Reclaimed by nature
Several months after posting his house in the snow, Mike Doyle completed his second masterpiece: an abandoned Victorian house. I am once again blown away by the stark realism and beautiful deterioration conveyed by more than 50,000 well-arranged bricks. Check out more pictures and the builder’s thoughts on Mike’s blog.
Nathaniel Shields’s Halo grunt
We’ve featured two Lego Halo grunts in the past, but this one by Nathaniel Shields is perhaps the most accurate. The builder makes great use of Bionicle parts as well as a few System bricks for intricate small details.
“Calamity Jane” Privateer Gunship
Mike Yoder recently completed this beautiful gunship called the Calamity Jane. The name is not a new one, as Mike has built the first version of the ship in 2008. The new version is significantly larger and has more prominent color blocking including a black thruster section, yellow container modules, and an intriguing dark red stripe.
Registration for Brickworld 2011 now open [News]
Registration is now open for Brickworld 2011! As usual, Brickworld will take place in the third weekend of June in Chicago. It is a four and a half day event featuring a private convention and public expo at the Westin Chicago North Shore. Because of the continuous swelling of participants and visitors each year, Brickworld will now start on Wednesday night, making it one of the most-attended and longest and Lego conventions all around.
The metaphor I use to describe Brickworld is a powerhouse. It’s a very dynamic convention with so much to take in at once. With four display rooms, seeing all the creations in detail is between difficult and impossible. Likewise, we’re closing in on 1,000 registered attendees, so there’s always many new people to meet and old friends to catch up with if you’re returning. Meanwhile, don’t forget that you still have until the end of January to design this year’s event kit.
