Strongholder is a creature that is like living stronghold. Something like Ent is walking tree, Strongholder is a walking Castle. I see here some inspiration with one of the latest mixel series, but Crises claims it was inspired by some other toy. Either way it is crazy enough to be posted here.
Everybody and their dog are writing about new set LEGO has announced today. I will not do that, instead i want to present to you microscale version of it built by Rod Gillies
It is cute, isn’t it? And pretty true version of LEGO 71040 Disney Castle.
Remember the VolksWagen Beetle Expert set 10252 that was recently released? Luigi Priori has just built chibi version of it in a classic space style. Then the photo is stylized into 70’s postcard with a flower-power uncled of Benny the Spaceman as the driver.
Luigi admits he got inspired by Gerald Cacas with his chibi version of the Beetle built right after announcement of the 10252 set. The picture is stylized in a way of Benny’s adventures Luigi is publishing for some time. But that is a story for another post.
Djordie, member of Serbian Lego Club Beokocka has build a fish that is cute and scary. It reminds me somewhat of LEGO set 7978, but is so much more slick. The build is so good i will have nightmares đ
MichaĆ KaĆșmierczak aka Migalart is building a spaceship fleet for his brick built comic book. He surely can photo edit to make his creations look great.
But if you want to admire the build more than pretty photo here is the version that will let you look at the great greebling. Notice how the small windows were made with plain 1×1 transparent plates and some gray tape.
I’m sure this is not the last time we will host MichaĆ here. Oh and as a bonus, take a look at the ship from his comic in microscale:
It seems it is superheroes week. We have posted some great superhero MOCs already, but this time it is time for a microscale. This version of Harley Quinn by Grantmasters is not much smaller than minifig, but it has some interesting NPUs and has definetely better body shapes than minifigs.
This is one of those MOCs that proves that you do not need a ton of bricks to make something absolutely amazing!
NPU is finding new usage for parts, usually usage that is not so obvious. There are people who find it the highest form of LEGO Bricks art. I’m one of them, so i culdn’t pass this MOC by Moko.
The most prominent part in this build is the beak that comes from General Grevious constraction figure 75112, but without eyes made out of One Ring from LOTR/Hobbit and part introduced as Unikity tail, the bird wouldn’t be as grat as it is.
Also foots are very clever build, that can be easily missed if you admire the head.
More pictures at Moko’s blog, including building hints. There is also interesting read if you can read Japanese.
Tim Lydy is known for his beautiful brick renditions of DC Comics characters, but this time he outdid himself with this Poison Ivy figure. I’m speechless so i will just leave you alone with the photos.
Brickbaron also known as Paul Heterington on Flicker, has build his version of 1950’s batman comic book cover. Â Paul is Art Deco lover, and that shows in the MOC.
At first i was amazed with all those ornaments on the walls. Triangle road sign use to build columns is also pretty clever. Floor mosaic near entrance is mesmerizing. There is also a lot of action in this diorama. Joker is attacking with gas that makes cops burst into uncontrollable laughter, Batman and Robin are coming up to the rescue.
It would be cool as it is, but Paul brought the scene to life  with clever use of power functions!
That build is crazy! If we were awarding Crazy Build of the month reward, this diorama would probably take it. Hey! Maybe we actually should start awarding such awards?
In the meantime take a look at some closeups on Paul’s Flickr.
Another entry for Summer Joust Contest 2016. This time BHs, Johan and Goldsun of Zbudujmy.to created their contest entries, losely based on a Tolkien poem.
Far over the Misty Mountains cold (Johan)
To dungeons deep and caverns old (BHs)
We must away ere break of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.(Goldsun)“The Misty Mountains”, autor: J.R.R.Tolkien
Using Tolkien here is a little bit strech as there were no airborn dragon hunters, nor the mechs, and Dwemerium is part of Elder Scrolls saga, but if you take this away, those works are quite nice. Take a look at the pictures:
Dragon Hunt by Johan
Dwemerium by BHs.
Steam Princess and the Seven Dwarves by Goldsun
If you click on the photos you should be taken to the appropriate flickr albums. And i keep my fingers crossed for this Team too.
