This is what we’re all about. We scour the web for the best custom LEGO models to share with you. From castles and spaceships to planes, trains, and automobiles, you’ll find the best LEGO creations from builders all over the world right here on The Brothers Brick.

Space Wheels x2 x4 x6 !!!!!!

I rarely blog LEGO models together, but these two wheeled beasts seem almost as though they were designed to be put on as a double act.

Sorting by date gives Shannon Sproule (Ocean) the top billing with his latest excellent addition to Battle for the Moon. And even by his own high standards this one is a winner. He presents the Soviet Lunar Katyusha for our edification.

Following on is Mark Stafford (nabii), taking a very different theme and adding wheels to Space Police 3. It’s another example from Mark of what I call set+ building. Somewhere between set style and over-the-top finicky AFOL style. I’m a big fan of that sort of build, at least in part because I can’t pull it off at all well and here it is made to look effortless.

I Love Blue

Here’s a fun little build by Andrew Lee. He’s managed to pack a great deal of detail into a small package. I’m a fan of energy axes and circular magazines, so the armaments leave me happy.

It looks like Andrew posted a whole team of bots last night, so make sure to check out his photo stream.

LEGO Glamdring, the Foe-Hammer!

Cole Edmonson has rocked my world again. He has recently posted pictures of his full-scale Glamdring, the sword carried by Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings. It is a beautiful sword and Cole has out-done himself. I hope he continues recreating LOTR weapons in LEGO form. I’m loving it.

You Don’t Have to Build Big

You don’t have to build big to build awesome. This sweet ride by Brian Kescenovitz is a marvel of cool techniques used at an incredibly small scale.

Destroyers in Space

Who says all big spaceships need to be covered with greebles to look great? This gorgeous space Destroyer by Dutch builder Red Spacecat employs clean lines and smooth surfaces, and it looks fantastic. Don’t let that fool you, though; it’s still packed with plenty of details, like the hidden torpedo ports.

Train Wednesday part 2

Although not quite so obvious as the IC125, the GG1 was also a sleek beast back in its day. It’s also a notorious challenge for LEGO train builders. Nathaniel Brill (Shuppiluliumas) rises to the challenge with two versions of the mythical beast. Note especially the skates on the pantograph (the shiny bit up top), a very nice part use that’s been doing the train rounds for a bit*.

* As I recall we have Dave Stannard to thank for it.

Train Wednesday part 1

The InterCity 125 High Speed Train was never that fast by today’s standards, but it did have some sleek 70s styling and could reach speeds of over 200kph. In his fabulous LEGO version, Michael Gale puts it firmly in context with some lovely postcard presentation. But it’s not just the presentation that is great, the build techniques are pretty sleek too.

Wonderful Decay

Evan B. (Lego Junkie) has built a scene from Call of Duty Black Ops II, I know nothing of the game, and Evan admits to not playing it himself. However, what I do know is that this is one rockin’ example of how to build decay. That diner sign is an absolute thing of beauty!

Full Photset

Oh Deer!

I couldn’t resist the latest by Bartosz Kacprzyk. I can’t wait to show this to my son, who’s a Rudolph super-fan. Make sure to check out some of the other recent creations on his page, too, there’s some great stuff!

Such Dainty Legs

This morning, I came across two mecha models, from two different builders, that share a common attribute. Their legs are all quite thin, one might even say elegant (or flimsy). Personally, I have trouble keeping mecha with thick legs and joints standing, so I really appreciate the effort that went into these.

First, there’s the Zip Kit by Dave Steeves. It had an old-school mechwarrior vibe that I dig, and while the construction of the base is simple, I quite like it.

Next, is the VT-318 Kelly, by Rod Gillies. He could just as well have called it the black swan, as it stands balanced en pointe. It’s also a cool looking mecha, once you get over the shock that it’s actually standing.

The Red Baron rides again

This shiny new monster by Bricksonwheels is a thing of beauty.

Based on the color scheme and insignia of the iconic plane belonging the orginal Red Baron, Manfred Von Richthofen, this bike really pops. The level of detail and the scale make this one of those models that doesn’t look like LEGO until you look closer. We expect beautiful models from this builder but this particular build is something special.

The Coming War

Here is one from last month that should have been posted but I overlooked it. This incredibly detailed tower, by Kyle, is outstanding. From the bricks and rockwork to the details on the crennelations, it is all top-notch. Kyle is a builder to keep an eye on.
