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.

Nnenn’s first SHIP is godly

After building countless spacefighters, Nnenn decides to go big and makes his first SHIP, measuring more than 110 studs long, about 3 feet. Dubbed the Divine Intervention, this missile cruiser takes on all the qualities we expect from its superhuman maker. Unfortunately, the creation had a rather mortal lifespan, lasting only 24 hours from its moment of completion to the time of dismantlement, ready to be recycled into the next project.

There’s no denying the beauty of the groove of greebling found on the sides, and if you look closer, there are subtle asymmetrical variations on both sides.

Daniel Jassim’s Hurricane Heavy Assault Craft

This troop ship by Daniel Jassim is simply gorgeous. Classic lines, just enough greebles, perfect interior, and packed with functional details. You have to check out that front ramp! Overall, a really nice build.

Glutton by Huxhold

This is a rather old one, by Kevin Huxhold. I’ve never seen it before so I’m blogging it! Why? Because I can! And it’s really cool….

Andrew Lee assaults the Red Planet

With a pair each of jump troopers and exo-suits, Andrew Lee‘s Martian diorama has a lot going on.

Note the excellent use of diving platforms as legs for the yellow exo-suit.

Just keep telling yourself: you’re a boy, you’re a boy.

I kept myself awake on a recent international flight by watching movies, including — for the very first time — Some Like it Hot. Michael Jasper does justice to Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis with his latest pair of minifig characters.

Brick Obama: LEGO Hope poster by Michael Fortress

As I type this, Barack Obama stands on the steps of the Unites States Capital with his right hand raised, taking the Oath of Office as the 44th President of the United States of America.

Brick Obama \"Hope\" poster by Michael Fortress

The Steamviper brings it

Personally, I’m a bit tired of the BSG Viper fad, but I had to make an exception here. V&A Steamworks cruises in with a Steampunk Viper and its full of nifty win. Check out those Duplo Pirate Pistols, Bionicle pieces and Harry Potter pieces! This thing is loaded with stuff that should never be in the same room together, let alone in the same creation. It workin’ though…really well.
