Brian Kescenovitz (mondayn00dle) is another builder who probably has more works featured on our blog than not. What makes this creation unique is the combination of an emotionally arousing scene and backstory (yes, a Lego creation can be more than eye-candy). The rust stains on the rare Bionicle mask of the hardsuit mirrors the stains of blood and adds to the twisted setting. The hardsuit also seats a complete minifig.
Brickshelf user sheep shows us that good things can come out of LEGO’s DesignByMe program. This microscale rendition of Brandenburg Gate in Berlin doesn’t need fancy parts to make it look realistic. In fact, it looks like a possible addition to the LEGO Architecture line. I love the use of fences for the Greek columns.
As much as we try not to populate the blog with every creation by a single builder, it’s difficult when said builder keeps making blogworthy MOCs from different themes each time. Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) recently ventured into the world of Disney with his Cruella DeVille’s Rolls Royce. As usual, Tyler’s minifigs are also innovative; I never made the connection that Two-Face’s hair also doubles for the hairpiece of this classic Disney villain.
For the record, I purposely refrained from blogging Tyler’s Organibot for the above reason. You should still check it out if you haven’t seen it.
Rick Theroux’s minifig scale Tumbler rivals the one by Brent Waller. The giant balloon tires and the windshield decals are two of my favorite details on this creation. It’s always a bonus to know that Batman can sit comfortably at the controls.
Thanks for the tip, eclipseGrafx!
David Pickett (fallentomato) presents his best brickfilms animation showing Lego bricks morphing into different objects. Each change from one object to another consists of many brick-built transition states that are shown for only a fraction of a second, and the results are well worth it. Check out more descriptions and behind-the-scenes info about the video on David’s website.
We don’t normally point out reviews of new Lego sets, but this review of 8128 Cad Bane’s Speeder by Eurobricks member Inconspicuous is very well done with great photos. The set should be available on LEGO Shop at Home this August.
Ray Kwan builds the Hong Kong Coliseum complete with working lights and an illuminated interior. I recommend checking out the gallery for shots of all corners of the building, which features some nice modern city details.
Marcos Bessa’s Ancient Lady’s Museum is an astounding work of art and quality. The front of the museum accurately captures the Greek facade architectural look, where advanced techniques are used to create subtle offsets and detailed ornamentation. The dark blue also adds a tone of establishment to the building.
What amazes me the most is the extravagant interior of the museum, which features the best Lego circular staircase I have ever seen. This is the most difficult type of staircase to build in minifig scale. Not only does Marcos succeed with the form, he also adds ornate railings and a carpet pattern. This is the work of a truly skilled builder.
This upcoming weekend at Comic Con, you can purchase a set of exclusive Clone Wars CubeDudes designed by Angus MacLane. There will be 450 sets of 5 figures available for $75 each.

Bo King Wang (CREATION K.O Creation) thinks outside the 8-bit box and creates a 3D RPG battle depicting a band of heroes taking down an evil sorceress and her monster. The back panels feature two additional scenes that are also worth checking out. See them all in the gallery on Flickr.
