I’ve admired Morgan19‘s minifigs ever since I noticed his great Firefly minifigs. The latest batch is a group of historical minifigs, entries for the Fine Clonier Historical Minifig Contest.
I might quibble with the “historical” nature of some of these, but it’s a great collection of minifigs, presented beautifully.
Brothers Brick reader Kevin Guoh sent us a link to his Flickr photostream a few weeks ago, and I promptly lost his message in our mountain of reader submission e-mail. :-( Among his creations is this great DJ console (and don’t miss his floor lamp). Sorry, Kevin! Better late than never?
Hey All,
I’m back from a self-inflicted hiatus/exile and just stumbled across this. Hope you all enjoy it!
While I haven’t heard of this builder before, X-Speed seems to specialize in miniland vehicles. Pretty nifty!
Taka Hamada‘s latest album cover should be immediately recognizable to fans of The Beatles. After all, haven’t we all wanted to live in a Yellow Submarine at some point in our lives?
Jeremy van Bedijk built and photographed the scene above to use as album art for Life Against Us a band in The Netherlands.
Classic-Castler Maedhros may not listen to the same music I listen to, but the minifig versions of his favorite bands are really rather cool.
The mohawk on this guy in Diary of Dreams is awesome:
Goth rockers Bauhaus:
Fields of the Nephilim:
And finally, Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes:
See all of Maedhros’ musical minifigs in his Brickshelf gallery.
I love building musical minifigs, but my taste in music generally runs to indie and alternative rock, and those bands pretty much all look alike in minifig form (white guys in T-shirts and blue jeans). Thankfully, I was chatting with Nelson Yrizarry and he suggested using Voldemort’s face for Alice Cooper. Hurray! :twisted:
How could I build a heavy metal rocker like Alice Cooper without building the quintessential artist of the genre? I couldn’t, so here’s Ozzy Osbourne (with an animal friend):
I’ve featured LEGO album art by Digger Digger Dogstar and minifig, I don’t think I’ve ever highlighted Taka Hamada’s extensive collection.
Pink Floyd’s The Division Bell (1994):
Mr. Big’s self-titled debut (1989):
Björk’s Medúlla (2004):
Thus said Paul McCartney on take 1 of “I’m Down” — the phrase that inspired the album title Rubber Soul, here recreated through the genius that is Digger Digger Dogstar:
Plastic soul indeed.
