Vignettes are like the haiku of the LEGO world. Usually built on a base 8 studs wide by 8 studs deep, vignettes show a little scene or a moment in time. But like written poetry, there’s plenty of variation on the basic theme.

GO MINIMAN GO Photo Contest ends October 31

Okay, Brothers Brick readers, our GO MINIMAN GO Photo Contest ends in less than a week, on October 31!

Ricardo Silva (evildead from Klocki) has submitted “Go Miniman Panic Go!” — in which “science-fiction turns into reality”:

Things go downhill for the minifigs in Rupi‘s second entry:

Thanks for all the great entries so far, everyone!

Reminder: Don’t forget to let us know you’ve entered, and be sure to include what category your entry is for. ;-)

Chandler believes in Harvey Dent

Chandler (obxcrew) takes on Batman nemesis and former White Knight Harvey Dent in a series of five vignettes.

In his first vig, Chandler explores Harvey’s origins as Two-Face:

Each vignette includes great details and minifig customization, like the safe deposit boxes and two-face himself in this bank scene:

Check out all five vignettes in Chandler’s I Believe in Harvey Dent photoset on Flickr.

GOGOGOLEM

Teikjoons Golem

After winning his freedom, Earth Golem went into business for himself, starting GOGOGOLEM Professional Movers, specializing in the relocation of castles, stadiums, shopping malls, skyscrapers, office blocks, parking garages, nuclear power stations, hotels, churches, temples, hospitals, swimming pools, apartment buildings, restaurants and factories.

I really don’t need to say anything more about Teikjoon‘s latest vignette.

Our previous statement suggesting that we would not monitor this chamber was an outright fabrication.

Harrison sends Chell through a series of tests in this vignette inspired by Portal:

Alice’s Adventures in Alex Eylar’s LEGO Wonderland

Alex Eylar (Flickr) has built a series of scenes that reinterpret Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland with a decidedly modern twist.

Here’s the quote on which the scene above is based:

She was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

To see several more scenes from Alex’s LEGO Wonderland, check out his page on MOCpages or his Flickr photostream.

Do all frogs go to heaven? Joris Blok believes they do.

Joris Blok‘s little vignette is both funny and touching. When you ran over that poor frog while driving through the Okefenokee last June, is this what happened afterward?

The placid waters of Shannon Ocean’s seas

We’ll end our nautically themed evening on a more peaceful note, with a gorgeous coral reef scene by Shannon Ocean:

That brick-built hammerhead shark is truly fantastic, as are the variety of other undersea flora and fauna (including skeletons as bleached coral).

The recently late Commodore Bainbridge was a man of tradition

Aaron “DARKspawn” Andrews sends forth the Imperial Navy’s Commodore Bainbridge to certain doom:

Notice how placing bricks on their sides has allowed Aaron to “float” various items in the water. Achieving a similar effect, he demonstrates that carrying a cannon in a rowboat isn’t such a bright idea:

Konrad Zuse and his Z3, built in LEGO by Moritz Nolting

In 1941, Konrad Zuse built his Z3, the world’s first “Turing-complete” computer. (That’s four years before ENIAC.)

In this vignette for the Reasonably Clever Brick Science contest, Moritz Nolting puts Zuse in front of his shiny new computing machine:

What lies beyond death

Shannon Ocean portrays the process of letting go and the chaos that lies beyond death. If what Shannon shows in his vignette is true, then I’ll be going to a world with endless colorful LEGO bricks after I die, but I’m sure that’s not the case presented here.
