The Android’s Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop by Pepa Quin

January 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

In celebration of The Simpsons House (71006) now being available, Matt De Lanoy, aka Pepa Quin, has created The Android’s Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop as his Iron Builder model using the white modified brick 2 x 3 x 2/3 with two studs. Owned by Jeff Alberson, aka Comic Book Guy, this build is a great representation of comic book shop from the cartoon. Matt has implemented some things from The Simpsons House including the Radioactive Man comic book and Bart and his skateboard. This is the total opposite of the Worst. Creation. Ever.

Cutaway Style LEGO Sydney Opera House at Brickvention 2014

January 19, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Currently, there are two official LEGO Sydney Opera House sets, the Architecture set (21012) as well as the Creator set (10234). There is also another model that has been created but it won’t be sold because this is a model of the iconic building created by LEGO Master Model Builders Ryan McNaught and Erik Varszegi. They have created a 75,000 piece cutaway style of the Sydney Opera House and was displayed at Brickvention 2014. This particular model costs about $25,000 and took aroud 300 hours to complete in a period of 38 working days. Ryan had to digitally design the Opera House first because Erik worked out of company headquarters in Enfield, Connecticut. After his section was completed, it had to be carefully transported to Australia.

In the cutaway section, you can see all the intricate details of the building including the stage, the auditorium, as well as the dressing rooms. This piece of work is absolutely incredible and the estimated 20,000 lucky attendees of Brickvention got to take a closeup look at it. Ryan notes, “I’ve always wanted to do the Opera House and it’s been my personal Mount Everest of Lego, it’s been bugging me for years and years because it’s such a difficult shape.” The Sydney Opera House will most likely be used in future promotional tours as well as museum exhibitions. Check out more images of the model below or head over to Ryan’s Flickr to see larger images.

December 18, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There are some things that are made from LEGO that are just unbelievable until you see it. Steve Sammartino and Raul Oaida created the Super Awesome Micro Project which is a life-sized LEGO car that is powered by air and has a top speed of about 18mph. It is styled as a hot rod and used more than 500,000 LEGO pieces to create which includes four orbital engines and 256 pistons. The project was crowdfunded with a single tweet and forty people jumped on board to help out. Check out the awesome video above.

LEGO Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) by Stormbringer

December 12, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

I don’t do much MOCs on the site but there are some that really catch my eye. One such MOC is Stormbringer’s Attack on Titan diorama. Attack on Titan aka Shingeki no Kyojin is one of my all-time favorite anime shows and seeing Stormbringer’s model makes me want the show to return quicker for the second season.

The display shows a variety of Titans already inside the Walls and attacking the district including a large Titan hand on the right side. The walls of the buildings and the ground are very nicely textured and gives you the feel of the district. You also see a couple members of the Survey Corps as well as a couple of unfortunate souls. Great job Stormbring! Now I’m off to rewatch the episodes.

Today is a very special day for Doctor Who fan because today is The Day of the Doctor. The highly popular TV series celebrates their 50th Anniversary today and our friend Mariann over at Model Building Secrets has created some builds to mark the occasion. She has created not only the 10th and 11th Doctors, but she has also created River Song and the iconic TARDIS all in Miniland scale.

Remembering September 11 With LEGO

September 11, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today is September 11 and people around the world are doing various things to remember the lives lost during the tragic event in 2001. Our good friend Mariann Asanuma (Model Building Secrets) created the above LEGO mosaic of the iconic Raising the Flag at Ground Zero picture by photographer Thomas E. Franklin to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the event but it is still fitting for every year since it remind us that our resolve grows stronger every year.

Nathan Sawaya has also created a piece to remember the event and has created a version of Yellow featuring the famous Statue of Liberty showing her heart.

I wanted to do a special piece for the city. The Statue of Liberty is a welcoming symbol of this city and ultimately she is all about heart.

Flickr user TAMUMick has recreated a firefighter helmet with a prominent 343 in the front to represent the 343 FDNY firefighters who perished during the September 11 while protecting the citizens of New York.

If you have something created with LEGO bricks to commemorate September 11, feel free to contact us and we’ll feature your works of art as well. Never forget 9/11.
