Taking science to questionable bounds
Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) presents two unusual creations dealing with the deviant wonders of science. His newest work is a Frankensteined version of the Slave I from Star Wars (built for Reasonably Clever’s Spooky Star Wars Contest).
His other recent work is a mech owned by the twisted Dr. Kringe. You can now see a video clip of the builder discussing this creation on LAMLtv!
Announcing the Reasonably Clever Spooky Star Wars Contest [w00t!]
Having just announced winners for the Brick Science contest, Reasonably Clever is now co-hosting a new contest with TK 1420.
The Spooky Star Wars Contest challenges you to build a spookified Star Wars vehicle, a scene, an impulse-size creation, or the death of Jar-Jar Binks. (I’m sure we’ve all dreamed of ways that would go down.)
Judges include Steve Sansweet and Mary Franklin from Lucasfilm, as well as TK 1420 and Chris Doyle.
You can win some out-of-circulation LEGO Star Wars sets, so what’re you still doing reading this? Get building!
Ponda Baba
The indomitable Mike Crowley is on a roll. He has blessed us with yet another incredible Star Wars miniland character. This time its Ponda Baba and his trick arm.
He’s done it again...
The extremely awesome and prolific Mike Crowley has built two more Star Wars characters!
I give you Muftak and Kabe:
Rebel attack – an all out LEGO Star Wars battle in microscale!
Tim G (Roguebantha) has been working lately on a microscale Star Wars battle of epic proportions. It’s all come down to this action-packed diorama featuring some of the best LEGO Star Wars mini models around. Click on the pictures below for the Flickr gallery, or you can check out the Brickshelf gallery here.
Check out the smoke effect on this crashing X-wing, which is cleverly supported by the laser beam from the turret.
Utinni!

Dodonna-Blissex RZ-1 A-wing interceptor by Lino Martins
Despite Lord of the Rings, despite the miserable prequels, and despite Battlestar Galactica, there’s still a part of me that still can’t get over Star Wars. I’ve joked that my Star Wars geek lives in my limbic system.
Apparently, Lino Martins‘ Star Wars geek is much more deeply embedded, in his medulla oblongata. With this fantastic large-scale A-wing, Lino lets his geek run wild:
The clean, rounded lines of the A-wing are notoriously difficult to replicate in LEGO, but at this scale, Lino has been able to include critical details like the angled tail fins and the gap in the nose.
Wearable Boba Fett costume built from LEGO
I’ve been keeping an eye on Simon‘s LEGO Boba Fett costume project for a while (and yet somehow missed his great LEGO Star Wars minifigs along the way), so I was very pleased to see the completed armor.
This may be the coolest homage ever to the beloved bounty hunter with only two four lines in Empire Strikes Back:
That’s right, Simon has built a complete Boba Fett costume entirely from LEGO (except the jump suit and cape, of course). The outfit includes a helmet, jet pack, chest plate, and blaster. Amazing stuff!
