I can see clearly now
This transparent castle by Ivan Angeli is quite eye-catching. I’ve seen all-transparent castles before but the shapes and contours of this one are unique and the lighting is very well-done.
Teensy NASA Space Shuttle blasts into my heart
Looking over their photostream, I think we’ve blogged everything Sean & Steph Mayo have built over the past several months, so why stop now? This is the smallest NASA Space shuttle built from LEGO that I’ve run across, but it may be my favorite.
The LEGO Castle helmet standing in for the top of the External Tank is pure genius.
If Caterpillar Made Spaceships
I like to think they’d look something like this. Well, that is, if Cat were literally run by caterpillars. In any case, this is an awesomely original take on a space freighter by flickr user Lord Pappadhum. The unique shape is definitely the highlight here, but it’s also worth noting the huge number of colors he’s managed to incorporate without making the ship look unnaturally busy. Also, using those train tracks in that orientation: genius.
What’s Inside a Brick?
According to flickr user Tikitikitembo, there’s a whole city in there. This awesome microscale municipality fits neatly into the bowels of a brick-built 2×4. The blue lining on the box is a touch that works magnificently, and there are lots of neat pieces in the structures, ranging from the super old-school to the brand new.
Superheroes on display
Paul Janowski recently posted a wave of custom minifigs each matched with a display case and printed background. The Iron Man and Silver Surfer stand out from the crowd because they were custom chromed using vacuum metallization. Even better, Paul has donated both minifigs to this year’s Creations for Charity fundraiser!
The Claw!
I don’t know why but I have always had a thing for those crane games. So when Luke Watkins built one I had to smile. Built for the current edition of Iron Builder, he managed to pack a ton of detail in a very small space. In fact it took me a moment to realize just how small it actually is. Well done!
Ice Age: The Meltdown
I enjoyed the water texture in Blake Baer‘s Ice Age creation, but a closer look revealed that the “Ice Age” logo was made out of Lego as well! See more photos on MOCpages.
A city in the snow
Marco den Besten (‘Ecclesiastes) displayed his Ondylion City diorama at Lego Fan Weekend in Skaerbaek. It would take a lot of writing to point out the details; fortunately there’s a video tour of the creation.
Video tour of the Toy and Plastic Brick Museum
Josh from A Look at Lego takes us on a visit with Dan Brown of the Toy and Plastic Brick Museum in Bellaire, Ohio. You may have heard of this unofficial Lego museum in LEGO: A Love Story and wondered what the place actually looks like. This video shows a glimpse of the largest private Lego collection in the world.
