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.

Do you think that’s air you’re breathing now?

Sometimes you just don’t know if you are in the Matrix or not, and Pascal’s (pasukaru76) latest foray into POV-Ray renders is just one of those times.

I still find myself questioning whether that is an actual photo of LEGO or not???

Hello from Canada...eh!

Hello fellow LEGO maniacs!!!! To say that I am excited to be a part of The Brothers Brick is an understatement. TBB has been my daily dose of LEGO news and models for years now, so I am absolutely pumped to now be a part of it.

To introduce myself, the name is TR Brownridge, but you can call me Tromas…or TR…whichever you would prefer really. I stem from the Great White North that is Canada. When it comes to LEGO, for me it is all about playing and most importantly FUN!!! Those of you who know me from flickr will know that I am just as happy building something for either of my two sons as I am for myself, and even when I do build it ‘for them’…they have to fight me to play with it.

I tend to build primarily in the space/sci-fi theme…

but have been known to dabble in other genres as well…

So long story short, I am so unbelievably happy to be here, and so very, very excited for things to come!!!

New Guy on the Blog

Greetings to all our fellow readers! I’m new here, and will be entertaining you with awesome creations from our huge LEGO fan community from now on. But, as is customary and considered polite, I should first introduce myself.

My name is Matija Grguric, and I come from Croatia. I am active on both MOCpages and Flickr, and you might’ve seen my work there. My daily job is also LEGO – not building, but second best – selling. That is the reason I have lots of time and bricks on my hands, so I am a pretty active builder. I’m currently working on two projects – Mediterranean Town and Civilization series. The first one is still new, but here is a sneak peak – corner house. I am hoping to make a few streets of those.

Civilization Series, or the Wonders of the Ancient world (still trying to figure out a title) is something I’ve been working on on and off for a year now. Recently I am trying to make it a set using CUUSOO — so here’s another try — Support those if you like them! Most recent addition to the series is the lost city of Inca – Machu Picchu.

That’s all from me now. Enjoy LEGO.

K4 KO

Cale Leiphart just posted some beautiful train models (Pennsy K4 class for the trainheads). They’ve got all the bells and whistles (for some approximation of literally) and are sleek little beasts. But you really need to watch a video to do them full justice.

Lego Art

While I would consider many things we post here to be Lego Art, there are few pieces of art featuring Lego. There are certainly some great illustrators out there who feature Lego frequently in their work, it’s still exciting to find another. Enter these illustrations by Bobofrutx, he’s taken classic sets and drawn them in little scenes, adding a splash of life.

Thanks to Bruce Lowell for the tip!

Real World Fighter Contest

TR Brownridge (.Tromas) is hosting a contest over at the Starfighters flickr group. Entries close August First. Check it out.

Video tour of the Toy and Plastic Brick Museum

Josh from A Look at Lego takes us on a visit with Dan Brown of the Toy and Plastic Brick Museum in Bellaire, Ohio. You may have heard of this unofficial Lego museum in LEGO: A Love Story and wondered what the place actually looks like. This video shows a glimpse of the largest private Lego collection in the world.

Lego Star Wars Relativity

Escher’s Relativity has been made in Lego multiple times in the theme of space and castle, and now Paul Vermeesch puts a Star Wars twist on it.

Home is where the sword is

Stefan Käsmayer (– 2×4 –) likes his samurai movies, and we like his creations. His second samurai house once again shows how effective grill tiles are for the roofs of such buildings. You can see his first samurai house we blogged last year.

Animated set building videos

I’m familiar with the custom brick lights by Max Yang (Artifex Creations), but I’m just now aware that he also produces some excellent videos showing brick-by-brick constructions of the newest Lego sets. In my opinion they are more interesting to watch than speed-up builds, which don’t show the techniques or parts used in the sets. Here are two examples; you can see the rest on Youtube.

Thanks for the tip DarkkosiS!

The Voice of Evil

Duco Brugman (bloei) presents a nightmarish castle perched on top of glowing lava. There is also a video that shows moving features of the creation. One of my favorite parts is the eerie transparent green accent, which balances the overwhelming hot colors.

Multitude of mini many-legged mecha

It is always nice to see something new from Izo Yoshimura (Izzo’s Legostyle). Nicer still to see a collection.
