Hats off and souls out to Imagine’s rather fantastic LEGO creation. Imagine has broken the mortal boundaries of time and space, going beyond to channel the dark master and has built LEGO Cthulhu. There’s every reason to be proud of this creation – no wonder that the designer is encouraging people to sign in and […]
Superhero Week: LEGO superheroes
Our second post in Superhero Week is to look at some LEGO heroes. There are some impressive LEGO builds out there but my favourite may well be Superman and Young Justice versus Brainiac in a battle around The Daily Planet building. There are easier ways to get started with superhero LEGO. The company has both […]
A LEGO Turing Machine
Today is Alan Turing’s 100th birthday. He’s seen by many as the father of both computer science and AI. If you’re struggling to solve today’s Google logo then imagine the insight needed to create a working Turing machine out of LEGO. That’s what Jeroen van den Bos and Daby Landman at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica […]
Incredible LEGO Superman mosaic
Based off Jim Lee’s Superman is this impressive LEGO mosaic from Dave Ware (aka BrickWares). What does the Jim Lee artwork look like? Glad you asked. Image via Brothers Brick. Original here.
Impressive LEGO Strandbeest
Are you familiar with strandbeests? They are a strange mix between art and engineering. The Strandbeest is the creation of Dutch artist Theo Jansen who has “evolved” the design over the years. He said; “Over time, these skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storms and water, and eventually I want […]
LEGO Star Wars re-imagine the barrel organ
The organ grinder of yesteryear had nothing on these LEGO creations. Whereas some traditional barrel organs rotated to flick against metal pins which operate valves in a wind chest – these LEGO barrels are rigged to press keys on a keyboard. Even if the organ version of the Star Wars music doesn’t grab your attention […]
LEGO fuses Evangelion and Gundam
This creation mixes Evangelion and Gundam styles together. I say that up front because I didn’t twig from the title “EVA Gundam”. I heard the music and though to myself – wait, no, that’s the wrong mecha. Then I doubted myself. Wait, no, maybe… It’s a mix. That’s why. It’s impressive but it’ll mess with […]
Did LEGO leak an Avengers spoiler? [spoilers]
This post contains speculation and spoilers. If you’re trying to avoid either of those then skip to the next article. In the Captain America movie Hydra and the Red Skull are trying to use a device known as the tesseract with weapons of mass destruction. It has been suggested that the tesseract is a cosmic […]
Motorised LEGO tachikoma is mega awesome
What’s not to love about this video? We’ve got LEGO. We’ve got a clever motorised model. We’ve a cute tachikoma straight out of Ghost in the Shell. The three together? Awesome. Mahjqa is the brains behind this project. You can check out some more pictures on Flickr or – if you’re awesome yourself – attempt […]
Stop motion LEGO duel
What would you do if you had a pile of LEGO, some stop motion gear and some talent? I think it would be too hard to resist making a stop motion LEGO battle to the death. That’s not with this video is about though. This is the official music video for the Afterlife remix by […]
