Noddy’s Park Miejski would make a great addition to a LEGO town. Here you can find plenty of good details including a sandbox, billboard, and a butterfly-shaped pond. Check out more details or see the gallery for some overview shots.

Wait. Who exactly let Keith in?
I’m extremely pleased to announce that Keith Goldman has joined The Brothers Brick as our resident Columnist.
Keith is one of those LEGO fans of near-mythical proportions. Having met Keith in person, I can report that he stands nine feet four inches tall (that’s twelve meters for you Canadians), and is able to levitate his entire LEGO collection with his mind. Despite his telekinetic abilities, Keith has four arms (six metric). To fit in better with mere mortals, Keith is able to change size and shape at will.
Here’s a photo of Keith (center) with his coterie of adherents, better known as KeithLUG — yes, the man has his own LEGO Users Group:
Keith is perhaps best known for his bloated dioramas, including The Omicron Weekend, built with one third of all LEGO bricks in the Western Hemisphere by a division from the US Army Corp of Engineers over the course of a six month period. Naturally, Keith directed the troops remotely with his mind.
Keith is also a LEGO Ambassador from 2008 until whenever he feels like it, bringing order to the LEGOverse (and MOCPages in particular).
As a Columnist for The Brothers Brick, Keith will apply his “oratorical tradition of uninhibited or unbridled commentary” to semi-regular editorials on LEGO-related topics. Hey may also deign to grace us with his own creations from time to time.
Without further ado, please welcome Keith Goldman to The Brothers Brick!
Japanese tea house by Mister oo7
With cherry blossoms, a waterfall, serene pond, and simple, elegant architecture, Nathan‘s Japanese tea house is an excellent example of the Japanese aesthetic ideal:
The tea house also has a lovely interior:
Helm’s Deep
Bryan Hanonymous ,aka The Eggplant Wizard, relives the battle of Helm’s Deep in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings captured beautifuly in LEGO.
The Great Mediocro
We present you front row seats to see the Great Mediocro’s special performance brought to you by Shannon Young – hilarity ensued.
Some of Corran101’s animals are more equal than others
I first read George Orwell’s Animal Farm as a child, long before learning about the complex allegory of historical references (such as Snowball‘s representation of Leon Trotsky). When I read it again in college, a whole new dimension opened on the page.
Harrison uses BrickForge animals to illustrate a crucial scene in the book:
Beyond the Sky
My latest contribution to the post-apocalypse theme is a diorama depicting a desolated scene where one man has remained on these grounds to construct a machine that will lead to salvation. But as time progresses, hope is about to turn into a deeply disturbing discovery. Find out what happened by reading the short story on MOCpages.
This creation is also my entry for the ApocaLEGO Picking up the Pieces Contest on Flickr that ends on July 31st. There’s still more than two weeks left to paricipate!
Rocko’s typical village
One of our favorite castle builders Rocko presents another example of his typical work, featuring atypical things such as slithering tentacles in the village well. But for you builders out there interested in atypical techniques, check out the way Rocko incorporated a diagonal house into the standard studs-up base. I believe the magic was the right placement of tiles to cover up the inevitably misaligned edges.
Tim Goddard sends in the clones
Tim Goddard adds a new microscale LEGO Star Wars diorama to his Mustaneer set with this great scene from the Clone Wars:
The brick-built smoke effects are great — especially where the laser beams rake across the ground. Tim’s microscale vehicles always good, but I love the red-white-and-blue Republic Gunship.
Exploring planet Nidoria
Flickr user Chrispockster makes a diorama depicting a retro space landing on the fictional planet Nidoria. Some highlights include the organic alient plant life and the interesting color choice for the planet’s surface, which I think might just be plain yellow shaded dark during the photography process. The final result looks great.
Attack of the Primal Bots!
Rong Yiren has continued his primal bot series with a couple of action-packed dioramas.
Primal Bot Melee:
Jabberwocky Surprise:
I’m loving these little guys.
Row, row, row your boat...
…gently down the stream to the Fabuland Riverbank. SlyOwl’s newest creation is an incredible piece of eye candy. From the flowing river to the autumnal tree, from the exotic cheeses to the lightup fireplace, this creation is bursting with whimsical details.
