“He made his name in this killing game, he’s the one they call Greenbeard”

If any of you get that reference without looking it up, I’ll be shocked. Regardless, Chris Malloy considerably raised the bar in Forbidden Cove’s Seedpart challenge with this piratical sculpture. Chris is one of my favorite builders out there and he hit this one out of the park. Malloy definitely has skillz!

This ain’t your Mummy’s Sewing Machine.

This is Monster’s Machine and don’t you forget it. I can’t say that I would fancy wearing clothes made from mummy wrappings, but to each their own. Matt has really been turning out the creations lately and I’m loving it.

It’s all just a facade

Chris McVeigh gives us this wearable self-portrait. It is always amazing to me what a top-notch builder can accomplish with so little.

LEGO Pineapple Grenade

This pineapple grenade by Nick Jensen is truly a blast. I have a thing for 1:1 Lego weapons and this one is a beauty. I don’t think I’ve ever commented on the fine, good looks of a grenade but there is a first time for everything.

I am George 3D

LEGO seem to have some sort of viral marketing thing going on called I am George. Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) decided that George looked a little flat and made George 3D. A very clever reinterpretation.

Something with which to capture life–LEGO style

I appreciate a creation that looks like it’s truly made of brick, and has that feel of something created out of something else. Then there are creations that you have to do a double-take to make sure that yes, you really did just see that, and yes, it is in fact made of brick. Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) and his antique Kodak camera made me do just that.

This just captures the look and feel of a classic, antique piece of photographic history. I expect it to function like a camera, and I expect the exposure to look fabulous and clear and in that old-timey sepia-tone.

Jaw dropping. Seriously. I just couldn’t pass it by.

Thanks, Tommy, for the heads up!

Portal 2’s Chell and companion cube in Lego

Tyler (Legohaulic) built Chell and a companion cube from Portal 2 to go along with his Lego Atlas and P-Body.

3LUG Presents: King Over the Children of Pride

Another BrickFair has passed (Nannan posted a nice wrapup), and that means another joint science fiction display by 3LUG. For those who aren’t aware, 3LUG is made up of myself and Nick Kappatos. This year, we once again made use of an utter abundance of green bricks (one shouldn’t let such resources go to waste). We also tried to move away from our growing trend of crashed space ships.

3LUG Presents- King Over the Children of Pride01

This display was only complete for a couple of days during BrickFair, and the components have since retired to our separate homes. Hopefully, the diorama is as fun to look at as it was to build. We tried to add enough details and action to keep kids entertained when viewing the display, because their reactions make it worthwhile.

You -.-. .- .-.. .-.. . -.. ?

I’ve been reading about Samuel F. B. Morse in David McCullough’s latest book, The Greater Journey, in Morse’s less known artist role, so it pleases me to no end to see that Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) has added a Morse Key to his ongoing series of 19th century antiques and inventions.

LEGO Morse Key by monsterbrick

There’s something to be said about such a deceptively simple looking creation of such an unusual subject. Well executed as alway, Monster.

Conan O’Brian shows off Nathan Sawaya sculpture

It’s always nice to see our little hobby get some broader exposure, so it was great to see Nathan Sawaya‘s sculpture of Conan O’Brian‘s superhero alter ego “The Flaming C” on the show the other night, but Andy Richter deserved his own LEGO homage, too. Hilarity ensues.

Remote controlled LEGO R2-D2 sculpture

Sculptures are rarely motorized due to their size, and the fact that most people build them mainly for aesthetics. This LEGO R2-D2 by Ickelpete features movement and other functions. I wonder if it can hack into the Death Star? Check out the video.

You rang?

This Victorian phone by Matt Armstrong is a thing of beauty and a joy forever…or something like that. I normally hate phones, but I’ll make an exception for this one.
