I thought I’d try extending my troop of goblins from 7036 Dwarves’ Mine using the mandrake root heads from 5378 Hogwarts™ Castle
.
When I finished switching around the legs to make the goblins, I realized that the “leftover” legs would look great with the Clone Scout Trooper torsos I picked up at BrickCon, resulting in a batch of space Marines:
…equals the VX-999 – Space Pirate Lair! Dennis Coh emerges out of his year-long building hiatus and presents an innovative cross-genre creation depicting a pirate’s hideout.
Note the ship near the docking port – it is a micro version of Dennis’ Izanami’s Revenge pirate ship. We look forward to more great works from you!
Mike van Leeuwen (aka skywalker01 on Brickshelf) completed a 104 stud long SHIP called the ITS (Interstellar Transport SHIP). Mike described that the ship “transports people and cargo from the Lunar Space Station to Alpha Centauri Space Station. The people will be in a state of hybernation when they make the journey. The SHIP will fly for several months to reach Alpha Centauri.”
Check out the intricate and detailed engine. The yellow curved slopes and the gray shovels form such perfect circular shapes and complement each other well.
Jarek (aka Jerac) experiments with hexagonal construction and comes up with an unique design for an alien ship called the Hax.
Check out that beautiful symmetry and the well-placed golden half sphere in this photo! The technique that produces the hex design is quite fascinating as well. Well done Jerac
Nnenn is always busy expanding his evergrowing collection of uniquely built space creations. The past fortnight has seen creations from minis to mechas and to minifig-scale fighters. Check out his most recent, the LV-15 superiority fighter:
Next are some minis built in the classic space themes:

Following up is a classic Nnenn-styled micro star-fighter, the UMV-22b “Enmity,” swooshing in with blazing colors:
Finishing up the two-week roundup is Nnenn’s latest mecha, the Veechak M55 close combat unit. How do you formulate all those names Nnenn?
Vitus Barth has created an amazingly detailed and realistic urban industrial diorama a month ago. It’s better that this masterpiece gets blogged late than never, and who would’ve thought that this is only his first large LEGO diorama!
Regular readers of The Brothers Brick should recognize Nannan’s name from all the weird and wonderful creations of his that we’ve featured here.
So it’s a pleasure and an honor to welcome Nannan as a contributor to The Brothers Brick! Looking through his Brickshelf gallery (where you may know him as “a-tree”) and Flickr photostream, you’ll see that we’ve missed far too many of his excellent creations. Since we encourage our contributors to blog their own builds, problem solved!
Nannan is a builder who isn’t afraid to use a little bley, and his surreal creations are like nobody else’s:
A cool bonus of the fact that Nannan has been featured in BrickJournal (in Issue 9) is that we also know what he looks like! Here he is with one of his signature alien beasties:
Welcome to the team, Nannan!
Mike Yoder‘s pirate fleet is growing — in more ways than one! Starting with the smallest ship on the left, Mike has increased the size of his vehicles with each new ship. My favorite is his newest — the big one in the middle.
And I love the crew:
It’s been more than a year since we’ve blogged something by Mike Psiaki, but I think it’s been worth the wait.
Here’s Mike’s World War II era X-wing:
And his tiltrotor:
Multi-theme builder Aaron Andrews says that this sleek fighter is his first space craft in 20 years. Talk about dormant skills!
The elite Yihaggothan Flight Commando leads the Yihaggothan Imperium into battle against the “frail” human horde. Human Marines, fighting a desparate battle against the alien invaders, have nicknamed this commando the “Tse Tse Trooper,” due to the buzzing sound emmitted by his hover-pack.
Witness the “Tse Tse Trooper” buzzing around in the upper-left corner of this photo:
