Sebastian Arts (Aliencat) is one of those multi-talented builders capable of surprising me with each new LEGO creation. His latest is a nasty piece of work inspired by Warhammer 40K — the Necron Heavy Destroyer: See more pictures of the Necron Heavy Destroyer on MOCpages.

The first LEGO creation that Jon Hall has posted to Flickr is a LEGO version of the ornithopter, or “flaptter”, from the Miyazaki film Laputa: Castle in the Sky: I love the shape, and the use of the clear canopies as wings is excellent.

To the point

Categories // The Brothers Brick, Syndicated Blogs, Construction

I sometimes feel I have a bad habit of blogging LEGO diesel and steam trains even though I’m a big fan of electrics. Esben Kolind has helped cure me of this with his fantastic Copenhagen metropolitan train. Most impressive of all, in my opinion, is the accurate taper of the sides achieved by (in his [...]

Walking Steampunk Mecha

Categories // The Brothers Brick, Syndicated Blogs, Construction

Matt Hamann (Jaster) has built an adorable steampunk walker. It’s a six-legged tank, that would be a pretty decent creation, if it weren’t for one thing… it can walk! He’s motorized it, and it sort of toddles along the table. Check out the video. I just love the way it clomps [...]
