The landscaping in this military diorama by Infomaniac is superb — especially the rock formation under the sentry tower.
Don’t miss the muddy soldiers sneaking up on the tower, though I suspect their camouflage will wash off in the crystal-clear waters of the stream.
Yes, I know it’s not technically a dentist’s chair. But it looks like a dentist’s chair from the 1800s that Stephen King’s been commissioned to upgrade. Now tell me–isn’t that the stuff of nightmares?
Karf, this is all your fault. I’m not going to be seeing you for my next cleaning. And I’m not accepting you as a referral from my psychiatrist.
Now all kidding aside, I really WAS drawn to the chair. But the rest of the details are simply superb in this, too. Check it out!
I just can’t get enough of the details and dusty lighting in this old fashioned general store by Alex Eylar (Profound Whatever).
I particularly love the little price signs stuck into and on top of the merchandise. That really makes it.
…Pax Brooklynstyle. This scene by Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) doesn’t need much description (and I’m not even sure what I’d give it). Probably the best forced perspective I’ve seen.
As though that wasn’t enough he also posted some sneakers. As I have a theory that the Beastie Boys are secretly nerds I reckon they’d love these.
Shannon Young‘s Skunk Base N is teeming with the goodies of Classic Space. Integrated into a rocky terrain, the base features cool details such as a light rail, landing pad, and supplies store. Check out the full gallery on MOCpages.
There’s always something that totally draws me in with well-done scenes, and the latest creation from hippotam is no exception to this. His clock tower itself is just gorgeous, and the chaos at the base of the tower is just fantastic.
Real life castles tend to make beautiful LEGO creations, and Neven Cintauer presents his version–gorgeous down to the last micro detail.
The real Predjama is located in Slovenia, and was constructed in the mouth of a cave. I find the inclusion of a secret tunnel particularly interesting.
As we’ve held off blogging for the last week to celebrate the late nnenn’s work I’m sure we all have a backlog of stuff to post. So please excuse the high density of cool LEGO models on your screen.
Dave Shaddix’s March Out Of The Darkness may be a work-in-progress but this photo is certainly ‘done’ enough for me to blog it here. I’m not going to claim this has never been done as I know someone will dig out an old link to something from 1997 but I will say an action posed larger fig diorama like this is a highly unusual concept and one I can fully appreciate when it’s done this well. Perhaps Dave would like to provide us with the music.
Brickshelf user LakMause built a barracks from ancient Japan. The scaled golden roof is a gorgeous feature, but there are plenty of small details that you shouldn’t miss. Check out the pond, the training ring, and the building interior.
This would make an excellent contribution to our Big In Japan collaboration project for BrickCon 2010.
So…I like Mythbusters. I mean…who doesn’t? Those guys use any excuse to blow things up. It cracks me up.
So I recognized the diorama that Johnathon Gilbert posted…I even recognized the myth:
Tom Snellan presents a beautiful snowscape at the entrance of a dwarves’ mine. The most impressive feature is definitely the sculpture of the giant dwarf (pardon the oxymoron), which very closely resembles its minifig counterpart. I also like the combination of using droid arms and arch bricks on the tree, which adds a realism that either alone can achieve.
Lolas has done an excellent job capture the simple chaos after the storm, complete with tree roots, unintentional swimming sessions, and general mayhem.
I’m not totally sure how I missed the rest of his phenomenal creations, but I highly recommend taking a moment to check out the rest of his page. He’s got some GREAT things in there, including entries to Classic Castle’s recent contests.
