Dwalin and Balin...brother dwarves in LEGO form

Dwalin and Balin are probably my two favorite dwarves from The Hobbit and Eero Okkonen recreated them perfectly. There is a plethora of cool details in both figures but the pattern on Balin’s shirt is incredible.

Turn to Stone

My crony from Philadelphia Carter Baldwin returns to TBB with his latest mecha, the NATO ‘Gorgon’ Mobile Frame. Based on concept art by flyingdebris, Carter brings the futuristic war machine to life with some very inventive techniques. The only question remaining is which gorgon this respresents…Stheno, Euryale or their more famous sister Medusa?

Cool the Engines

Michael Bosch, better known as §┬≡╖z, brings you a revamped version of his MiG-343 Foxhound posted late last year. The design is a fairly accurate representation of concept art by Steve “Coolhand” Tyler (not the cracked-out “singer” from Aerosmith) and sports a variety of interesting design features.

Would you like an olive?

The range of parts in the new olive green colour is pretty limited. But that appears to be no setback at all for Chris (Ironsniper) who, it looks like, used the constraints to inspire the design of his Honda カメレオン. I’ve tagged this one into building techniques too as ‘cladding’ in a rare colour is a useful technique for anyone.

Sine Mora Aircraft by Peter Morris

Peter L. Morris was commissioned by Digital Reality to build LEGO examples of some of the aircraft from their XBOX Live game Sine Mora. Peter’s unique starfighter style translated very well for both of these planes. Big congrats to Peter on the commission, and a job well done!

You can download instructions if you would like to build your own copies.

GARC Souvenir Stand by TFDesigns

Sadly I seem to have somehow missed this fantastic render by TFDesigns. But thankfully I have seen it now.

Not only is the image itself a brilliant editing job, but the design of the t-shirt trailer is top notch. Awesome job all around!!

Edit:

Also check out his LowRover :)

Asteroid Mining

I’ve really come to enjoy building in microscale, especially for space models. I can build large scenes that actually fit on my desk, like my latest foray into microscale, this asteroid mining colony.

Blessed Bigchin

I don’t really know what to say about Karf’s latest creation…except that he wins the internet for making a LEGO dude with a purple moustache and translucent red boots.

Ouch! Quit pulling my beard.

Michael Jasper (mijasper) is no stranger to TBB. His creative uses of odd-ball parts are always elegant examples of what can be done with LEGO. His latest desk makes brilliant use of the printed 1×1 plates from the Minecraft set as well as the new ice cream cone from Friends…not to mention the lipstick usage!

Preserving Preston bus station’s Brutalist architecture in LEGO

I don’t think I’d ever call Brutalist buildings beautiful, but they’re certainly interesting. Fairly unpopular and often built from materials like concrete that don’t always stand the test of time, many Brutalist structures are at risk. Rob H. (rh1985moc) built a LEGO version of Preston bus station in England to highlight the latest plan to demolish it.

Rob even highlights the stark lines and curves of his LEGO model using photo processing reminiscent of snapshots from the 60’s or 70’s. Head on over to Flickr for interior shots.

Shannon Ocean speaks on LEGO gun control

Now that I’ve caught your attention with the title, you can take some time to look at Shannon Sproule’s (Ocean) latest real-life size rayguns. Because they’re beautiful. I love it when Shannon takes his Battle for the Moon asthetic to human scale.
