I do not like Bionicle, those appeared when my dark age has started, i do not have many pieces. No wonder I cannot build with them. Unlike Moko who apparently does. This Insect Warrior is a masterpiece in it’s own class, not only it looks great, but is also very posable.
What kept me away from Bionicles is the fact that original sets are just skeletons with some cover here and there, but when i see a fan build that is full of substance, like with this Moko creation, there is nothing about them not to love.
What is the better way to invite fellow AFOLs to your event than by making MOC? I do not know better, as did Krzysztof Pusz of LUGPol who built this inviting scene.
The event will take place in:
Łódzki Dom Kultury
ul. Traugutta 18
ŁÓDŹ
POLAND
The date is 2-3.07.2016, that is next weekend. You can find more info on LUGPol’s website if you are interested to go.
We will be there on Saturday as regular visitors, and will be capturing some video footage and photos, so subscribe or follow us on facebook not to miss the report.
This is the best version of The Burrow i ever seen build out of Lego Bricks. The Burrow is Weasley’s family “mansion” from Harry Potter. Marcel V. has built it using many great techniques, few borrowed from other builders, most invented by himself, like this set of wonderful window mosaics :
Jason Allemann of JK Brickworks has posted today his Spirograph. There were many similar construction build before, but this one is extremely simple, yet can draw variety of shapes. As always Jason provides instruction for this toy if you want to build your own version.
Seems this week is microscale week, so many cool micro builds were posted on the net. One of them is Simon Liu‘s scene where micro AT-ST are guarding some bunker.
Those walker are one of the smallest i have seen, yet they are extremely detailed. That is not first time Simon shows his building skills, and i’m sure there is more to come.
And no. This is not the scene from Empire Strikes back, that would have more green in it. This is Star Wars Battlefront build.
Tim Lydy has build a scarecrow. And a scary one this is indeed! I think it is in the eyes!
The needle hand reminds me of Freddy Kruger of the Nightmare on Elm Street horror serie. Was i scared when i was a kid watching it? However this character is not ours, but Batman’s nightmare.
Dr. Johnathan Crane, aka the Scarecrow, is one of the Batman’s most fearsome enemies. Utilizing toxins, he creates terrifying hallucinations to kill his victims.
Flickr user -derjoe- has come up with new, at least to me, techniques to make birds. That is amazing NPU, and idea worth adopting to your MOCs whenever you need small birds. I can’t decide which one i like more, but the one with the bucket and rattle is definitely less obvious.
Those birds are the highlight of a great scene at the museum:
Microscale is something i like to both build and watch. No wonder that this castle by Aido K has drawn my attention. It is not only very beautiful but also historically accurate. This siege of Dover Castle is not the first historical work of Aido, take a look at this map depicting political situation in South East England 1216.
What is interesting about this build is unusual use of baseplate and snot map. In both cases there is a lot of brick stacking – technique where parts are not really connected, just stacked one on another. It works well on a photo, but is a paint to take those models to exhibitions, because even weak shakes of the table can rearrange the setup 🙂 Neverthless i cant stop starring at them both.
This photo taken by Julius von Brunk is so amazing i couldn’t resist posting it. It has so much life within it, and the classic space theme is also making it very special for me.
The far-out intergalactic space rock band The Highway Stars performing in front of a group of ‘nauts!
Says Julius in description of his photo. The skill of photography is also very high with this one. Photo was taken with a glass plate and a set of Christmas Lights. I would need to experiment with such setup, i ll share my experiences if i do.
Now follow Julius on Flickr as he has much more treats of advanced Lego Photography.
