TARDIS Console Room from Doctor Who

Posted on by

I’ve seen many brick renders of the TARDIS from Doctor Who, but I’ve never seen the interior built with Lego until Mr. Xenomurphy presented his latest creation. You don’t have to be a fan of the TV show to appreciate the striking architectural design with its intricate details and working lights. Check out the gallery on MOCpages for more photos including construction shots.

Here We Stand in Carentan

I guess modern buildings aren’t just his only expertise. These incredibly detailed models by Brian Lyles have that nice French styling to them and the colors are a perfect match. Too bad they’re blown to pieces, but honestly, that’s what makes this layout come together. Making something look like it’s damaged or destroyed can be a tough thing to pull off with LEGO. It is hard to find that balancing point, but obviously that doesn’t apply here! These are wonderful. Great job!

French frigate Achille

EB Perfectionist spent 300 hours over the course of about a year on this large and highly-detailed French frigate called Achille. The sails and rigging are made from linen and 6 different types of string. For more of the builder’s thoughts, check out the post Eurobricks. Additional photos are on Flickr.

A Trip to the Downtown

The look of this little street section is just fantastic. The designs are nice and simple, and I really like the colors as well, especially with that fire escape there on the side of the tan building. It has a awesome “downtown” feeling to the whole thing, so check it out! I think you’ll like it!

A Humbled Modular

Posted on by

The Michigan LEGO Train Club at Ann Arbor Train Show was held this past Sunday, February 20, 2011 in Saline, Michigan. The models were created by members of the MichLTC, and as one can see, they were huge. I really like this shot because it captures the enormity behind the models. The small brown building in the middle would be quite large compared to Cafe Corner or Green Grocer, but in fact is relatively minuscule in this layout. So cool! For more pictures, visit DecoJim’s photostream and for future MichLTC events and times, visit their website.

Chris Edwards once again demonstrates proper way of controling the action with his latest diorama called War Machines Strike. Using clever building techniques as well as puns, Chris shows us what happens when intelligent combat robots throw down their weapons and go on strike, ha! Check out the full gallery on Flickr.
