Mike Psiaki continues to churn out great additions to his Jurassic Park layout. His latest is actually inspired by 5935 Island Hopper, from the Adventurers “Dino Island” series. Here’s Mike’s current lineup of terrible lizards:
A new creation by Mike Psiaki (Brickshelf) is nice to see, but when that new creation is a Savoia S-21 seaplane inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s Porco Rosso, well, it’s that much more awesome. Previously on The Brothers Brick: Savoia S-21 Seaplace from Porco Rosso by Uspez Morbo
Mike Psiaki (pronounced like “psyche”) updates his Republic Gunship with the new look of version 2. Besides the mastery craftsmanship, it’s interesting to note the balance between studded elements and tiled elements that results in the varied texture of the ship.
It’s been more than a year since we’ve blogged something by Mike Psiaki, but I think it’s been worth the wait. Here’s Mike’s World War II era X-wing: And his tiltrotor:
I can’t say I’m tired of all the sleek fighters in what is turning out to be a really fun contest, but Mike Psiaki’s entry is just plain different: With hardly any big sloped pieces in sight, Mike uses very few pieces found in current sets. Different is good. Add to Del.icio.us | Digg It Continue reading →
There’s no question Mike Psiaki builds cool stuff. I just wasn’t expecting what I found when I clicked the thumbnail for this Adventurers-inspired truck: I won’t say anything more so as not to spoil the surprise. ;-) Technorati tags: LEGO Steampunk Truck Adventurers Brickshelf
I’m not sure whether this is an update or not, but Mike Psiaki has posted a most excellent airship: (Click the image for the full gallery.)
These aren’t brand new, but Mike Psiaki recently updated his P-38 Lightning, so that gives me an excuse to post these — two of my favorite World War II fighter planes in LEGO form. The Lockheed P-38 Lighting: The Vought F4U Corsair: (Click each image for the full gallery.) And just for fun, check out Continue reading →
Alysa Kirkpatrick renders a work of art depicting the mess that the act of creating art can leave behind.
LEGO bricks may be rigid and angular, but somehow Sophie (@balula.brick.builder) manages to make them look like watercolors in this incredible island villa. The house is charming with surprisingly intricate brickwork used for the plastered white walls and thin brown frame making the subtly shaped windows and door pop. The landscaping is so soothing with the mix of sand green and nougat. Custom lighting elements make the scenic villa even more inviting. TFOL Sophie only just started sharing builds this summer. Be sure to give her a follow to see what she builds next!
The warped mind of Hideo Kojima has created some incredible games. Just in time for the release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, builder @carecreations_ shows how perfect Kojima’s world is for LEGO. The vignette is dense with details from the game – we especially love the minifig trophy used for the breach baby!
With LEGO releasing so many large-scale sets of late, many builders have taken to crafting “the version I can afford” micro-sized alternatives. Joe Lam has made a few such tiny builds lately. We loved his mini Balrog Book Nook, but this chibi Going Merry from One Piece might be his cutest microbuild yet. The cornice Continue reading →
