It’s been nearly a year since Danny Rice (Big_X) posted a LEGO creation, but bricks have never been far from his thoughts, since this little guy has been keeping him company on his desk.
LEGO fans sometimes criticize so-called “single-use” parts. Danny proves that there’s more than one use for the LEGO Star Wars Dewback head.
Jonathan (legomocs) finished his T-rex skeleton and it is beautiful. The challenge of tacking such a complex organic shape is formidable, but Jonathan pulled it off. This is a very respectable build.
Flick user retinence shows a very dab hand at Bionicle construction with his wolf. Apparently he “skimped on the technique”. I’d be curious to see what non-skimping looks like because it’s fantastic as is.
LEGO Chocobos were a bit of a fad a few years ago, but they were all based on the same design. Carl Merriam takes these key Final Fantasy characters to new LEGO heights, though it’s unclear why the big yellow guy isn’t allowed to roam free.
Via The Living Brick.
Partially inspired by the LEGO Minotaurus game, Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) started building micro mythical monsters almost two months ago and just hasn’t stopped. Each incorporates good micro work and angles, but my favorite monsters have at least one fantastically creative use of elements.
The first is Matt’s personal favorite, a Harpy.
His second is a Chinese dragon that has an impressive head and lower jaw.
I’m really not sure what this dog by Chandler Parker would say but I feel it would more pithy than a simple ‘woof!’. Maybe it’s the canine equivalent of the Cheshire Cat.
Ryan Rubino continues his predator vs. prey series and turns the lens to focus on macro wildlife. The depictions of the Yellow Jacket and Black Widow are convincingly realistic, but I think the most innovative feat of the creation lies in the staging of the encounter. It must have been a true act to skill and patience to balance the creatures on the intricate web and plant stalks.
Sean Kenney has been busy building sculptures for the Creatures of Habitat display at the Philadelphia Zoo. The display aims to inspire awareness of endangered species and protection of our planet, and it will run from April 10 to October 31, 2010.
This huge life-sized polar bear is made up of over 95,000 LEGO pieces and took over 1100 hours to construct together with a team of 5 assistants. Sean deliberately and carefully captured the realism of a bear that seemed to be a little frustrated, a little sad and confused at the same time about the predicament of being an endangered species.
Tyler does it again. This flying terror is a thing of beauty and joy forever. It’s one of those rare creations that I actually want to build myself….
This gigantic spider by Jason Ruff (Doctor Mobius) makes the hairs on my back stand up. In addition to the thousands of hair spikes covering its body, this nightmare creature also packs egg missiles and drones. If you don’t have arachnophobia, you probably do now.
Aaron Dayman has concocted a lovely blend of technique and terror. If I don’t sleep tonight, I’ll never forgive him. I’m loving it.
Angus MacLane has taken a trip to Wonderland with his latest installment of CubeDudes. They are all excellent, but the Caterpillar’s expression and the White Rabbit are exceptional.
