Jon Walker posted pictures of his SHIP that won Best in Space and People’s Choice awards at BrickCon 2009. I love the unique donut-shaped cargo containers. The lack of gaps between the wedges reflects the perfect technique that Jon used to create these shapes. The sand green spine adds a hint of color and the inclusion of two microscale escort fighters completes the setup.
Joel Baker constructed a sculpture of the scene from Toy Story where Sid pulls out Woody and Buzz at the claw crane. Say, if there were no glass, would you still have to pay and use the claw? Check out more views on Joel’s Flickr set.
Mark Sandlin (Grand Admiral) is bringing this towering model of the robot Mazinger Z to the Big in Japan display at Brickcon 2010. Modeled after the gigantic Teknomeka frame, the mecha is sure to stand out. Déjà vu anyone?
The first thing that struck me about this dragon was the neck and torso. Fantastic job there. Cameron G. knocked this one out of the park. He calls this “Midnight Dragon”. I call it freakin’ cool.
This Coalition Gunship by Pierre E Fieschi isn’t old-school in technique, but it definitely is in feel. The aesthetic hearkens me back to those of sci-fi from the 70s. This ship incorporates much of the great surface texture and greebling that we’d see in movies like Star Wars onto a chunky shape. Which brings me to that shape, it’s so chunky, and blocky, it looks great.
It really feels like this ship contains huge thrumming engines, and was built for function, a skin that barely contains the guts that make the ship work.
A timber-and-stone, house-and-shop combo is always nifty and being somewhat versed in the dark art myself, I’m partial to blacksmith creations. However, this one by Peter deYeule is especially nice.
This Mesopotamian Ox butt is pretty awesome. I’ve never seen a Mesopotamian Ox but I think Ed Diment got it right. The whole Ox that is, not just the butt.
He built a pair of these for his Mesopotamian Ox Cart, which is pretty neat too.
With an equally zany username, Sprogis Peteris shows that fancy techniques aren’t always needed to build an interesting Lego creation. Check out Crackhead & Honey Bag Man and more on Flickr.
Once in a while, Fedde (Karf Oohlu) applies his humorous use of unusual Lego parts to larger creations. This diorama depicts colored parts being fed by robots to a hungry recycle machine. This creation has definitely made the best (and perhaps the only) use of the Crystal King’s head.
HKLUG has posted a ton of excellent pictures from the 2010 Anime Festival their Facebook page.
You should definitely take the time to check them out. The pictures posted here really caught me eye, but there are many, many more.
