Symmetry in asymmetry
Ryan H. (L.D.M.) has achieved an intriguing form in his Læther (a contraction of “luminiferous” and “æther”) spaceship that combines both the beauty of symmetry and the interestingness of asymmetry. At first glance, one sees a unique shape dominated by random protrusions from the fuselage. A second look will reveal the surprising symmetry of the individual components. Genius!
Fresh out of the waters and ready for action
Kyle Slushey’s Studly Aquanaut looks like it’s been freshly revived from a pile of rusty junk at the bottom of the waters. The color combination and use of seaweed plays an important role in conveying the personality of this mecha. Check out more of Kyle’s recent designs in his 7 Days of Mecha Madness project.
Matijaville
Architectural genius Matija Grguric brings us this elegant train station and other town buildings in grand detail. Down to a shopping center and up to a skyscraper, everything’s there. This is a true inspiration for anyone wanting to build something, so take heed and look through these magnificent creations.
The incredible train station. Well positioned with a very imposing style.
Color variation is just excellent. Dark blue, dark red, light blue, light gray — it’s all there.
…and then there’s that awesome Honda billboard (closer image here). I really like how these two buildings just work together. The contrast is perfect.
Check out the whole town display over at Matija’s Flickr photostream!
New buildings in town
Matija Grguric made some quality buildings for the City Diorama at Kockice Expo 2010. The brightly colored structures really added a liveliness to the city. I recommend checking out the diorama by clicking on the picture below.
Junk on the High Seas
Never has junk looked so good. Sorry. This Chinese Junk by ArzLan is a thing of beauty and its chock full of cool techniques. I’m loving that flag.
Edit: This will be displayed at Brick Adventure 2011 in Hong Kong.
In the Meantime
With my return from a travel and jetlag induced hiatus I’m going to break the chain of large MOCs to go to the other extreme. The Magic Tuba Pixie reinterprets a Glatorian mask to create a lovely micro-scale submarine. A good dose of creative parts application can replace a lot of bricks.
Klocki-Zdroj 2010 by LUGPol
The colours in this Street look really realistic. You can see more here. From pepik’s gallery.
Truckin’ in style
This Peterbilt rig by Bricksonwheels is to die for. While the shiney chrome goodness leaps out at you, the build is phenomonal. Remoted controlled via Power Functions and featuring all sort of fun features, this truck truly rocks.
Land of Eternal Bad Luck
Being a minifigure in lolas’s word has its ups and downs–but I daresay there are certainly more downs. How could there not be? He calls this the Land of Eternal Bad Luck!
This diorama includes some of his previous works, each just as lovely as the next. The Leaning Tower, Cape of No Hope, and After the Storm all help make up the larger work.
