About Nannan

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.

Bell ‘Huey’ UH-1

Mike Psiaki‘s revamped Bell ‘Huey’ UH-1 model bears great semblance to its common and reliable real life counterpart. I especially like the details on the rotors, but best of all, Mike has generously donated this model for sale to Creations for Charity, which means you can buy it in November.

Not quite an exploded spaceship

It took me a moment to recognize what this sculpture by Tim Simon represents. I thought it was a spaceship or an explosion at first, but it’s actually a bullet shot through an apple! That’s definitely not something you see done in Lego each day.

Australian movie features Arthur Gugick’s Taj Mahal

Arthur Gugick‘s Taj Mahal model is central prop in an upcoming Australian film called Taj. The movie is about a father rebuilding a broken relationship with his daughter when they decided to make the Taj Mahal out of Lego. You can see a trailer that has brief scenes of the creation on Youtube.

A new look of interior design

You don’t have to be an interior designer to recognize this creative and elegant contemporary bedroom and bathroom built by Littlehaulic, the younger sister of the well-known Legohaulic. The bold contrast of the colors black, white, and pink combined with the polished wooden floor helps give a clean and modern look to the rooms. Details such as the rug, the blinds, and the various small decors make one think they were made by a veteran builder.

But you may be surprised to find out that she just turned 13 today! It sure isn’t easy to associate age and talent with a creation like this. Cheers and happy birthday!

MS GUNDAM, RX-78

It takes at least a second look at GYUTA K.‘s Gundam to appreciate this creation. I personally like the transforming core fighter chest piece, which you can see in the gallery on MOCpages.

Presentation matters to the Merz

You probably know that already, but the creations by the Merz brothers are good reminders. Their latest sci-fi tank is showcased in a convincing manner against a realistic (but not the yard) background. Even the individual photos are stylized.

You Control the Action Bonsai Kit

Keith Goldman‘s You Control the Action Bonsai Kit is a package of Brick Zen fun. It is designed for you to “control the action” and change the appearance of the setup to suit your mood or whim (it even comes with minifigs!). Best of all, you can buy this creation starting November as part of Creations for Charity 2010!

On that note, Creations for Charity 2010 has already received three four MOCs within three days of the announcement. The others include Jordan Schwartz’s Harry Potter mosaic, Mark W’s Night at the Museum vignette, and Pascal Schmidt’s Gun Box.

All out action

Ryan H. (L.D.M.) shows us action in his latest and largest creation called Neotron Base. The black and white factions go all out in this battle with guns, sludge, and even an extending, grasping, hand, thingy.

Announcing Creations for Charity 2010!

Creations for Charity 2010 is here! This is an annual fundraiser where builders donate MOCs to sell and raise money to buy Lego for underprivileged children. This is probably the only occasion where buyers can own the original Lego creations by diverse and talented builders (while funding a good cause too!). Last year we sold 30 creations ranging from custom minifigures to spaceships. We donated almost $3,000 worth of Lego to Toys for Tots!

Starting now, you can contact me for MOC contributions through December 1st. Please check out the full details here. We’re planning to set a new record this year and I hope to see many of you take part in the success of Creations for Charity 2010!

You can read more about Toys for Tots on their website.

The Lost Castle

This marvelous creation by zgreenz on Brickshelf has too many rich details and techniques to pass up. There’s so many strokes of genius in such a concentrated space. The bridge and windows are two of my favorites.

Thanks for the tip Tyler!
