The Cap doesn't mess around when it comes to supporting our troops, and JaredChan doesn't mess around when it comes to outstanding building. There's so much to love in this diorama, the bunting, the eagle, the dancing girls and of course Red Skull's sweet ride. But for the me the stand out is the stars and stripes shield, awesome.
Feast your eyes on this! Just last Tuesday we were treated to the Kingdom of Renroth, now POCKYLAND is back with another absolutely mind-boggling build. Not only that, but another build called Renerrost slipped under the radar since then. I wish I have more info to share about these amazing builds, but you'll have to be content with with the total jollification of eye candy. Do yourself a favor and click through and view some high res pics, enjoy!
Talk about epic, just look at this! There's no details or description, but really do we need them? The pictures speak for themselves. This is top notch building, beautiful photography and excellent editing. Click through for many more pictures.
You all know what a huge Star Wars original trilogy nerd I am. So how could I resist this totally sweet MOC by -derjoe-? Although it is inspired by a scene that was unnecessarily mucked with for the special edition. Why adding eight more guys and a clumsy walking dewback was supposed to make it better is beyond me. Speaking of dewbacks, check out this baby, built from 1400 olive green plates. This is from the book Build Your Own Galaxy, which I've not seen yet but clearly need to.
Let's face it, elves can be jerks. And one of the biggest, jerkiest elves is Thranduil (not that I'm 100% on the dwarves side, they can be jerks too). But what he lacks in tact, compassion and like-ability he makes up for in panache and style (except maybe that stupid crown). Flick user lisqr certainly has panache and style as well, and this MOC shows it.
Having built a few trees recently I know how fragile and fiddly they can be. And I can't imagine how fragile and fiddly this one by studio tidepool is. But it's also absolutely beautiful.
To properly appreciate this awesome MOC by -derjoe-, you need to play the "Throne Room and End Title" from the Star Wars soundtrack while gawking at it. Of course even if you don't have it handy, you're now humming it in your head. You're welcome.
No this isn't an official set, but it has the feel of one, and it's intentional. Legonardo Davidy and Cara have combined efforts for the Eurobricks Pirate Teamwork Contest and the results are stunning. The design of both the ship and the fort are brilliant, with wonderful play features and detail rivaling that of real LEGO designers. There's tons of pictures of both these models and some great making of shots, click through to explore.
This great hall by MinifigNick is massive, and positively packed with detail. I really encourage you to click through and view the largest picture of this stunning diorama. There's detail everywhere you look and it tells a rich story of the night before a battle. Although I have to say, Sir Ethelbert Elynbrigge employs a great number of jesters, hmm.
Getting the detail you need into a small diorama can be tricky, but Hen Peril has managed to pull it off in this science lab with great success. The shelves are excellent as is the microscope and the air filters (or is it AC?) on the wall. The high ceilings and skylights are a perfect touch as well.
This is one of those MOCs that seems simple at first, and then surprises you, then continues to draw you in. The detail seems minimalistic at first, then you realize you've just not really looked. The shapes seem almost crude, then you realize it's because they're effortless. Nice work Gideon.
I wish South Korean LEGO artist OliveSeon would post descriptions so I could tell you more about this amazing MOC depicting all the worlds of The LEGO Movie. But you'll just have to do what I did and gawk in admiration. The MOC is obviously taking advantage of many official sets, but to excellent effect and in an awesome total package.
Here in California we just don't get much snow, at least where most of us live. Maybe that's why I find winter MOCs so appealing, since they represent something far away and somewhat exotic (at least to me). This modular diorama by sdrnet depicts a scene I've never actually experienced at a snowy winter vacation spot. There's so much detail in this scene and inside the building I invite you to click through and take a look. There's also a fantastic little surprise under the mountain, very nerdy.
While I've always thought that the name oliphaunt was just silly, these four-tusked behemoths were quite impressive in Lord Of The Rings. And this mini fig scale version by Simply Complex is every bit as impressive, and huge. This was built for the Middle Earth LEGO Olympics over on MOCpages, and will be certainly turn some heads.
This excellent pirate MOC comes to us from Fraslund. Originally started as a CCCXI entry, time ran out. And while it may have not been entered in the contest, I think we can all agree it's a winner. There's so much to love here, I highly recommend clicking through and looking at the high res pictures, it's loaded with detail.
I'm a fan of Lord Of The Rings. And while many fans took some offense or were at least disappointed when Tom Bombadil didn't make the cut in Peter Jackson's epic trilogy I have to admit I didn't care. It's always struck me as sort of superfluous and odd part of the book. But perhaps if I had seen this charming MOC by Sergeant Chipmunk I would have had a clearer picture in my head. Then again, there's those songs...
This MOC by Mitah Val Karem depicts elves retrieving a secret cache of weapons in the middle of the forest. The cutaway sides revealing the action below is really cool, but what caught my eye was the tree. Mitah uses click hinges and barbs to great effect here.
This is beautiful. Here in California we don't see much of this classic Cape Cod architectural style, which has always made it seem just a bit more exotic for me. Everything here is spanish tiles and stucco. The building even more impressive with a lovely finished interior. I want to vacation here.
The people behind the book LEGO Space: Building The Future continue to amaze and please us with enticing little shots that didn't make the cut. I was privileged enough to experiment with photographing some of the fabulous MOCs in this book, and I truly wish I could have been there for all the shoots. If you don't have this book yet you're missing out.
I know just how this jester feels. This awesome MOC by Toltomeja is a perfect visual metaphor of my life these days. With home, family, BrickNerd, YouTube, building, designing, shooting, editing and social media all wobbling beneath me. And there I am, a clown trying to stay on top of it all.
