This MOC is a testament to the building tenacity of Legonardo Davidy. It was originally started back in 2013 and has been slowly taking shape since then. It's also a study in unconventional building techniques, with everything from standard connections to SNOT, capture and inversion.
I really dig this simple little vignette by paddybricksplitter. it's clean, funny and well photographed. It also tells a story, which I think is the real secret formula of small scale dioramas. It's not about how much detail you can pack in, it's how you can evoke emotion or suggest a narrative.
Love em or hate em, you have to admit, ewoks are quintessential Star Wars. And since they are original trilogy, I'm ok with them. Of course Wicket is the only real memorable ewok, having some time on screen to actually develop a personality. Speaking of personality, this Wicket MOC by Bruce Lowell is oozing with it (or is that ewok musk?)
This stunning castle MOC by MassEditor is enough to make you want to plan a European vacation. That is of course assuming you're not already in Europe, in which case you're probably sick of looking at castles and would probably like to just hang out at a Motel 6 in Malibu. I like to think whoever decided this was the perfect place to build a castle had just a little bit of "Bond villain" in them.
I have a confession: I haven't seen Mad Max yet (I'll wait for your collective dismay... there, feel better?) Yes, yes, I plan to see it, but you have no idea how busy I am these days. Not so busy I can't take a moment to post this radical MOC by LEGO Will. It's every bit as preposterous as the one in the movie, and every bit as awesome.
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and to holiday worlds of old. This is some fantastic work by builder RedRoofArt. I am perhaps a bit biased, since I'm a huge Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton, Disney and LEGO fan, so there was pretty much no way I was gonna not like this. It's technically MOCstalgia, since it was built in 2013/14, but these are new pictures of this phenomenal MOC. Click through for more views, it's worth it.
No, this is not going to be yet another post about some amazing game related MOC where I confess I haven't played the game. In fact, I'm not even going to go Google to get more info to even attempt to sound informed. Because none of that matters, just look at this spiffy MOC by KOS! Then click through for more pics and some background on the build. My work here is finished, back to animating...
I never get tired of Neo Classic Space, especially kick-arse ships like this one by Alec Hole. It's got tons of pointy antenna bits all over the place, plus multi-tiered SNOT wings. Very cool. I like how's Alec integrated the engines into the aft section in contrast to the mongo nacelles in the middle. Why not, right? Just wish there were more pictures! Hint hint...
With every passing week I get just a little more excited for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. It's frankly a bit concerning because if I extrapolate forward on the current trend it's quite likely I'll be running in small circles wearing nothing but a stormtrooper helmet and belt screaming at the top of my lungs with a lightsaber in my hands and the soundtrack blaring in the background. Now that I've painted that picture, enjoy this lovely MOC of BB-8 by Legomichiiiiii and a pretty nifty Skywalker lightsaber by LEGO Will.
Nothing says Summer like a classic American sports car or a camper in tow. Our old pal Firas Abu-Jaber is kicking off the season with both, and a surfboard to boot. Brilliantly detailed, the camper's got everything a smores-cooking, flip-flop wearing adventurer could want. Except a V-8 engine. So that's why you've got to have the Vette. Based on the second generation of the iconic muscle car, Firas' version has it all, including the retracting headlight covers. Time to crank up the Beach Boys. Or Jimmy Buffet .
Feast your eyes on this extravaganza of rich detail by builder Cesbrick, but be prepared to spend some time with it. This classic kid's room interior is absolutely packed with nostalgia, clever building and irresistible charm. The use of color is also impressive here, helping distinguish all the visual layers and keeping it from turning into total chaos. It's simultaneously visually complicated and simple to look at, and that's not easy to do.
Batman is sort of "ever present" in my life recently, with the success of my short film Batman vs Superman, the sequel in the works and other projects in active production, he's sort of on my mind all the time. So this MOC by Grantmasters speaks to me in a way that would probably concern my therapist, if I had one.
Let's face it, Vader has style. Sure he's a bit asthmatic, and perhaps a poor judge on where you should take on your rival in a lightsaber duel, but he's got style. Check out his ride for instance, expertly crafted by Lino M. This isn't a simple passenger van with a huge sticker on the side (yeah, that's what we called Star Wars vehicles back when I was a kid, it was disappointing then too) no, it's a sleek car with body styling reminiscent of his famous helmet, and an aggressive stance that says he means business.
The excellent Tim Courtney from LEGO Ideas has just unveiled the next set. There were many to choose from, but only one could be chosen (at least for now). Check out the video for the news!
I don't know why it is, but in my experience the most important, the most popular and the most frequented part of the home is the kitchen. It's where we prepare meals, have a snack and spend time with friends and family. It's also where we do crafts, spend late nights on last minute science projects, and maybe enjoy some tea and biscuits while you blog about amazing LEGO creations like this stunning little kitchen from jsnyder002 (which as far as I know, was built in a kitchen)
The Flash has been on my mind a lot lately, for reasons I can't divulge just yet, so the timing on this latest Brick Sketch by Powerpig is pretty perfect. But what is more perfect is a little detail you just might miss from the front angle, Flash's iconic lightning bolts, awesome.
The appropriately named King of Random has an awesome new video with instructions on making these yummy LEGO gummy candies. And it's not just a standard "mix these together and pour in mold" kinda video, there's tons of cool info on taking these to the next level...in fact, you can build with them!
If you asked me what my dream garage would be filled with - Vespa scooters just might be the absolute last thing on my list. I would prefer mine to be filled with various iterations of twin-turbocharged 80's sports cars that dominated my bedroom wall when I was young. Yet, after seeing this masterful build by Andrea Lattazino, I'm not so sure anymore. The attention to detail in this MOC is stunning. Feast your eyes upon this, young builders, for within this build lies phenomenal technique, parts use, and color palette. Hats off to you, Andrea, for making me love Vespas.
Every day should start with a good breakfast, in this case for me it's starting with a phenomenal breakfast...MOC! This is one of those rare occasions (which I LOVE by the way) where I find myself looking at a pic and going "oh wait, that's LEGO too, holy crap...that's all LEGO". The level of detail, clever construction and perfect photography of this MOC by LegoJalex is simply impeccable.
