You’d probably expect a lot of the posts on a LEGO website like The Brothers Brick to be about LEGO, and you’d be right. If you’re browsing this page, you might want to consider narrowing what you’re looking for by checking out categories like “Space” and “Castle.” We’re sure there’s something here that’ll fascinate and amaze you.

LEGO Tardis from Doctor Who in 1/3 scale!

Shelly Timson is the creator of this work of art. She wanted to build a Tardis for the upcoming 50th anniversary of the iconic show, Doctor Who (just ten days away as of this writing!). She asked Rob Deakin, founder of the studio Inside the Brick, if she could use the studio’s supply of Dark Blue bricks. Over four thousand bricks and three weeks later this lovely Tardis emerged. The TARDIS, along with other creations, is on display at the Studio in Fairfield, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria in Australia.

Check out the Flickr Set for more pictures and detail. Flickr comments have been disabled on all the pictures except for this one. If you want to tell Rob how awesome this build is, I’m sure he will be passing the comments on back to the builder.

Wearable Santa Head!

I know, I know, Christmas comes earlier and earlier every year and I’m not helping matters by posting Christmas creations in November. I’m sorry, but this Santa was too good to pass up. Jeff Cunningham has build an awesome Santa head. At first I thought it was a really nice display piece until I read the description. Come to find out, he can wear the thing and see out the eyes! I’m impressed, Jeff, very impressed.

Hayao Miyazaki’s Akuyaku

Tyler Clites (legohaulic)does it again with this pile of curvy goodness. This model is a recreation of a tank designed by legendary film-maker and artist, Hayao Miyazaki. In the words of that immortal tanker, Donald Sutherland, “It’s a mother beautiful tank!”.

First Wave of 2014 LEGO City Sets Revealed [News]

LEGO City fans ought to love these new City sets. There are some really cool vehicles here, but my favorite has got to be the new LEGO City police helicopter, which actually looks like a proper Sikorsky S-61.

Warrior Rat

Jonas (Legopard) says that this is a tablescrap constructed out of an assortment of LEGO bricks done at the Bricking Bavaria event. Impressive improvisation skills to say the least.

LEGO 2014 Creator Sets Unveiled [News]

Here’s a look at next year’s lineup of Creator sets. I don’t usually get too excited about Creator sets, but I have to say these are looking pretty nice. I’m especially excited about the animal sets, which we haven’t seen in the Creator line for several years. That cat and mouse are just too awesome.

LEGO Video Card

Nick V (brickthing) has built something that will bring out the nerd in many of us. I never thought I would write a sentence that used “video card” and “beauty” together, but this replica video card really is a thing of beauty.

LEGO Sword in the Stone – “Kay’s Squire”

Luke Watkins Hutchinson (-Derfel Cadarn-) has beautifully recreated a scene from Disney’s Sword in the Stone. The ramshackle tower and worn, eroded walls make this build stand out, but the smaller details bring it to life. For those familiar with the movie, you can see young “Wart” (young King Arthur) cranking on the jousting dummy while the arrogant Sir Kay practices his “form”. Quite the fun build!

Vic Viper BP-5693

This ladies and gentlemen is a Vic Viper. Need I say more?

Well I suppose I should at least add that this masterpiece was built by Nate Decastro.

That is a proper job Nate!

Master of the seas

Brickshelf user maydayartist built a stunningly detailed replica of a 1577 English galleon using custom cloth sails and rigging. On top of that, he photoshopped the model into a painting of the high seas, greatly enhancing the presentation.

LEGO Disney Princesses Revealed [News]

Images for the upcoming 2014 Disney Princess line have been revealed, giving more detail into the new line of sets. As you can see, the figures are closer to the Friend’s line. I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking, because my inner-child has nothing more to say than high-pitched squeals of delight.
