Whenever a contest happens, any new theme tends to get a bit, dare I say, crowded. This is certainly true of ApocaLEGO due to the “Head for the Hills” contest, so it’s always cool to see a new twist, like Corran101‘s Egyptian-themed entry. Click the photo for the back story on this heavily armed holdout.
So much post-apocalyptic LEGO is set in the city that you sometimes forget what it must be like out in the boondocks for survivors (if there are any). The Head for the Hills! contest in the ApocaLEGO Flickr group has just one rule — the LEGO creation must be set outside the increasingly standard urban landscape.
Expect lots of rural post-apocalyptic LEGO creations over the next while, but one of my favorites so far is Scott Whitesell‘s “Solitude.”
Tyler (Legohaulic) constructed a worn bridge converted into a biker’s hideout. With the usual quality we can expect from him, check out the innovative details all over the place. My favorite is the caged gun turret.
Merry Christmas to everyone from me! I present you something less joyful for those who want to deflate some overinflated holiday cheer. Tired of hearing wishes for peace on Earth? I bring you Armageddon!
This is a motorized black fantasy tank. In addition to movement, it also features a rotating infantry grinder and a self-firing weapons system. Please read the gruesome backstory on MOCpages and enjoy the youtube video.
The SM-80 Arctic Sniper Mech has you in his sights. Take a good look at Tyler‘s newest creation before it decides to pull the trigger.
What’s better than having your truck broken down in the middle of the desert? Why, with a horde of zombies of course! Justin Vaughn conjures a swarm of zombies attacking a truck on a desert highway. Check out Zombie Hunt.
Nice salt shaker! Ran out of white paper? ;)
Decades after the riots and wars caused by the Cataclysm, a lone man makes his way back to the city. It used to be his. He worked, breathed, loved, and lived here.
But that was long time ago. Many lifetimes have passed since then. He pauses beside Checkpoint Alpha. Built to keep the peace, it became a catalyst for violence and death. That’s all over, for now.
The wind trips lightly through the rubble and plays with the dead leaves. He peers into an old trash can, even the trash is gone…
Jehkay‘s skyboat doesn’t quite fit the conventional patterns for what we call “steampunk” or “post-apoc” — and that’s precisely why I love this little flying bucket of bolts.
I couldn’t help myself, I just had to build something post-apocalyptic of my own. The tank in the picture above is a work-in-progress, and ultimately I’d like to build a diorama for the vehicles and minifigs, but I like the ‘figs enough to call them done.
The Jomon clan:
Their allies the Emishi:
And their enemies, the Yamato:
I’ve been busy building my own ApocaLEGO minifigs (to be followed at some point by vehicles and/or dioramas), so I’m rather behind on cool new ApocaLEGO that needs to be blogged.
In reverse chronological order (I think), Mark Stafford gets things going with “Oakwood Avenue: After the Zombie Apocalypse”:
Here’s “Post-apoc road battle” by Shadow Viking:
Alex Eylar combines steampunk and ApocaLEGO for his diorama, “Jekyll vs Hyde” (don’t miss his older Zombie Apocalypse):
Finally (and very belatedly), Bronson‘s excellent “Hellbringer”:
