Luke Watkins’s (– Derfel Cadarn –) latest castle diorama depicts hostile dragon knights storming the houses of the wealthy and demanding payment for peace. As usual, I love the detailed landscape in Luke’s dioramas. This shot below is simply epic, and here’s the overview picture.
Keith Goldman presents the 4th installment of his You Control the Action Contest with revolution as the theme. As usual, build a diorama depicting action and you can win eternal glory (among other prizes). The deadline is January 1st, 2011, so you have plenty of time to plot your rebellion. Viva la revolución!
For the past six years, I’ve been haunted by the words of Soren Roberts that “you’re not a man until you’ve built [a SHIP].” And so, the past month has been a rite of passage for me. For this year’s BrickCon, Tyler Clites and I present our second collaboration: Vexillum and the Iron Maiden. The story goes like this:
A millennium into the future, the Vexillum patrol cruiser receives a distress signal of an outbreak on the prison ship Iron Maiden. Upon investigation, things turned out to be much more than loose criminals on board, at least not the human ones anyway.

Mike Doyle came out of his dark ages only during this summer after a visit to LEGOLAND, and he built this?! I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of realism achieved using predominantly two colors. As the builder notes, this is “more of a textural study,” and a darn fine one too.
You can follow Mike’s current and future projects on his newly created Lego blog. Thanks for the tip El Barto!
Apparently that’s what Mr. Sharkman is selling. This vignette by Harlen (tomi&tree) is whimsically creepy. It’s even more interesting to see his adorable four year old son play with his new toy in this video.
Take a close look at this creation by Alex Eylar and you’ll understand the title.
Clever title by Dablackcat
I want to shop at this department store by t-brick, or simply stare in awe at those ground floor window frames.
Paul Hetherington (Brickbaron) once again lets his creativity loose in his latest creation of a Mardi Gras float. The letters made out of mostly droid arms is definitely the highlight of the show, though the patterns on the sides are also very interesting.
Bryan’s (Eggy Pop) latest castle creation is a refreshing break from the theme, probably because it doesn’t have green foliage. As a result the contrast between the antique brown and crisp blue stands out, making this a rare delight.
Michal Herbolt’s (gearcs) Tower of Babel is based on the ziggurat design. While the construction techniques are fairly standard, the scale is grand and imposing. Note the tiny staircases made using grill bricks.
The poor mime never saw it coming. Great job James Zhan (pirate_cat), this would go well with Théo’s greeble attack.
More than two years after I made The Contortion, I revisited the concept of interweaving spirals and made a very similar sculpture using different colors that are much lighter and more cheerful, reminiscent of a spring flower.
