Bristol England’s own MortalSwordsman has a series of models on MOCpages he calls “All Creatures Great and Small” which bear little resemblance to the heartwarming tales of James Herriot’s veterinarian, but are entertaining nonetheless. Joe’s latest, the majestic Winged Centaur, would be right at home on the side of a 70’s van or within the pages of the Monster Manual or perhaps even the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Although many fans of the X-Men can’t abide 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I have a special fondness for the film. When I was layed up in the hospital for a week it played every 6 hours or so on the limited selection of cable TV channels, so I got to know the film quite well. Timed perfectly with the interval of my morphine drip I found it very entertaining, with memorable lines like “I think there’s a naked man in our barn”, “Activate the Deadpool!” and my personal favorite “Wow. Koo-koo-ka-choo got screwed.”
Moving along, Project Azazel brings the films central moment to life with an outstanding diorama he simply titles: “The Wolverine”.
69Zombieslayer puts the enduringly popular Hazmat minifigures to good use in this cinematic style wide-screen shot. In his terse description the builder asks you to imagine The A Team theme music in the background, but when I look at the photo all I hear is The Tower that Ate People. Your results may vary.
You can now register for Brickworld 2013 in Chicago from June 12-16. This year marks an exciting change for one of the premier Lego conventions in the US because Brickworld will be moving to a new venue at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center that offers up to 148,624 sq. ft of space for the event. If you thought the previous Brickworld display area was big, the new place more than triples the size of the previous convention hall (see for yourself). I hope to see many of you there!
I will admit to not watching zombie movies, because…well…they freak me out (Shaun of the Dead notwithstanding).
However, I can still appreciate a nicely created zombie model. Especially one as cool as Chris Maddison’s (cmaddison) latest creation.
…still creeps me out though!
Check out the full photo set for all the creepy details.
More pictures of the upcoming modular building 10232 Palace Cinema have surfaced on Flickr. You can see them in this Flickr gallery.
It’s always hard to take (and for me to choose) shots of large LEGO buildings, especially shots that show them off in all their glory. With Jonathan Lopes’ (BKNY Bricks) latest model, I chose the angle that I though best demonstrated the fun parts (see below) and you’ll just have to follow the trail to see more. Here Jonathan has recreated the Morris Museum under commission to be displayed at the real useum.

On the topic of fun, Jonathan said “while the original building is 100 years old, there have been a few additions built onto it over the years. This meant for a very interesting design and build – with the varying architectural styles and all.”. And that sounds like fun to me.
Ralph Savelsberg (Mad_physicist) has built a lot of very nice cars through the years, both minifig sized, and at around 1:22. Today he presents a model of a Mercedes Actros car transporter to show a bunch of them off. I reckon this would look very nice on my display shelf.
…call in this guy. This mech by flickr user Bockaderunner sports some terrific heavy weapons, and looks great to boot. The posing of the mech is awesome, and gives it a much more dynamic presence than a simple at-attention pose.
