I usually steer clear of multi-coloured brick-because-it’s-in-fashion art and design but I have to confess this particular boardroom table caught my eye. Not only is it genuinely made entirely of real LEGO (22k pieces of it no less) but there is no glue involved and a bunch of cute details including the client’s name.
As an added bonus the designers have included a 2-minute stop motion video of its creation down the bottom of the page.

Morgan19 is an amazing customizer. His presentation on all of his creations is quite impeccable. I particularly like how each figure has a back story or something to accompany and enhance it in some way. Ghamorel is a good example of this.
Dave Shaddix likes to work to his own rulebook. In this case his rulebook told him to make three Kachinas: Angwusnasomtaka, Talavai and Palavitkuna. I love studs sideways sculpting.
For those wondering Dave has been kind enough to add a picture showing how it’s done.
Recently, Brickforge released the latest of their custom “animals”…the mythical Centaur! I ordered some and I have to say that I love ’em. They are available in three colors (Tan, Brown, Dark Tan).
Captain Spaulding built a scene from French writer Jules Verne‘s science fiction novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. What makes this vignette a hit is the use of a framed ocean backdrop to to put the scene in context. The custom seaweed looks to be made from cut up sprue pieces. The effect is nice if you can overcome this non-purist technique.
Lovers of Masamune Shirow don’t need to feel left out of the Cubedude phenomenan as Paul Meissner (legosamurai) has rendered the leading duo from Appleseed in blocky glory.
Do not adjust your monitor. This is 100% LEGO. Shiny LEGO! bricksonwheels is showing off his homemade chrome collection and building skills to brilliant effect.
I admit…I don’t look at a lot of custom minifigures. But there are, on occasion, those that give me pause. This is one of them:
Created by geoshift, the detail work is impressive and the paint itself is very clean. It’s stunning. Of course, looking at the rest of the photostream, I realize I’ve clearly been missing out. Take a look. You won’t regret it.
The good people at GHL are running a contest:
To kick off our marketing and promotion efforts here in the Dominion planet of “Earth”, we at Galactic Handling and Logistics have decided to hold a contest, since the initial brain-scans and surveys have concluded that Terrans are a competitive bunch and best motivated by “free stuff”.
There are two Pro flickr accounts up for grabs and contest closes on the 31st August 2010.
This Peterbilt rig by Bricksonwheels is to die for. While the shiney chrome goodness leaps out at you, the build is phenomonal. Remoted controlled via Power Functions and featuring all sort of fun features, this truck truly rocks.
BrickArms has released new custom minifig weapons, including the Apoc SMG, High Caliber Sniper Rifle, Combat PDW, AC8 Assault Carbine, Longslide Automatic, Sawed-Off Shotgun, M203 Grenade Launcher, and Spy Carbine.
