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.
If any of our readers have information on the actual builders, please let us know so that we can give credit where credit is due. Thanks!
Ralph Savelsberg (Mad physicist) has built a colorful and complex model of the Scania R500 recovery truck, featuring remote-controlled drive and steering. I love the half plate inset on the sides and the colored lines that run across the vehicle. As with Ralph’s style, you can see the exposed studs on the top that contributes to the sculptural quality of this model.
Check out the video to see the truck in action.
You’re more than welcome to do that, thanks. Any hero who’s story survives the millennium in written and oral tradition to be immortalized in classic Greek potter and Lino‘s work of LEGO certainly doesn’t need to be reminded there’s someone better than him. Especially when he’s holding a spear, shield, and quite clearly knows how to use them.
I, along with everyone else, await your response, Guy.
Our old friends at V&A Steamworks have gone into the small arms business in a big way. If your steampunk army needs a shootie/zappy thing, this is it. 100% Lego too….
Here is one that I missed. TKH did a superb job of capturing the saucy awesomeness that is Jessie.
Thanks to The Living Brick for catching this.
David Pickett (fallentomato) presents his best brickfilms animation showing Lego bricks morphing into different objects. Each change from one object to another consists of many brick-built transition states that are shown for only a fraction of a second, and the results are well worth it. Check out more descriptions and behind-the-scenes info about the video on David’s website.
Iain Heath is a building fool — he’s created a myriad of iconic pieces of some of Hayao Miyazaki‘s greatest films. But now he’s gone and built the master himself:
All of these are scheduled to make an appearance at BrickCon, as part of the Big in Japan display!
Romão and his students built the Window of the Chapter House (Janela do CapÃtulo) at the Convent of the Order of Christ in Portugal. At first I didn’t know what it was and thought of it as a biomechanical sci-fi sculpture similar to the brick-built Li II. I’m happy to have found out otherwise and learn some history in the process.
Graphic designer Eric (edubl31216) recently posted several tasty LEGO models of food. The can of Pepsi and hotdog are my favorites.
See all of Eric’s LEGO food on Flickr, including several shots of the building techniques he used to make them.
Thanks for the tip, Bruce!
I’ve been enjoying multiplayer gameplay in Halo: Reach for some time now. I just can’t get enough of the jetpack, and my enjoyment is enhanced by the fact that I’m not quite as terrible a player as I am in Halo 3.
While I’ve been busy trying not to get beat down too frequently, Shawn Snyder has been building this awesome Spartan.
See a ton more pictures in the full gallery on MOCPages.
Partially inspired by the LEGO Minotaurus game, Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) started building micro mythical monsters almost two months ago and just hasn’t stopped. Each incorporates good micro work and angles, but my favorite monsters have at least one fantastically creative use of elements.
The first is Matt’s personal favorite, a Harpy.
His second is a Chinese dragon that has an impressive head and lower jaw.
