This MOC by vitreolum is inspired by the classic RPG Arcanum. On one side is technology and equipment, the other potions and magic. And what magic indeed, that tentacled creature built from the minifig tentacle legs and Mixel eyes is brilliant. There's lots of detail here, click through for a larger pic.
Dear Cardinal Augustus,
Pirates once again attacked the church of St. Lucia today. There were no fatalities this time but docent Marcus received quite a knock on the head. We really need to address the issues stemming from the misunderstanding about the steps of the church. How that cartographer misheard "measure of truth" as "treasure of blue" is mind-boggling, but it's been nothing but trouble since. Whatever you can do would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Docent Jorge, St. Lucia church
PS, send my regards to Mark of Falworth, I'm a big fan of his work.
When you spend every day looking for notable MOCs it gets more and more rare that you say to yourself "that's cool, I've never seen that before". Well it happened this morning when I gazed upon this lovely little blacksmiths house by Simon S. The first thing that caught my attention was the cool purple shingled roof, but then I saw the walls festooned with all manner of armor and I was smitten.
I've worked in several warehouse environments before, and they all seem to be about the same. But I can't help thinking that there would be something just a little magical if it was filled with LEGO. Built by TheBrickMan for a departing friend, what an awesome gift!
This spiffy little island looks like an official set amped up to the next level and packed with excellent little details. I love the use of arranged water spout parts to make lapping waves and the crossed swords decorations.
I had a really cool Red Baron model kit when I was a kid. Of course I really had no idea what it represented, who Manfred von Richthofen was or who was fighting who and for what reason 50 years before I was born. All I knew is it was a bitchin' red triplane. Speaking of which, it's no less awesome built in bricks as we can see in this sweet diorama by PigletCiamek.
Having just returned from a wonder vacation in Hawaii, the timing on this MOC is perfect. Builder Miro78 as crafted the quintessential beach hut, where all the locals and the tourists can get some delicious fruit and lemonade. I wonder if they serve shave ice?
UPDATE: This has just been accepted as a LEGO Ideas project, head over and love on it.
I will admit, beyond just the coolness factor of this MOC, I have no background on it. I never played Bioshock Infinite, and have no real knowledge if it. So I consulted my resident expert (12 year old Connor) and I have it under good authority this this is "awesome". I have to agree.
Micro scale space dioramas always make my geeky heart go pitter patter. This one from Tim C76 makes it go boomshakashaka! Check out all the awesome detail in this thing, from the subtle use of trans blue throughout, to the bevel gears to add texture and my favorite detail the flex tubing in the large dishes to add windows around the edges of the biggest tower.
If you were fortunate enough to attend Brickworld Chigago (I wasn't, sad face) then you had the opportunity to drool on this in real life. I'll have to settle for drooling on this desk here in my hotel room (don't tell housekeeping, that's gross). While taking on Carl Merriam in an incredible round of Iron Builder the great Pepa Quin built The Android's Dungeon from The Simpsons, and it all sort of happened from there.
It's a day late for Star Wars day, but I still wanted to share this excellent modification of the UCS Millennium Falcon, as well as this awesome Senate Bay diorama by Gerechtigkeitsliga. The ship looks amazing in it's Stellar Envoy paint scheme, and the diorama is jaw dropping with scale lighting and tons of detail. Click through for more pics, it's worth it.

Time for another story. Way back when I used to work in creature effects, doing make-up and animatronics. And if you didn't know, it's a really toxic business. Combine that with the awesome air in Los Angeles in the late 80's/early 90's and my poor lungs wanted to leap out of my chest and retreat back to the central coast. I ended up really sick, like close to pulmonary shutdown, and a doctor said "you want to live to be 30? Change your industry and leave this town". This hauntingly beautiful MOC by Kosmas Santosa sorta reminds me of a few lovely spots in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Update: I switched to digital visual effects, moved to Lompoc CA and got much better pretty quick.
For Rent:
Luxurious loft apartment with adjacent landing pad. This amazing glass enclosed loft overlooks the wondrous black tar sea of Karkonia. The attached landing platform will accommodate most personal craft (plasma induction lift thrusters not recommended) and is situated low to preserve the view. Easy access to the lower level state-of-the-art kitchen and pilot ready room. Soak away the stresses of intergalactic travel with the indulgent Jacuzzi located on the second floor. Available mid-May, serious inquiries only.
This impossibly rich environment is from Raoulosos. There's no info posted with the pics and I don't know if this is from a movie, a video game or an incredible imagination, but it's stunning. The rock work alone is impressive, but the color palette, the details and the part use is just awesome. Plus there's lighting effects, fantastic flora and fauna and a technological overlay that just makes your jaw drop. Click through for more and larger pics, it's totally worth it.
I love a MOC that keeps me looking, and this sweet MOC by MeGustaKapusta is a great example of that. The first thing you notice of course is the cool ship and landing pad. But then your eyes wander and you spot the interesting color uses, the otherworldly plant life, the cool little robot/creature thing down below. You just keep looking and spotting new things. All this lovely detail, and the engines light up, splendid.
It actually doesn't seem all that long ago that this was a thing. Sure everyone had a TV, but they were built to last and when something did go wrong, you called a guy or took it to a place. Now TVs are practically disposable. Of course they also look WAY better, cost way less and weigh nearly nothing. This MOC by LegoJalex pretty much sums up the fate of the TV repair shop.
I find medieval warfare fascinating. Can you imagine what it was like to wrap your body in a metal suit and storm a giant building made of rock? Just to have arrows fired at you, boiling oil dropped on you or have another guy in a metal suit come at you with a ginormous sword? I'd be dead in moments I'm sure. Builders like Disco86 help us imagine what it was like with stellar builds like this. A little snapshot of time, of a larger place and larger battle. See that guy falling off the wall? That's me.
I was literally looking at Unikitty's tail yesterday wondering what it might be used for, but waves didn't occur to me. This MOC by Melan-E is lovely, simple, small and adorable. And I have to agree, after this brutal and extra long winter all of the North American continent is ready for a little summer.

Dear Spencer,
I am writing to follow up on our conversation yesterday about my insurance claim for the property at 349 Broadway. City services has finally succeeded in shutting off all services and cleanup is continuing. Everyone is accounted for and I'm happy to let you know Mrs Thumperpants' cat Piranha has been found safe and sound.
I am however very concerned by your apparent disbelief in my descriptions of the events of the 27th of March. I can assure you everything that was described occurred exactly as it happened. I have enclosed a photo if you are still feeling skeptical.
Sincerely,
Thomas Schlepmot
Superintendant
