This bust of the classic Terminator frame is incredibly detailed and wonderfully menacing. Martin Latta has done a most excellent job. While the actual Terminator is awesome, that base just makes it that much better and complements the build perfectly. This is one of those that I would like to own.
Many thanks to Tom Williamson for the heads up!
Matt De Lanoy (Pepa Quin) built Andy’s room in minifig scale – Toy Story minifig scale, that is. This magnificent build is a full 30″x30″. Scaled to real world sizes, that makes Andy’s room 16’x16′. That’s a pretty decently sized room!
It’s the details that make this build particularly impressive – and deceptive. Thankfully, Matt’s photographed some of the best parts of the room so we can get a good, up-close look at the details. Check the photos out, along with a toy’s eye view video, below the jump!
Andrew Lee (onosendai2600) has just posted a cool mecha that he calls “Fluffy Bunny.” While it certainly doesn’t look fluffy to me, it does have a bit of a resemblance to a bunny. I also suspect that he may have found some inspiration in artwork for the upcoming film Sucker Punch.
Whether Andrew was inspired by that art or not, he’s done a wonderful job. The ear-like antennae on the body of the mecha really add to the bunny feeling. He’s also used just light touch of pink (a rare color, to be sure), that adds a bit of character to the creation.
When I first saw the Crimson Permanent Assurance section of Monty Python’s Meaning of Life when I was a kid it simply blew my mind. This Cafe Corner standard version by gotoAndLego does the same.
It’s a pretty imposing structure and fairly close to the appropriate architectural features for the building. I would find this thing crewed by elderly clerks driven mad quite intimidating if it drifted past my office.
…until now. I loved Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon and this rendition by Mike Nieves is spot on. I especially like the menacing look of the eyes, but there’s a lot of dragon to love in this.
Fredoichi recently unveiled this sleek bust of the Caped Crusader. I really like the smooth, finished look of this build. Now it just needs a voice chip saying, “I’m Batman”.
Well, I’m way late on this one. I meant to post it here right away, but forgot. Absolutely no excuse for that. But better late than never.
Stitch is one of my all-time favorite Disney characters and Jordan’s sculpture is most excellent. From the stance of the character to the look on his face, from the use of the stickers on the ears (yes, they are official LEGO) to the use of black teeth for fingers, everything about this build meshes very well.
You can see more pictures at Brickshelf.
…but it’s a great idea nonetheless. Joel Baker decided that the rare white Boba Fett needed a white Slave 1. So, unlike most people on the internet, he decided to do something about it, rather just whine about how Lego doesn’t cater their individual whims. Way to go, Joel. You’re the man!
Now I want to see more monochromatic Star Wars ships.
Iain Heath celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first “Back To The Future” movie with builds of Marty McFly and Biff Griff Tannen…from the second movie. However, built with Iain’s usual flair for the awesome, these dudes invoke the true feel of the characters. Well played, Iain, well played indeed!
Let the movie quotes begin….
Brickshelf user Elex presents a sculpture of Miss Piggy on her motorcycle measuring 104 studs wide and 65 bricks tall. There’s a commentary page and a well-documented construction journal with detailed photos showing the building process. This is the most pink I’ve seen in a fan-built creation.
Jason Corlett‘s cat beast from 9 is has a very recognizable pose with spindly legs and sharp mechanical parts. The tan contrasts nicely with the grays.
Lee Jones (Doc069) recreates this iconic scene from the Matrix of Neo’s final battle with Smith. The scene is complete with 100 copies of Smith looking on from the rain-soaked backdrop.
Meanwhile, check out Lee’s 300 spartans. You’ve always wondered what that would look like, right?
