We’re used to seeing castle creations in gray and earth tones, but Rocko‘s latest creation goes beyond that and adds in more exotic colors such as sand green, gold for the windows, and even a dark tan rope bridge for an all around beautiful and vivid scene.
Johan van den Heuvel (Teddy) built this diorama that incorporates several building techniques to give the impression of a wood-paneled study. Mr. Whiskers, the cat, is plotting to take over the world. Mine just nap.
My favorite element is probably the coffeemaker, though the bookshelves are a close second.
Okay, so I don’t know that this diorama by Mristoph Chonnaie (stenertje) is actually set on a moon made of yellow cheese, but it sure is delicious.
Take a closer look at the base and the fighters in the full photoset on Flickr.
Thanks for the tip, Rodney (we’re a bit behind right now).
I built this diorama with Donut, whom you may remember from our April Fools mock interview. Donut is actually a real person who’s indeed active online at Classic Castle and Eurobricks forums. I hope you enjoy our little project called The Last Samurai.
You can read the poem associated with the creation here.
Kevin Fedde (Crimson Wolf) knows that things are a bit safer in northern climes during a zombie outbreak.
I really like the contrast between the grey police station and the tan restaurant. The LEGO Universe panel on the top of the building is also a great detail.
Sometimes, the words we write for our blog posts can’t do justice to the wonderful LEGO creations we feature. Here’s Kevin (Legorevolution) in his own words:
The NSR (or New Space Reich) lost contact with the battle cruiser Andromeda a little over 2 light years ago. Since the vessel was exploring an uncharted sector of space, whatever they had mapped or come across was vital to our database and to the progression of our colonies. As a trained veteran in both military, technological, and scientific affairs I was natural chosen to find the ship and bring her and the crew home. However no training could have prepared me for the frightening discovery I have just made. The ship is in utter ruins- the crew all dead and seemingly infected with some sort of unknown agent that turns their skin tone green. Scouting out the lower hull of the ship so far has produced various wall murals written in blood. The most disturbing of which I have just found in one of the hangars spelling out ‘RUN’. Why RUN? The quietness is so eerie; all I can hear is myself breathing in my hardsuit. My god, what has happened here…
Seems appropriate to feature these two creations in the same post, since they capture very different sides of the same coin, but I found them within 24 hours of each other.
The first is a great detail-rich street scene by SlyOwl capturing a scene inspired by the film “Die Welle.” It’s apparently based on the American book “The Third Wave” by Ron Jones, and after-school special “The Wave” about a teacher trying to illustrate to his students how autocracy can take root anywhere and doing a bit too good a job of it. Definitely worth checking out the other angles and detailed deeplinks that SlyOwl has included.
This second creation, by Igor Makarov (Zeek), called Precinct 56 is a great take on the traditional LEGO police station sets, which have always struck me as too small. This is more fitting of a big city police headquarters and sure looks lite it’ll fit more than one cubicle, parking space and holding cell.
Christine (nortyspawn) built this lovely cafe for a collaborative layout by the BLBDC.
Click the photo below for links to several more buildings I was going to blog until I found them in one conveniently awesome photo:
I’m not quite ready to call it a trend, but if it is, I like it. More and more builders we’ve become familiar with for a specific style are trying new things. The latest to post something completely unexpected is Alex Eylar (Profound Whatever).
Alex’s Chateau Remarqué is the superfortress for the supervillain Dr. Hoodwink. A conference room, monorail, and remote control with big red button are just a few of the essential details Alex included in this creation.

I’m glad to see an addition to Mark Stafford‘s Cthulego series, which as implied by the name is a mix of Lovecraft and LEGO. This scene depicts some agents trying to reclaim a stolen artifact and is thwarted by demons from the beyond. So Mark, what the hell are those pink fairy things?
I have nothing useful to say about this lovely little diorama by Yvonne Doyle (YVD). It just makes me smile.
Via The Living Brick.
Kris Kelvin has concocted another great scene. This time it is based in a Hanseatic town, with a gorgeous Hansa trading vessel.
