The Legend of Hercules trailer

December 15, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comment box below as the internet hasn’t been all that kind to the trailer. We have Kellan Lutz as the Greek hero Hercules blessed with incredible strength but cursed with having to work for a douche of a King. It seems to me as if they’re […]

The Falworth dragon

December 15, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

LEGO builder Mark of Falworth (sometimes known as Mark Erickson) is responsible for this very clever dragon. He uses Bionicle pieces to help create a dragon that looks smooth and fleshy. This isn’t a blocky box build at all. Check out his Flickr collection.

Sexy monster calendar for 2014?

December 12, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Want something different for your office wall this year? I think The Calendar of Sexy Monsters would be perfect. Except, well, when I say “sexy monsters” we’re not really even edging into hentai territory.

Yes, that’s a life size flying TARDIS

December 12, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This might not be straight out of Doctor Who but it’s very clever. It just goes to show what these quadcopter units can do. Okay, I’ve not counted all the blades… and, oh wait, there’s this landing issue. How does it land? Hats off to the Flyonix team for a cracking design and video.
