Tag Archives: Dioramas

There’s nothing like a massive LEGO diorama to prove that you’ve arrived as a LEGO builder. The LEGO dioramas we feature here span everything from realistic medieval castles to scenes from World War II, and more than a few post-apocalyptic wastelands.

[April Fools’!] Spinjitsu Arena!

The legendary duo Tyler and I have created yet another epic collaboration called Spinjitsu Arena! We’ve hyped it up for the past three days with our usual string of teasers, and now the moment of revelation is here. Witness the awesome Ninjago spinner action topped with explosive Banelings! There’s so much going on that we had to show it in a video. Can you handle the action?

Stairway to heaven

It’s been a while since I posted many Black Fantasy creations, but that doesn’t mean the theme is dead in my heart. This diorama called Ascension depicts two space marines escaping the infestation pit through an ascending catwalk to the helipad. After making this, I noticed that I’ve used shades of the three primary colors red, yellow, and blue as color accents, which seems like a terrible idea by itself but may have worked in this case.

Welcome to the jungle

Ciamosław Ciamek‘s diorama takes us to the jungle, and not just any jungle, but the primeval brooding wilderness of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. If you suspect the men on the steamboat are being watched, you’re probably right.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

This time last year we were collectively preparing to worship LEGO Hawking, courtesy of Iain Heath. Now, the venerable Mr. Hawking is nothing but a prisoner of those damn dirty apes. I don’t trust Iain with my heroes of character anymore.

What’s next, Iain? Will you turn Quorra into a Justin Bieber fan? Will you, yourself, abandon miniland creations for minifig scale?

I just can’t take it anymore.

Tablescrap Robbery

Tablescrap Robbery

Most people are satisfied with simply uploading a bad picture of their LEGO tablescraps and adding them to their group. Nothing so simple was on the agenda for Brent (thwaak). He arranged, narrated, photographed and edited. And I’m glad he did.

Winter Break

Chris Edwards recently photographed his contribution of BrickFair’s Snowpocalypse layout last year. The abandoned school building covered in cold snow really helps to evoke an eerie feeling.

One does seem to be missing.

Those three blind mice. See how they run? According to Barney Main (SlyOwl), one wasn’t quite quick enough. There is a ton of great stuff hidden in plain sight in this photo. The whole presentation of it is just fabulous.

War Machines Strike

Chris Edwards once again demonstrates proper way of controling the action with his latest diorama called War Machines Strike. Using clever building techniques as well as puns, Chris shows us what happens when intelligent combat robots throw down their weapons and go on strike, ha! Check out the full gallery on Flickr.

Meth-roaches go *splat* under the heels of the Octan Sec-Mech

The fuel that powers all those racers in the recent LUGNuts challenge has to come from somewhere. And something has to defend that fuel from meth-roaches. Wait, what? Take it away, Mark Stafford!

Space Lounge 000

Mission:Space Lounge 001

Mike Yoder (yoder42) made a small LEGO webcomic. There’s a lot of great action, and especially great models. Anyone else get an 80s or early 90s vibe here?

Well Polished LEGO

Drzymała's wagon

Karwik has created a beautiful rendition of Drzymała’s wagon with a wonderful backdrop of trees. His use of colour and texture in the otherwise plain wagon is truly masterful and the trees are almost certainly the best I’ve seen. I would be utterly remiss if I didn’t post this.

Castle in the city

There’s been a ton of great creations posted in the past few days, and this one by Matija Grguric is certainly no exception. This castle has survived the times and is now transformed into a modern day historical attraction, complete with tourists of course! Check out the gallery with detail shots on Flickr.
