Towns in the world of LEGO have everything cities in the real world do — police stations, fire engines, trains, hairdressers and veterinarians. Check out all the beautiful buildings and vehicles we’ve featured here on The Brothers Brick.

Holger Matthes’ Le Corbusier House

Holger Matthes presents a building in Stuttgart, Germany designed by architect Le Corbusier:

Back in the USSR

I believe one of the privileges of this blog is that you’re allowed to post your own stuff. I’d like to think this one would have made it without it being mine but you can be the judge(s) of that. As such I present a Moscow in the 80s diorama by me. I’ll spare the details here but would like to hear back from anyone who has visited Moscow to let me know how accurate I’ve managed to be.

I’m on the farm again

Misterzumbi is, in my opinion, the undisputed king of wheeled vehicles. The picture is the link.

EDIT:
And since this is still on the front page I won’t make a new post for this beauty…

Gospel train

Well first I’ll say a hello to Brothers Brick readers out there. I’ve been invited to cover trains and virtual LEGO creations (raytraced, rendered but definitely not real) for the blog. I’m very new to this whole blogging thing having started my own blog a bit over a week ago and you probably won’t get many words out of me usually but I’m pretty sure I know a good creation when I see one and I guess that’s what you’re here to see.

To copy-paste my profile on the Brothers Brick “I’m a builder with a short attention span and a lot of virtual bricks. I’m probably most known as a train builder and was involved in the creation of LEGO set 10183 (the Hobby Train Box) but I do a lot of other stuff too. I’m also a member of the LDraw SteerCo and a webmaster for the site.”

Anyway, on to the good stuff…

When I was just starting out building properly with LEGO (as opposed to the mucking around I did as a kid and young adult) the train builder who inspired me the most was James Mathis. I’ve since had the honour of working with James on a couple of projects as well as the Hobby Train Box. As well as being one of my favourite train builders James has the added advantage of allowing me to introduce both my areas of ‘research’: trains and virtual LEGO.

And to give you something brand spanking new (well almost) I’d also like to show off Andreas Weissenburg’s Bird.

And I think I’ll leave my inaugaral post at that. Hope it’s all worked OK.

LEGO 10182 Cafe Corner speed build video

Yay! Two days ago I came home from PoliSci and found a rather large package from Connecticut waiting for me on the doorstep! I’m still busy taking detailed pictures and writing up a review, but in the meantime enjoy this time laspe video of me building the greatest LEGO set ever. Over three hours compressed into five and a half minutes.

Chuck Rides Again

Chuck Citrin is beginning to reveal himself as a rather talented young builder. We’ve featured his space and mecha creations here on The Brothers Brick before, but I think this is the first Town creation we’ve highlighted from him. Here’s his John Deere tractor:

From the other side, without farmer-dude:

Steamship Möwe by Andreas Weissenburg

If this is just “part of a longer harbour project” by Andreas Weissenburg, Malle Hawking may have some competition in the large-scale maritime model realm:

It’s not easy being green...

…unless you’ve got big guns! Classic-Castler Magnus has recently posted a bunch of military-themed MOCs, including several armored humvees and tanks. Gotta love the green/dark green/dark gray camouflage.

Citroen DS by MisterZumbi

Via Polish LEGO blog Klocki Lego dla dorosłych, here’s MisterZumbi’s adorable five-wide Citroen DS:

Naturally, MisterZumbi created some fashionable Parisians to go with the classic French car:

Check out that purse! And I’m no fan of real-life poodles, but what minifig Parisian would be complete without a brick-built pooch?

So, when did Fabuland become awesome?

When rupi built a chopper from a Fabuland bike, that’s when!

Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki/Tojo by HIEN

Brickshelfer HIEN has updated one of his many World War II aircraft, the Nakajima Ki-44 (Wikipedia link). Named “Shoki” by the Japanese Army Air Force and “Tojo” by the Allies, the aircraft was used to intercept B-29 bombers:

Arvo’s Seat 131

Brickshelfer Arvo has been posting work-in-progress pictures of his Fiat Seat 131 sedan, and the car finally looks to be complete:
