Reader Eric sends word of a great Legend of Zelda video on Kotaku (possible spoiler alert for the three of you in Uzbekistan who haven’t finished Ocarina of Time yet):
What I like so much about this is how creator Michael Inglis used all the right sound effects. Simple things like that make a huge difference. See more of Michael’s videos on YouTube.
Sweet unholy hell. When MisterZumbi does something for the first time, he does it with a bang — like a backfiring hotrod.
For someone who’s never built anything larger than minifig-scale, this is quite the first. The level of detail in MisterZumbi’s “Road Zombie” is unbelievable. Click the pic to check out the engine, the interior, and other tidbits of heavy metal goodness.

The latest episode of LAML Radio hosts an interview including content about Brickarms. Learn more about this great customs minifig weapons shop and listen to the podcast.
Dimitri Burakov is an incredibly talended LEGO renderer from Lithuania. He uses an array of programs to create anything from polished renders to professional instructions of LEGO models both official and fan-built.
I recently came across his works on Brickshelf and contacted him about cooperating on some projects. The results are amazing. Below is a beautiful rendering of my tripod mecha with sample instruction steps. In exchange, I shipped out a big package from S@H.
If you’re interested in having renderings and/or instructions done for your work by a professional, you can find Dimitri’s contact info at his Brickshelf gallery.
BrickArms creator Will Chapman has been hard at work developing designs for his mystical “third mold.”
We’ve already seen prototype weapons, but the latest designs include a scalpel and syringe. Click the picture and check them out in a couple new vignettes by corran101:
Nnenn‘s recent spacecraft have had a decidedly “buggy” look (though others have compared these to Invid or the mobile armor mode of RX-110 Gabthley from Gundam).
Corran101 recently won the Bladerunner vignette contest on the BrickArms forums, and his prize was a set of prototypes of new designs. The two designs are for the Auto-9 Pistol (the longer one) and PKD2019.
Click the picture above for the full photoset on Flickr, but here’s Corran101’s excellent winning entry:
Julian Fong is a minifig customizer I wasn’t familiar with until I saw these beautiful Justice League figs in his Flickr photostream. From Aquaman to Zatanna, Julian’s figs are just plain gorgeous.
As “Armothe,” Kyle Peterson may be best known as one half of the team behind BrickForge, but he’s also a great minifig customizer in his own right. His latest set of figs is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. From Arthur and Sir Bedevere (above) to Launcelot and Robin (below), the gang’s all here.
Check out Kyle’s Flickr photostream for more, including Galahad, Gawain, and my favorite, a French Knight:
“Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!”
