LEGO Sliding Puzzle.

I have only one word to day about this creation by Peer Kreuger. GENIUS.

Iron Condor.

This beautiful bomber was built by Jon Hall. Featuring some lovely detailing on the rounded wings, engines and propellors contained with the tail booms, the creation, and the presentation is gorgeous.

Lock S-Foils in Attack Position!

This glorious X-Wing comes from the shipyards of Marshal Banana - I love the little details here, the brick-built wings, the guns, and that oh-so sweet canopy. Possibly the best fan-built X-Wing I've ever seen.

Let's get physical.

OK, if this isn't one of the coolest LEGO creations ever, then I'm not a genocidal maniac wearing an eyepatch (and I am).

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, these are LEGO minifigs animated in real time by lckelpete, AKAPeter Salter.

These exercising figs are apparently powered by a single LEGO Power Functions motor.  This one gets five stars.

The USS Intrepid at STEAM.

Ed Diment, AKA LEGO Monster has done it again with the simply awe-inspiring 7 metre long Essex Class Aircraft Carrier USS Intrepid.

This creation really has to be seen up close to be believed - built from more than 250,000 LEGO bricks, and featuring working RADAR dishes, aircraft elevators, Power Function controlled main guns and a full air wing of Helldivers, Corsairs, Avengers and Hellcats (designed by Ralph Savelsberg, AKA Mad Physicist), the Intrepid set sail on her maiden voyage at the 2010 Great Western LEGO Show, or as we AFOLs in the UK like to call it, STEAM 2010.

These photos are from my own Flickrstream, however you can see Ed's own stream here, in which he shows the Intrepid under construction.

And finally, a video of the show, again by me, there are some detailed images of the Intrepid and her working features toward the end, along with her escorts, the Submarine USS Pampanito (built by Gary Davis, AKA Bricks for Brains) and the Destroyer USS Haggard (from Babalas Shipyards).  All three vessels are depicted as they appeared in the Pacific War in 1945.

The Iron Lockjaw.

I tried to think of a clever title for this post, but nothing could beat the name given to this tough smuggling ship created by Titolian.  It's beat-up appearance is perfect for the backstory created by the builder, and the crew looks fantastic as well.  I must warn my own Mr Jek Tranter (PI) that there is a new force to be reckoned with in space...

There's even a cool video showing all the little features, I love it.



Dr. S.

He does it again!

I don't know if you've seen the earlier creations of Jared Chan but they are all beautiful! Recently he uploaded his latest shop. The detail is marvelous.

When all his creations are put together it's a shopping(and of course a lego) paradise! Well, the picture below speaks for itself.

LEGO Printer

I know I haven't posted for aaaagggggeeeeessss, but oh well. Check out this amazing LEGO printer built over three weeks by 'horseattack' and it genuinely does work!

Never tell me the odds...

Wow!  This fantastic scene by marshal banana depicts the Millennium Falcon evading Imperial TIE Fighters through an asteroid field as seen in The Empire Strikes Back.  

The presentation here is fantastic, and faultless.  Witness the apparent "depth" of the asteroid expanse, the black base, the laser blasts, and the little motion blur on the larger asteroids and on the central TIE fighter's engine - it all combines to give a blistering sense of speed, motion and urgency and I absolutely love it.

Dr. S.

There be Ostriches here...

 I don't have a lot to say about this creation by Titolian, save that it has some of the most ingenious parts usage I have ever seen.  Enjoy.

Dr. S.

Hell's Teeth.

Possibly the meanest VTOL ground attack craft I've ever seen, the AGG-12F "Flying Devil" is brought to you by Mentalspagat (and with a handle like that, I'm not going to argue with him).  Check out the angles on the rear section, oh and those teeth are just marvellous.  His other creations in the set are also very good.

Dr. S.

I just couldn't resist...

I've been drooling over Karwik's utterly fantastic Jelcz 272 MEX Polish-style bus for a while now and, as with that mech in the last post, I decided I should probably blog it. There are great techniques all over the place - most notably in the complex grille, make with 1x2 grille tiles and minifig levers. I would've preferred if the bus was made completely purist, so no cutting of flex tubing, but that's considered purist by many people nowadays so I should really get with the times. Anyway, enjoy!

There's also a nice shard of ground to go next to the bus. It's what Poland would be like in 2012, with the whole of the Earth's surface breaking up.

ps. The Brickspace post headers will be up and working again soon, promise!

Tanks for the Memories...

Yes!  I'm still here!  Sorry for the lack of posts from yours-truly lately but a large LEGO project has had me busy.

But back to the blogging...

This M1A3 Abrams Main Battle Tank by ChandlerParker is the business - the angles on the turret are beautiful and the entire creation has a well-honed look to it - this is clearly a labour of love, and something to be loved, especially by an old warmonger like me.

The JOHN Collection, originally uploaded by Johŋ.


This furniture magazine by Brickspace's very own John is very interesting and original. I like the concept and the chairs, whilst simple, use some good building techniques.

Pop-up temple

Hello guys, I'm back with a vengeance... actually I'm just back. I haven't posted in ages due to having lots of stuff to do and general laziness. I have to say this is probably the best creation ever to be posted on brickspace. I will admit now that John saw it first and showed it to me when I met up with him a week or so ago but in the harsh, cruel, brightly coloured and plastic world of LEGO... oh whatever, I'll just get on with the review, my homework on quadratic equations (Oh joy) sitting on my desk next to me is beckoning.
This is without doubt an incredible creation by talapz (???) which has been causing quite a stir in the LEGO community. I don't know how he did it but he has exhibited some fantastic building techniques. People have tried to do similar things before but never on this scale, and with a MOC that is actually any good too! Apart from the painfully jarring music and overly long video this MOC is definitely worthy of ***** and I wouldn't be surprised if it won the Annual brickspace gold too, which is fast approaching.

RUN!!

This fantastically realised slime monster oozes character and malice as it clambers from beneath the surface of the Earth. This colourful scene was brought to you by Cole Blaq.

Thunderbirds Are Go!

Tim Goddard (aka Rogue Bantha) goes microscale again with this brilliant Thunderbird Two. Yes, it has a working pod and yes, the pod contains Thunderbird 4. What more could you ask for? OK, how about this Thunderbird 1 to go with it?

Apocalypsis II

It's been a fair few weeks since we had our first look at the second episode in Mark Kelso's Apocalypsis story, and now it's finished. You may remember the amazing waterfall scene in the first episode, and the scenery just gets better and better. This time we've got caves, fantastic Photoshop effects, and all the rocky goodness you could ever want. Mark Kelso, I bow to you, master of landscaping.

Quick! Where's my Illudium Q-36 Space Modulator?

Mrs Monster, aka Annie Diment, has built this awesome LEGO version of our friend Marvin the Martian. He's simply stunning.

Bombing them back to the stone age.

The Avro Vulcan B2 was a staple element of Britain's nuclear deterrent during the early stages of the Cold War, and also famously took part in the Falklands War, bombing Port Stanley airport from bases in the UK, a journey of nearly 4,000 miles to target. Seeing one of these things fly is a lesson in Awesome. Ed Diment (LEGO Monster) has faithfully recreated a Vulcan bomber in LEGO form - capturing the many varied subtle curves of the wings, the fuselage and the camouflage scheme in exquisite detail. Check the complete set of pictures to see the working landing gear, the bomb bay doors and the cockpit - you won't be disappointed.
