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.

Rocko gets whimsical and naughty

If you’ve seen some of the flip side of Rocko‘s castle dioramas, you’ll know he sometimes builds things that make you smile or laugh. Checkout this sled chase for example.

This next creation does not need any explanation, but it may be interesting to know that despite many efforts, Rocko can never make it past the K in real life.

Skellies+Dyna-Gloves=Humans Lose

Dave Lartigue (Flickr) puts some experimental weapons in the hands of the Undead, with devastating consequences for the Crown Knights.

Now witness the firepower of these fully operational Dyna-Gloves!

Kcaster doesn’t like snipers

Nick Dean (aka Kcaster) shows in a vignette how to deal with snipers, by taking them out with a bang! Sorry Camping Carl, you’ve been found.

Mmm zombies

Who never knew the dead can be tasty for some? Christophe Bongay seems to be working on a rather fascinating creation of a zombie stew. Check out some of his other whimsical scenes here.

Micro floating castle

Mumu‘s entry for the Original Model Contest was Mont Saint Michel, a microscale castle in the air. Imagine the view from up there; it must be great.

Walls walls and walls

Not enough walls in life? Shannon Young presents more walls spanning various themes both common and whimsical. Check out his three galleries here, here, and here.

My favorite is the one called 70’s Night, it’s simply stylish and colorful.

Rocko throws the baby out with the bath water

Rocko borrows an ingenious idea from FBTB member 11numb to create a funny little vignette. The pouring water is also great, but the combination of these two interesting techniques blends into the background thanks to the hilarious subject matter.

Bloody shooting at the police station

Bigdaddy Nelson‘s recent vignette depicts a gangster’s raid on a police station. Scarface McDougal leaves a clean sweep across the front steps with his Tommy Gun. The gory effects are well portrayed.

Nuala, magess of Earth

I honestly can’t tell one humanoid Bionicle creation from another (sorry), but the life-like foliage in this vignette of “Nuala, magess of Earth” by Brickshelfer MuffinToa is pretty darn cool. The integration of SYSTEM pieces with Bionicle is what sets this apart — particularly in the green canopy of the tree.

Thanks for the tip, reader Joey!

In space, you can’t hear the mushrooms growing

Nelson Yrizarry is on a vignette-building roll. His latest depicts what happens to a interstellar mycologist runs afoul of some exo-fungi.

Could these nasty mushrooms be related to a certain spacey pest?

Human Transporter of the post-apocalyptic landscape

Treaded wheels, check. Cannon, check. Gun-toting human, check. Auto-balance gyroscope, check. From the twisted mind of Rocko emerges a Segway capable of tearing up the wasteland of the future.

While we’re at it, remember the nice lady in this scene? Here’s the bike she was originally going to be riding:

Oh yeah.

Crazy mafia murders

Shannon and Nelson present two murder scenes, coincidentaly at the same time with the victim laying in the same position. What’s going on in their minds?

Note the cool broken glass effect in Nelson’s vignette.
