The Fifth Terrace of Purgatory: Greed

Flickr user Profound Whatever always astounds with amazing photography and beautiful sets. This latest of his is no exception. Part of a series I can not wait to see what comes next.

I saw this car whilst fishing around on Nannan Zhang's photostream, it's not that exciting but I love the way it looks so not-square. The mark of a truly good builder is that their creations look sou round, and so natural. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Anatomy of a Ship.

Consider my mind blown - Peter Reid (legoloverman)has done it again with a fantastic new Space creation...but with a twist. Here we see a Neo-Classic Space vessel under construction, appearing as if it just needs the metallic skin to cover its innards.

Reaper Vine by Toby Heinemann

MOCPages user Toby dips into surrealism and quite a disturbing form at that. I think this bewildering MOC speaks for itself.

The Pants Bot Craft

A new odd creation by BrickShelf user Patuara seems to have a very familiar style to prolific builder Nannan including some Black Fantasy MOCs. A new creation I found has a fantastic parts usage. Bley has never looked so good!

Tribal Sacrafice by SlyOwl

I've featured Flickr user SlyOwl on this blog a few times. And will good reason, but his recent creation just takes things over the top. In words he put it.
Oonga-boonga-oonga-boonga-oonga-boonga-oo-oo!

Albatross

I've been rather behind lately, but hopefully I can present a few creations that will be of interest. I'd like to start today with a fantastic creation by flickr member Crimson Wolf. Today he brings us the interesting life of a popular bird.


No worries I have plenty of photos listed in my bookmarks.

The Heart is only an Organ.

Or at least, that's what Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj) thinks. In his latest freaky, slightly disturbing, loads of tentacles are grabbing a heart, dragging it to the very dark depths of hell. Well, that's how I interpret it. It's modern art, this is all to be expected.

So here's the picture, and a link to the MOCpages page , because Schwartz has blocked people from copying images from his Flickr. ARGH!

The Instability

It's not the most innovative, or most complicated but the photo is good, the background interesting and the lighting is great (Eylar Lighting whatever that means).

Bricks don't have to connect completely...

I have recently found two MOCs on MOCpages which have something in common: they both utilise building techniques in which bricks only touch at one corner, and the stud-and-tube joint is not completely used. This is an interesting and unique idea for complex designs, as you will see.

The first MOC is Jerac 's Cobrahn , a sleek, 'swooshable' spaceship that has a clever technique in its wings, where a 1x1 circular plate has been placed at the end stud of 1x4 and 1x3 bricks, then those bricks are connected normally at the other end, creating a wonderfully smooth, curved shape.

Next up is Marek Markiewicz ' brilliant Monowheel , which uses loads of 1x2 plates to create a smooth wheel for a large wheel-based vehicle of the future. If you check out the rest of the photos, you'll see Markiewicz has cleverly integrated the wheel into the frame, and though it is fragile, it looks brilliant.

Hr-18 Interceptor.

The Hr-18 Interceptor by Dr. X. is a multi-role craft, capable of carrying a variety of ordnance.


I love the two-man cockpit on this model, and the lovely curve in front of the wing - I bet this is an awesome swoosher.

Carrier-Class Light Attack Sub

It's not just the Beatles who live in a Yellow Submarine. Vid' has recebtly shown off his submarining skills and astounded his fans with an insight into a rarely-built theme: sub-marine equipment and vehicles. Full to the brim with guns, gadgets and greeblies, Vid's underwater tank has some novel features (including a full SNOT 180 (Sd) joint at the centre), but some places are slightly fishy in design (notably the side of the windscreen). Nonetheless, it's a great creation.

ARGENT Class APC

This cool APC by mondayn00dle really looks the part but wait...what's that on those wheel arches? Castle pieces? Brilliant use of some parts that others might find somewhat Less Than Useful.

It gets even better when you click further and see the nifty steering incorporated into this MOC.

Steeple Brink Cove & Cruel Coppinger

I like Pirates stuff, but I don't build in the theme, so on that basis you could probably say that Pirates aren't really "my thing" - but I do like this little cove by Derfel Cadarn.


I especially like the brick effect on the pier - I know this is not a new method, but I do think it is particularly effective here.

The whole hustle and bustle of the scene with the rocks either side makes this an immediate fave'.

Teleportation Demonstration

I don't think there is any way humanely possible for me to not blog Sir Nadroj's awe-inspiring MOC straight away. It's just too cool. Based on Disneyland's 'Alien Encounter: The ExtraTERRORestrial' attraction, Nadroj (Schwartz)'s latest Lifelite masterpiece includes a great smoke machine as well. I can't put how amazing this creation is into words, so here is the video Schwartz made to accompany the MOC:


And, to cap it all of, the title rhymes. You can't get much better than that, folks!

Mongeese? Mongooses?

Please excuse the title. I was trying to find the plural for 'Nickre's newest creation: a remake of the Halo Mongoose he made a year ago.

STOP! STOP! Yes, I DO know it's a Halo creation. I admit that. Don't spam my inbox, please. It exhibits excellent building techniques, 'k?

What've we been up to?

It seems to be the case that when someone joins our staff, we stop posting their creations. So I thought I might just show you guys what we've been up to in the last few weeks, since most of our staff are brilliant builders as well as good bloggers.

Zack has been showing off his furniture skills...

And building wacky Podracers!

Jacob's been hard at work designing this great spaceship...

...and this brilliantly-designed WIP truck with a unique front cabin!

Doc Sinister's been messing around with cows in ways never before explored by humankind...

...and raking in the TLG goods for the Lego Tat collection on Flickr!

Gorazd's been hard at work creating his own version of the upcoming Space Police sets, such as this police ship...

and this swooshable Space Pirate punk ship thingy. Emos in space!

Sadly, Teikjoon has informed his fans that he will be leaving the Lego community indefinately, and has espressed himself in a poem:

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

So, I am guessing this means he won't be contributing to Brickspace any more. We will all miss you here, Teikjoon! Fare well! Adieu!

On a lighter note, I've been having a bit of fun with some windows...

And, as Zack showed you a while back, building Power Miners alt models. Boy, it sure does feel good to blog my own creations. Blow my own trumpet, y'know? Play my own piano, slap my own fish, drink my own tea, climb my own fence, eat my own scone...

Oh dear. I've got carried away.

'In Before Closing Time'

Matn of Flickr has recently shown us his entry into the Big Toy Hut Lego Zombie Contest. In his great creation, the zombies are stumbling into a shop and attacking the inhabitants. Fun fun fun.

Schwartz's Pale Man

No es mano.

Originally uploaded by Sir Nadroj

Just to keep with the Jordan Schwartz trend, and as some of you may have seen Jacob's interesting interview with him earlier, here is what he calls a 'very very quick little MOC'. For those of you who don't know what this is (ie you aren't frightened out of your mind), it's from a Spanish (I think...) movie called Pan's Labyrinth. There is a freaky monster called the Pale Man. Don't eat the grapes!

See the original movie clip here.

PuddleGlum ROCCKs on

Flickr user Puddleglum brings us the latest DDO (Deviously Disguised Object) from the Rock Monsters: The ROCCK, or Remotely Operated Covert Cut 'n' Kill. Power Miners beware.
