No, we’re not blogging Lego pieces. Take a second look at these parts by Matija Grguric and you’ll see that these are much larger versions still made from Lego bricks.
Matija will be donating a few of these to Creations for Charity, where you can buy them in November (details to come). Check out what’s being donated by builders to this charity auction here, and don’t forget that you can take part and donate a MOC until December 1st!
Eric Harshbarger had made a Mega-MiniFig and I want it. However, this was a commission piece built for a toy store in Connecticut and they won’t let me even borrow it. But what a thing of beauty! Standing about 5 feet tall and using nearly 20,000 bricks, this fig is standing tall and living large.
It took me a moment to recognize what this sculpture by Tim Simon represents. I thought it was a spaceship or an explosion at first, but it’s actually a bullet shot through an apple! That’s definitely not something you see done in Lego each day.
Arthur Gugick‘s Taj Mahal model is central prop in an upcoming Australian film called Taj. The movie is about a father rebuilding a broken relationship with his daughter when they decided to make the Taj Mahal out of Lego. You can see a trailer that has brief scenes of the creation on Youtube.
That’s what you get when you make muffins out of Lego.

It’s a great space bug queen diorama, by Alex Fojtik (BrickFX). This is a truly immersive display, incorporating some great details. My favorite is the dripping slime, but I’ve also been known to love hexagons. The scattered space helmet eggs look great, and must have been quite a challenge to pose for different angled photos.
More than two years after I made The Contortion, I revisited the concept of interweaving spirals and made a very similar sculpture using different colors that are much lighter and more cheerful, reminiscent of a spring flower.
You can see the description video on Flickr.
I usually steer clear of multi-coloured brick-because-it’s-in-fashion art and design but I have to confess this particular boardroom table caught my eye. Not only is it genuinely made entirely of real LEGO (22k pieces of it no less) but there is no glue involved and a bunch of cute details including the client’s name.
As an added bonus the designers have included a 2-minute stop motion video of its creation down the bottom of the page.
Dave Shaddix likes to work to his own rulebook. In this case his rulebook told him to make three Kachinas: Angwusnasomtaka, Talavai and Palavitkuna. I love studs sideways sculpting.
For those wondering Dave has been kind enough to add a picture showing how it’s done.
Joel Baker constructed a sculpture of the scene from Toy Story where Sid pulls out Woody and Buzz at the claw crane. Say, if there were no glass, would you still have to pay and use the claw? Check out more views on Joel’s Flickr set.
HKLUG has posted a ton of excellent pictures from the 2010 Anime Festival on their Facebook page.
You should definitely take the time to check them out. The pictures posted here really caught me eye, but there are many, many more.
