Iron Man fans should recognize this instantly, it's Tony Stark's lab in his Malibu mansion. This large interior MOC from kissyfur_ok is totally packed with detail everywhere you look. Going through the pictures will remind you of several scenes from the movies and you'll find excellent little easter eggs, just like a Marvel movie. Click through for more pics, it's worth it.
This is sort of my personal hell. I always swore I would never work at a place like this and I'm happy to report I never have. Of course, the mainframe/terminal computer system was gone by the time I entered the workforce so there was little chance of that. That being said, this MOC by LegoJalex perfectly recreates what used to be cutting edge business technology in splendid black & white. Now, do you have that TPS report?
Despite several attempts by friends I still haven't really delved into the world of Dr. Who, but I can truly appreciate the world's affection for the good doctor. And I can appreciate outstanding building skills as demonstrated on this excellent recreation of the TARDIS interior by Xenomurphy. The attention to detail not only from a show standpoint but also from a production design and set construction point of view just makes me happy.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this wonderful "vintage photo" by MiniFigNick was the old Adventurer's Club at Disney's Pleasure Island (what a fantastic place that was). Of course this image is just a small section of the larger interior of the Gentleman's Club. Which incidentally looks like an awesome place to hang out, where do I sign up?
I love a small, ultra detailed vignette, and this is just that. You can't just look at this MOC by CrazyLlama2 and not be drawn in. Who is this? What does he do in this room? What kind of books are those? This is a story waiting to unfold, and that's a hallmark of a good vignette. That floor technique is also a stand out feature, well done. I do have to wonder what happened to the original CrazyLlama though, very suspicious...
Here's a fun fact, I can't stand the sound of vacuum cleaners. I think it's because my mom was a bit of a clean freak and I woke up to the sound of one all the time as a kid. I can't imagine what one would sound like in this futuristic hangar, but I think I'd be too distracted on how completely AWESOME it is to care. Not only is the construction of this MOC by Wami Delthorn utterly gorgeous, this shot is brilliantly composed. I'm smitten.
I spent my formative years squarely in the 70's, and they weren't pretty. Bellbottom jeans, disco, The Gong Show and avocado appliances are just a taste of some of what that age of excess had to offer. It wasn't all bad though. The 70's also gave us Star Wars, micronaughts and Atari. There were some pretty groovy interiors back then too, as expertly demonstrated by builder eyescream54. I'm pretty sure one of those records is Meco Star Wars too (ok, just wishful thinking).
While I consider myself a kid of the 80's, it's more from the standpoint of young adulthood. It's when I got my first movie camera, when I fell in love with movie magic and when I became, well, me. Technically I'm a kid of the 70's, Which means Stretch Armstrong, Star Wars and lawn darts. I was a little old when Transformers came along and GiJOE shrunk inexplicably. But tucked away in this room is something that became an influence in my adult life, a View-Master. Reverse engineering stereo images as a kid thanks to my handy viewer, I developed a deep understanding of 3D. Now I use that knowledge from time to time in my other career, movie nerd.
What's that, Starbucks got your coffee wrong this morning? Loads of traffic on your commute? Well, as bad as that might be consider this Necromancer MOC by Dubbadgrim. Yeah it might have taken a little longer for you to get to work today, but at least you didn't release some sort of inter-dimensional being into this world.
How much detail can one cram into a 16x16 footprint? You'd be hard pressed to get more in than builder LEGOMINDED did in this excellent little diorama. It appears to depict the product of a lonely mad scientist type, who just wanted someone to play games with. But look at all that detail!
Here's a little dose of neo classic space goodness, in the form of a huge mech from builder SweStar to compliment his already spectacular hangar. I love the classic color scheme on this beast, with it's yellow cockpit and blue details. And of course there's the hangar itself, which is already an impressive environment populated with really cool stuff. That giant classic space logo is an awesome touch too.
The 80's were such a good time for movies. There were original stories, epic tales and imaginative filmmaking. Ladyhawke is a great example, and the inspiration for this phenomenal cathedral MOC by Pippo Zane. I strongly encourage you all to click through and check out many more pics (view in high-res, it's worth it) of this awesome structure and the occupants.
This banquet scene is from the upcoming book Build Your Own LEGO Knights Realm. And if this single image is any indication, it's going to be a fantastic book. There's so much detail here you can stare at this image for ages and keep spotting new things. My favorite detail is the candelabra on the main table, great use of the handcuffs part.
Like all the photography from LEGO Space: Building The Future, this shot by the team behind the book just leaves you yearning to step in and share in the adventure. It's like a scene in a movie. Can't you just hear the rumble of the ship? The footsteps echoing off the walls? The whine of an unseen machine? And of course the contemplative tones of the orchestral score.
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and have a few adventures. In honor of my visit to Disneyland today I'm posting this awesome MOC from Fat Tony 1138 of one of my favorite rides, Indiana Jones Adventure, Temple of the Forbidden Eye.
Running a home based business can be a challenge, from the continual distractions of everyday life to that odd blend of work/home that can be a total productivity killer. But in an office as cool as this MOC by Paula G77, I think it would be pretty easy to stay on task (who am I kidding, MST3K is on and we have chocolate malted crunch in the freezer).
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.
Another Iron Builder is on! This round is between Carlmerriam and Pepa Quin, and it's going to be good. There's been a few small MOCs entered so far, but now it's getting interesting. Carlmerriam brings us Hayao Miyazaki's beloved Totoro while Pepa Quin gives us a lovely evening out with a fine wine. Bring on the builds!
Can anything quite capture the imagination like a classic battle between dragon and knight in shining armor? This may be Dodge's sole entry into CCCXI, but it's excellent. I've seen attempts to convey thought bubbles and stories this way, but I think this is one of the most successful.
I loves me a little retro, and this is just my speed. I'm becoming convinced that Sir Nadroj is a time traveller. From his taste for vintage clothing to his uncanny knowledge, I think he's been sent here from the past (or is it the future?) to enlighten us with splendid design in our history. Once upon a time we were craftsmen and skilled artisans, what happened?
