Zombie hordes, nuclear annihilation, rising sea levels, the monkeypox — the future doesn’t look too bright for all those smiling LEGO minifigs. But survivors abound in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, entrenched in well-guarded camps or on the road in crazy armored contraptions. Check out all these post-apoc models to see that there is indeed hope for LEGO humanity after all…

Picking up the Pieces ApocaLEGO contest on Flickr [w00t!]

The ApocaLEGO group on Flickr is hosting a contest that asks builders to illustrate how civilization rebuilds itself after the LEGO apocalypse.

There are entry categories for small and large LEGO creations, but the key to the contest is that the post-apocalyptic survivors should be “actively building/creating something important to their continued survival.” What a refreshing change from the usual gloom and doom!

You can even win some LEGO, so this is your chance to get some loot for your shining beacon of LEGO hope in a desolated LEGO landscape.

The contest ends on July 31, 2008.

Adrian Florea slugs some muddy boots

Adrian Florea is at it again — building mecha and blowin’ minds.

Behold the Muddy Boot Slugger Mech:

The mech itself is great, to be sure, but the road under it is worth noting. That arrow is rather ingenious.

A shelter in the post-apocalyptic storm

Obxcrew applies his vignette-building skills to the tortured world of ApocaLEGO, as three men huddle around a campfire:

The wall and stack of wood are nice touches, as is the mixture of sand green in the otherwise brown and white landscape.

Holy Crap!

Sly Owl has turned out some very unusual creations, but the latest is in a league of its own.

Its simply called Dung Mall.

When angry townspeople attack

Brickshelf user Maniac000 (aka McZargåld on Flickr) created a diorama showing what happens when angry townspeople attack. The government forces arrived to find the stage set for an all out street battle, including trenches and barbed wires. Viva La Revolución!

I am LEGO

Yul Burman Karel (Flickr) gives I am Legend the LEGO twist with his I am LEGO poster. I love the tagline, “The last minifigure on Earth is not alone.”

The world has moved on. The mountain remains.

Justin Vaughn continues the story he began with “Autumn Solitude” in his latest post-apocalyptic diorama, “Tedious Descent”:

Here’s a bit of the story to whet your appetite:

16 October, 2017 – Day 154
Well, day one of my trek back to town is coming to an end. It snowed a tad this morning, but not enough to really make problems…

Post-apoc robot stands out like a real sculpture

Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) has made an extremely realistic looking post-apoc combat robot, which from a glance looks nothing like a brick-built LEGO model. But don’t feel bad if you got fooled like I did, it’s the Legohaulic we’re talking about.

Rolling through the blasted landscape with Horace Cheng

With everybody distracted by shiny Cave Racers, it seems the end of the world has been staved off for a while, or so it would seem from the dearth of decent ApocaLEGO lately.

Fortunately for us, Horace Cheng has taken his recent snowmobile design and added a bunch of stuff to make it zombie-proof:

Bonus Iron Man hard suit:

Bandwagon mayhem

Adrian Florea (Olog) mashed together some of the curretly hot bandwagon themes into an action-packed diorama. Without scrolling down to the answers, what themes do you recognize?

Answers: cave racers, black fantasy, frogspace, post apoc, and fabuland

Battle in the streets of future Britain!

In the future envisioned by Shadow Viking, New British forces fight a street battle with the Coalition of Loyalist Britons:

From the thrashed bus stop to the enormous crater being used as a mortar emplacement, this diorama is chock full of cool details. Check out the New Britain/ Coalition of Loyalist Britons street battle photoset on Flickr.

(Thanks Scotty!)

Human Transporter of the post-apocalyptic landscape

Treaded wheels, check. Cannon, check. Gun-toting human, check. Auto-balance gyroscope, check. From the twisted mind of Rocko emerges a Segway capable of tearing up the wasteland of the future.

While we’re at it, remember the nice lady in this scene? Here’s the bike she was originally going to be riding:

Oh yeah.
