Every Piece in its Place

Posted on June 13, 2011June 13, 2011 by admin

The level of thought and planning that must have gone into building this scene is quite impressive. Paul B. Hartzog has given us a truly lovely sci-fi interior scene. From the mating of the prints on the dish and the wing pieces at the center of the composition to the single removed floor panel (revealing circuitry underneath), everything about this scene clicks. There’s enough to see here that the composition doesn’t suffer from its lack of minifigs. Even the ceiling has a nice level of detail!

Pretty Postkutsche

If you don’t know German, you can say “Snazzy Stagecoach” instead.

Whatever you call it, this rendition of a German Postkutsche, by Jojo, is spot on. I love the details and the harness is a great touch.

Brick Sets

Posted on June 12, 2011June 12, 2011 by admin

I love it when someone else does some clever work so you don’t have to. Mike Yoder (builder42) has been experimenting with ‘stage set’ dioramas. Each of them involves arranging a set of basic structures into formation for a single shot. Personally I think this is a great idea and one I hope to see more of.

Cole abuses his bricks

Posted on June 10, 2011June 13, 2011 by admin

There are many large-scale Lego bricks out there, but this one, by Cole Blaq, is the first broken one that I’ve come across. It must be a clone brand…no one would destroy actual Lego, right? Right!?

Build a Pokéball

Chris McVeigh (powerpig) has posted instructions to build a Pokéball. Maybe it’ll catch a Lego Pokémon.

The Battle of San Juan Hill

Brian Williams (BMW_Indy) yet again shows his expert vignette craftsmanship in his build of the Battle of San Juan Hill. Everything from the custom-built horse, the explosion, the grass field, the sloped hill, and the display base separate this creation from the ordinary.

Cabin in the Woods

I’m always happy to see a log cabin creation. It reminds me of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and how much I want to go back! All the details are right, and I really like that chimney and truck. Good work!

Green Monster

Sorry if I suckered any baseball fans among our readers, this post is about a big green tank by Jason Heltebridle (Moctagon Jones). The smooth curves of this creation, coupled with the unusual gun certainly push this well into the sci-fi realm. Some of the details on the turret are also quite nice, in particular, the work between the wheels.

What’s more, it has taken me long enough to write this post, that it seems Jason has posted ANOTHER interesting tank.

A4 Pacific

Carl Greatrix (bricktrix) has a habit of building the impossible. But this A4 Pacific has to be his most extreme example. Some of the drivers, stickers and pipes are custom but the rest of the build is 100% LEGO

Here you shall find your inner peace

Sam W. (-infomaniac-) presents the Temple of the Tan Tiger complete with an interior, a backstory and his thoughts. It’s also a surprise to see a sci-fi builder build castle. Even among castle builders, it is rare to find a Japanese castle of this size and quality.
