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.

For Honor and Glory!

I love a good battle scene and really good, properly posed ones are quite rare. This scene, by TheDonald13, has excellent posing and near perfect photography. It feels like you are right there in the middle of it, fighting for your life amongst the little plastic warriors.

Minifigs are suprisingly difficult to pose realisticly and action scenes are some of the most difficult. Massed battles are also difficult to photograph. The minifigs tend to blur together and it can be hard to get a sense of what the builder has going on.

LEGO Ghostbusters HQ

Alex Jones (Orion Pax) has spent time poring over the two Ghostbusters movies and the animated series to portray their former fire station headquarters as accurately as possible. And he’s done an absolutely incredible job of it.

EDIT (AB): Alex’s Ecto 1 & 2 are also worth a highlight here:

Big-Ass Fruit

Sometimes Pierre E. Fieschi makes it too easy to blog his LEGO models. Not only does he offer quirky but lovely models, but he presents them beautifully as well.

Keep Fingers Well Clear!

FebRovery is producing some nice results this year and my favorite to date is this little number by halfbeak. As the title suggests ***Keep Fingers Well Clear!*** or you just might lose one.

Artemis-23

And now for a little old school Saturday night SPACE! courtesy of Don Wilson A.K.A Genghis Don. The Artemis-23 is thoughtfully paired with a stunning shot from the NASA Goddard telescope. Don brings the noise once again.

To see her is to take a sudden chill.

Presenting Cruella de Vil’s sweet ride from the Disney film 101 Dalmations, as interpreted by Cole Edmonson. The car used in the 1996 live-action version was based on the Panther De Ville, produced from 1974-85 by British car company Panther Westwinds. Cole includes a fairly accurate Cruella minifig to go with it; the only thing missing is her ever present cigarette.

And he sticks the landing!

At first glance I thought kwi-chang’s latest mecha has a severe case of bad posture, but according to the builder the pose represents the “hold after landing”. If you’re not familiar with kwi-chang’s work, I humbly suggest his HMT-005 Jagannath_01 as a good place to start.

A Cozy Shack

We need some more Castle up in here. So I present you with this adorable Wizard’s Shack, posted by Dubbadgrim. It’s simple, and that’s okay. I like the little building built right into the rockery and the tree. I do like these little dioramas

Building dystopia

I’ve noticed a lot of futuristic military scenes made recently and I wanted to give it a go as well. I spent one day to make the olive green tank and two more days for the backdrop. I tried to emulate the urban decay style with what time I had, but my lack of experience working in this style limited the techniques at my disposal. After this I will pay closer attention to other creations in the genre. It’s one thing to build a model and another to make a scene for it. You can see the description video on YouTube.

Here’s a photo of just the tank, that was the easy part I’m used to :)

Avenue Saint-Jacques

Newcastle Upon-Tyne’s own snaillad has constructed one of the finest Cafe Corner style buildings to date with his “Avenue Saint-Jaques”. According to the builder, Saint-Jacques is based on the Haussmann style which is found in most of central Paris.

Two From Iomedes

Flickr user Iomedes has been on a roll lately, offering up two outstanding spacecraft for your viewing pleasure. First up is “PROJET 55 : UBURO class stealth dropship”, inspired by the work of concept artist and futurist Syd Mead.

And finally, The “HELGHAST starfighter” has gone through some significant changes (most notably the wings) over the past few weeks and the final result is very satisfying.

Paranormal Diorama

Millie McKenzie, better known to most viewers as Leda Kat, takes one of the best moments from the otherwise forgettable 2011 film Paranormal Activity 3 and translates it into an eye-catching LEGO diorama. I realize this model doesn’t exactly qualify as new (it was posted 12-5-12), but I just recently discovered it and I’m willing to gamble that many of you missed it too. Leda has a large catalog of great models, so be sure and click through her photostream if you have the time.
