What’s inside a LEGO brick?

According to flickr user Tikitikitembo, there’s a whole city in there. This awesome microscale municipality fits neatly into the bowels of a brick-built 2×4. The blue lining on the box is a touch that works magnificently, and there are lots of neat pieces in the structures, ranging from the super old-school to the brand new.

Hylian Shield: +5 to Awesomeness

Fans of the Legend of Zelda will immediately recognize the Hylian Shield, a must have when crossing through the Goron Mines. Remi Gagne (Bolt of Blue) has masterfully recreated the Twilight Princess version. The shield emblems are spot on and brilliantly executed.

Waggly waggly fishy fish

Fish

Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) has been fairly quiet lately (relatively speaking) so I was happy to notice this unusual fish sculpture in my photostream. I was then very excited to notice that it waggles. Too cool.

Don’t Play With Your Food

But contrary to what your mother told you, some food is meant to be played with, as Matt Armstrong demonstrates with these cunningly crafted crops. From green onions to broccoli and avocados, Matt’s got your organic palate covered.

Yoshimitsu

Andrew Lee (onosendai2600) builds one big bad mean looking samurai.

He says it is because every good guy needs a worthy opponent from time to time…well those weren’t his exact words.

Rolls Royce Trent 1000 Engine in LEGO

Ed Diment & others at Bright Bricks are apparently responsible for this half scale model of the Rolls Royce engine used in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The model is comprised of over 152,000 pieces and was designed using actual CAD plans of the real thing. Weighing in at 677 lbs. (307 kg) it is only a fraction of the 1.25 tons for the actual engine.

ITV News also has a video on the build.

Big thanks to Stijn for the heads up.

Poseidon

We have already blogged Paul Hetherington’s (Brickbaron) beautiful Atlantis model, and now it turns out that it was actually only a WIP of even larger and more impressive creation. Poseidon is built for Vancouver Lego Club‘s Mythology exhibit at the Surrey Museum, running July through to September 15th 2012.

Creamsicle: A refreshing taste of summer.

Is there anything Bruce Lowell (bruceywan) can’t make out of Lego Bricks? Again Bruce masterfully captures another iconic everyday object, and it looks delicious. I love the little touches, like the ice cream oozing out a bit at the bottom by the stick.

The Curious Incident of the Chicken in the Night-Time

I’ll be honest, I’m not exactly sure what the story is behind this new creation by Barney Main (SlyOwl). I am sure, however, that it’s an amazing build. The level of detail is fantastic, and the household objects are rendered in LEGO perfectly. The chicken is full of great part usage and details, and the expression on its face is fantastic.

I like-ah this Leica

H.Y. Leung (Mr.Attacki) appears to be relatively new on flickr, however, a quick Google search reveals that he has been on MOCpages for a while longer. But one thing for sure, these fantastic creations don’t appear to be getting the attention they deserve!!

These are two of my favourites, but be sure to click through the rest as well.

The Power of Freedom: Iraq

Mike Doyle (!snap!) has just posted a rather amazing piece of art. The depressing and horrifying subject matter of this piece is almost intensified by the choice of medium…LEGO is after all associated with innocence and happiness.

I will let the viewer interpret and reflect on its meaning on their own.

LEGO bookend for LEGO books

When I first saw this bookend by Deborah Higdon I was suitably delighted by the cute design and well-crafted microscale train. And then I noticed the book.
