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.

Gargantuan dioramas

Wilson Raska displays two enormous dioramas on Brickshelf for the first time. The first is called the Crown of Asgard, depicting what looks like the landing of a fantasy-tech flying craft on a clearing by the cliffs. The most studding feature of this creation in my opinion is the dynamic crafting of the cliffs.

Next up is the Tauros Military Outpost. While the creation my appear as chaotic from the scattering of the light gray and dark gray bricks, what’s noteworthy is the overall structure of the work, which depicts an elaborate system of stone balconies.

Cleanup on aisle 3

Jarek‘s first little dio depicts an uncanny accident involving a forklift and what appears to be a dangerous nuclear waste bomb. This can’t be good, but what is good is the forklift model, which is so nicely constructed.

Flush dreams

I came across the works of Brickshelf user Devastator today, who has a taste for the bizzarre and macabre ranging from torture chambers, minifig executions and hangings, the gratuitous use of tentacles, and sheer randomness like mecha Pikachu. You may be making some connections at this point, but it is unlikely this builder and I cross-referenced each other’s works because his gallery predates mine while I’ve not known about him until today. So my question to ponder is: how does one’s mind get wired like so?

Check out Devastator’s most recent work called the Delirious Diorama. The beautifully crafted and accurate Chinese character means “bathroom.”

Hmm, bathroom.

Dwarf’s gate

Aaron (Darkspawn) enters the CC battles contest with an impressive entry. None shall pass the gate into the Dwarf’s mines, not even when a Necromancer with an army of skeletons and winged beasts.

Science Fantasy

Mark Stafford‘s invention of the theme called science fantasy looks like a combination of castle, steampunk, and science fiction. The result is a city called Sproket. The scene depicts the city plaza under invasion by pirates while guards and citizens respond in defense.

Check out the two walkers from the scene.

Not gollum, golem

Texture, action, creatures, thatch and falling minifigs. There’s really nothing to not like about Adrian Florea‘s (Olog) latest diorama. I think I’ll let it speak for itself.

Dwarfs, orcs, hobbits, and more bathing babes

Surely, this can only be the work of Rocko. Check out his latest castle diorama. In addition to the round towers and the neat hobbit hole, this scene has an underground section full of surprising details.

The age of ApocaLEGO is upon us.

As Andrew said, ApocaLEGO is the new Steampunk (I’m working on a diorama myself – my first large LEGO creation in over a year). Fantastic new creations are popping up, including this beautiful diorama by Legohaulic.

Apocalypse, now?

Tyler C – or Legohaulic, as he is more commonly known in these circles – have created this fantastic post-apocalyptic diorama:

From the broken statue, to the bullet holes near the dead body, all the way to the mech, the feel is just great. It takes a long time to take it all in. Go put on a pot of tea and take a few deep breaths, then check out Tyler’s flickr or brickshelf.

Done with that? Great. Then you can move straight on to Spook’s post apocalyptic Crab Tank for another mind-blower:

These both look cobbled together with whatever their inventors had lying around. I love the genre already.

Jon Furman combines cool post-processing on his photo with an excellent rendition of the scene in which Locke discovers the Hatch in J.J. Abrams’ “Lost”.

Springfield Tire Fire by Adrian Drake

Among many striking landmarks in the town of Springfield, (immortalized in The Simpsons) is The Tire Fire. Its hauntingly beautiful, ethereal plumes are visible as far away as neighboring Shelbyville. Adrian Drake immortalizes this Modern Marvel in plastic form:
