Shop palooza

I want to shop at this department store by t-brick, or simply stare in awe at those ground floor window frames.

An abstract flower

More than two years after I made The Contortion, I revisited the concept of interweaving spirals and made a very similar sculpture using different colors that are much lighter and more cheerful, reminiscent of a spring flower.

You can see the description video on Flickr.

Eggy’s new chateau

Bryan’s (Eggy Pop) latest castle creation is a refreshing break from the theme, probably because it doesn’t have green foliage. As a result the contrast between the antique brown and crisp blue stands out, making this a rare delight.

Definitely not a bored room

I usually steer clear of multi-coloured brick-because-it’s-in-fashion art and design but I have to confess this particular boardroom table caught my eye. Not only is it genuinely made entirely of real LEGO (22k pieces of it no less) but there is no glue involved and a bunch of cute details including the client’s name.
As an added bonus the designers have included a 2-minute stop motion video of its creation down the bottom of the page.

Tower of Babel

Michal Herbolt’s (gearcs) Tower of Babel is based on the ziggurat design. While the construction techniques are fairly standard, the scale is grand and imposing. Note the tiny staircases made using grill bricks.

Brickbaron makes words with droid arms

Paul Hetherington (Brickbaron) once again lets his creativity loose in his latest creation of a Mardi Gras float. The letters made out of mostly droid arms is definitely the highlight of the show, though the patterns on the sides are also very interesting.

RX-78 Gundam

Peter C. (PeteCorp) based this Gundam model not on the series but on the 1:1 scale model found in Shizuoka. He’s also made a descriptive video (longer youtube version) for it. Utterly exceptional work at such a tiny scale.

Devastatingly good looking

It all seems to be a bit quiet here at the moment. Luckily Aaron Dayman made the Devastaku a little bit back which has some lime and purple for us to ogle.

Ever Awesome Poison

It is a well established fact that lime is ever awesome. This makes Andrew Lee’s (onosendai2600) Poison Arrow even more ever awesome. Built for the closing-soon Clunker and Alien Mecha Contest.

Color attack!

The poor mime never saw it coming. Great job James Zhan (pirate_cat), this would go well with Théo’s greeble attack.

Raideen will save the world

Adrian Drake (Brickfrenzy) is bringing his colossal super robot Raideen to our Big in Japan display at BrickCon. I think it will look very nice standing next to Mark Sandlin’s Mazinger Z, both of which are based off the Teknomeka frame.

Fort McHenry

Frequent readers may recall this creation from my roundup after BrickFair. The builder has finally gone ahead and posted photos of the diorama.
There are some great details worked into this creation. I especially love the various explosions and splashes, giving a great impression of a moment caught in time.

I also applaud the builder for his very interesting composition choices. Cutting off the ship to give a cross sectional view is a stroke of genius.

See? Timeless and universal.

There’s something just…happy about this advertisement. Made by Temujin Doran, the posting on Vimeo states it “uses pieces from the stash my brother and I used to play with when we were younger, so perhaps it looks a bit dated compared with modern day Lego. Dated, but still great.”
