Another prolific, talented builder who deserves his own “roundup” post is Izzo. In addition to his series inspired by Cafe Corner (moving sidewalks, treads, and flyers), he’s been busy building great mecha:
And before that, a little bit of an “Ew!” factor with a flea and a weird blood-sucking machine:
You all remember Omicron Weekend by KeithLUG, right? I hope you do. Because its gone. Like, forever. Like giant, robot, Mecha-Godzilla gone…
Check out the carnage….
The Brothers Brick would like to extend our condolences to Mike, Ryan, and Keith (and, of course, the Monkey).
Is your Cafe Corner a bit too laid back? Too staid? Too colorful? Then mechanize that bad boy!!! Izzo did.
Oh, and in his somewhat more normal version, the sidewalks move and it’s always raining:
I hadn’t run across Markus Haindl‘s LEGO creations until I got an e-mail from him a few days ago. His latest mecha made checking out his Flickr photostream well worth my time!
Andrew Lee has been tinkering with this mecha for a while now, and this latest variant is reminiscent of Warhammer 40,000. The standard is extremely cool.
Izzo’s latest mecha is an update to his previous version of Ideon, from the anime series Space Runaway Ideon.
You can read more about Ideon on the sum total of all human knowledge, Wikipedia.
I’ve been busy building my own ApocaLEGO minifigs (to be followed at some point by vehicles and/or dioramas), so I’m rather behind on cool new ApocaLEGO that needs to be blogged.
In reverse chronological order (I think), Mark Stafford gets things going with “Oakwood Avenue: After the Zombie Apocalypse”:
Here’s “Post-apoc road battle” by Shadow Viking:
Alex Eylar combines steampunk and ApocaLEGO for his diorama, “Jekyll vs Hyde” (don’t miss his older Zombie Apocalypse):
Finally (and very belatedly), Bronson‘s excellent “Hellbringer”:
Reader “bedlam” reminds us that, back in the day, most mecha builders used minifig legs as hands. What I like so much about Izzo‘s latest mecha (and what I might not have noticed without the reminder from bedlam) is the left hand:
The feet and head are pretty cool too.
DARKSpawn just posted a really cool undeadish creature and it’s awesome! But, then, we expect that from him, don’t we?
Great job!
Adrian Florea presents a heavy infantry suit called Bosfor (named after the strait between Europe and Asia, frequently spelled Bosporus in English).
In the wake of the Transformers movie (and games), we see quite a few lego iterations of the robots. Adrian Drake’s Blackout is certainly one of the better. It looks great in both helicopter mode and bot mode:
Read about it on Adrian’s brickfrenzy.com or comment it on his flickr stream.
