I’ve never seen a Lego house more furnished than the one by Brixe63. Check out all the rooms including the workshop, cellar, laundry room, hobby room, kitchen, study, dining room, foyer, master bedroom, living room, kids’ bedroom, bathroom, and even a Lego room!

Lego Chili’s Restaurant

September 8th, 2010

If you live in North America, then you’ve probably seen a few Chili’s Restaurants around town as noted by their unique logo with the chili pepper. Brian Lyles has captured the look of the restaurant and built a full interior complete with a bar and kitchen.

Abandoned museum

Many Cafe Corner style buildings begin to look the same after a while, but not this one by Barney Main (SlyOwl). I haven’t seen many dilapidated buildings, so it’s always refreshing to see something so old (as in run down). The bars on the windows are a great effect despite being simulated from tape. The mannequins inside are just creepy, and they probably come to life at night.

I don’t know if it’s forbidden to build the Tower of Babel in Lego, but Brendan Powell Smith doesn’t think so. You can read the illustrated story on The Brick Testament.

Boxy but in a good way

Chris Giddens (Fazoom) claims he made an ugly ship, but I like the ugliness of it. The ship has distinct sections indicated by texture and color and it reminds me of an ice cream sandwich. Mmm…

I’ll take the railgun version

Joe A. (Dablackcat) combines Bionicle and System parts in his Shamgar mecha that he brought to BrickFair. Inspired by the AMP suit from Avatar, it certainly has that rugged clunky feel. I love the presentation and the option for different weapon attachments.

A tank built to kill other tanks

That’s what Fedde’s (Karf Oohlu) newest creation is all about. It’s a mono-tracked tank killer that’s great for speed but sucks at making turns.

Keith Goldman builds Logan’s Run

Keith Goldman’s latest massive diorama presents his interpretation of the science fiction work Logan’s Run. At this scale, architecture really plays a role in capturing our attention. I am particularly drawn to the terraced vines and the sloped facets of the background structure.

The individual shots of the diorama are also unique, where each scene captured a separate story element. You should check them out on the Flickr set. And as a rare glimpse, Keith shows that there are boundaries to his creations, proving that he is “a man among gods, and a god among men.”

From the unknown chasms of space

September 1st, 2010

…comes my latest creation, a ship called Broken Regret. I strove for an ominous and organic looking craft by incorporating curves and spikes (best viewed on black). The result is something that looks much better in real life than on photos. This is due to the curves of the ship distorting our perception of its true shape and size (I had to do a lot of lens adjustments in Photoshop). Hopefully you’ll see what I mean when I post more pictures and a video in the upcoming days.

On another note, I want to mention that there are some incredible sellers on Bricklink who sent me last-minute parts to complete the ship at practically no cost. I’ve encountered many of you over the years, you know who you are, thank you.

Army men assemble!

When Lego released 7595 Army Men on Patrol, Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) saw it as his calling to build something with them. And built he did. This diorama features several cool green vehicles contrasted nicely with the dark tan base.
