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.

Playin’ Pooh Sticks, Troll-Style!

Sly Owl just posted a peaceful diorama of two friends and their game. Having actually played Pooh Sticks myself, I can vouch for the mind-numbing addictiveness of the game. Awesome job, Owl, gotta love Pooh Sticks!

Remember to look for more Zombie mayhem at BrickCon in October!

It isn’t always “Happily ever after”

Nolnet shows us that life often has unexpected consequences. Kissing a frog never seemed like a good thing to me anyway.

Best use of a SpongeBob fig I’ve seen yet.

Flowers on a string

Flickr user Kiolden‘s vignette is worth highlighting for a very clever technique used. Can you see what it is? It’s flowers on a string for the smoke from the rocket! This is a very useful and a much cheaper alternative to the ice-cream smoke technique invented by Mark Stafford.

Tentacle monster + schoolgirl = Legohaulic’s disturbing vignette

Things are unlikely to end well in this vignette by Tyler:

Note the suckers on the tentacle, as well as the Lowell-Lambrecht sphere from which the unlucky girl is suspended.

Summer ends, and the big evil school bus eats you

Matt S. shows what happens at the end of summer, which involves finding oneself on the big bad yellow bus once again. But I don’t remember my school bus having sharp teeth that chomped on children. Oh how times change.

The harvester of Primal Bot souls

Mechanical anthropologists have long speculated about the afterlife of the Primal Bots captured on film by field researcher Rong Yiren.

Now we have the answer in this photo titled “Damnation!”

Yes, but where do good Primal Bots go when their power sources run out?

At peace in Mister oo7’s Zen garden

As a continuation to his tea house, Nathan has posted a lovely Zen garden.

The beauty of the leaning tree is likely to distract those seeking to clear their minds, while the perfect torii evokes thoughts of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism — but we won’t go there. ;-)

And now for something completely different. A Wells, Fargo & Co. overland express and assay office:

The power of life

Although the studs-sideways road is a fairly common sight in post-apocalyptic dioramas these days, Moritz Nolting goes two studs deep in this smaller scene to add greater detail, including the first signs of life:

Bokk in the land of dreams

Curzon79 suggests that when a troll has nightmares, he sees horrible, beautiful flowers and nasty, pretty butterflies:

Fitting a bed around the troll must certainly have been an interesting challenge, and those large brick-built flowers are great.
