

The LEGO Computer

This LEGO computer by monkidesign really works! Disguised as a city building, this creation contains all the functional components of a computer, including a working disk drive.

Check out this recent Youtube video showing how it works:

More Power Miners variations

The Power Miners line has inspired several fan creations based on the theme. These two recent ones by SolarRed and Jarek (Jerrec) are noteworthy for their accurate adherence to the theme while adding the dash of details as expected from adult fan builders.

The lovely Queen of Hearts Castle

This majestic castle by Edward C (Reejoc) isn’t any ordinary fortification; it’s home to the Queen of Hearts and her loyal guards. To get to the castle, you must find your way through the thorned hedge maze, which is the first of its kind done in LEGO.

Some other cool features include the floating rock garden, the watchtower, and an intricate throne room. The inspiration for this creation was drawn from, as you guessed it, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Cerberus Shock Battle Tank

Brad Edmondson’s (Tristarian Arms) futuristic hover tank is “a labor of love” – a project that had its inspirational roots from many years back during the builder’s teenage years. Check out the backstory on MOCpages and see how Brad has poured his soul into this fine creation. There is also a Youtube video showing detail shots of the model.

Fully functional Beauty and the Beast LEGO music box

It’s not uncommon for us to use trite phrases in the title of our posts, but this time we mean it literally. Check out this microsized vignette by edulyoung from the ballroom scene of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The vignette also functions as a real-working music box, in which components from an actual music box where modified to fit with LEGO parts. Check out how it all works in the gallery on Brickshelf.

UPDATE: Joel over at BB Gadgets created an embeddable version of Edul’s video, which is absolutely gorgeous:

The Medieval astronaut

Apparently astronauts did exist many hundreds of years ago. Crises shows us that it doesn’t take rocket science to launch an enthusiastic natural investigator high into space.
