This steampunk world has been a project of talented LEGO builder Castor Troy for a while. It earns the name “steampunk” not through the gothic architecture of the castle but through the vehicle designs you can see in the photos. (Via Brothers Brick)

Have you ever seen so much LEGO? Groot and Rocket Raccoon built to scale
Waay. More Guardians of the Galaxy. This video from Marvel is a time lapse that shows some 300 hours shrunk into little over two minutes. Watch as 80 different LEGO builders piece together a Rocket Raccoon and a Groot. These are the LEGO models that made it to San Diego Comic-Con 2014 and Guardian of […]
Strangely cute, cleverly designed LEGO minifig mecha
These LEGO constructs are just the right size for minifigs and look incredible. They’re curved where you would not think curves possible, they’re detailed at a surprising level and have been built with an impressive eye for detail. I can’t decide though; are these scary mechas or cute? These mecha designs are the work of […]
Anti-zombie designs: Walking house model built from LEGO
Inspired by Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests LEGO builder Jason Allemann created this walking LEGO platform. I watch this video and think of houses in a post-apocalyptic zombie future. Zombies suck at climbing and tend to be slow. Ideally you’d want a fast place to live that was high up. Of course, your actual anti-zombie house would […]
Greenpeace to LEGO: Not Awesome
I love those little LEGO plastic bricks. I do. Greenpeace points out a problem. To help make those LEGO blocks the company has partnered with Shell. Greenpeace isn’t happy about Shell drilling the Artic for oil. To make their point Greenpeace (who are outstandingly good at digital marketing) commissioned a video. This video has the […]
Life sized Hatsune Miku created block by block in LEGO
Japan’s favourite digital idol Hatsune Miku took a step out of VR with this LEGO project. Chaosbrick made the first LEGO version of the Vocaloid star and now, years later, is back with this life sized version. To see more details, including some “fan service angles”, pop over to the Brickshelf for a gallery.
LEGO promotes women in science
After thinking about it for a while – LEGO’s decided to go ahead and produce a set of female scientist minifigure sets. We also get dinosaurs in the set. Well; a dinosaur skeleton anyway. LEGO picked these figures from suggestions given to it via LEGO Ideas and put the concept through an internal review process. […]
Wasteland ruins built in LEGO
This diorama by master LEGO builder Patrick Massey (aka MassEditor) is equal parts clever and impressive. I was first caught by how well the wasteland worked as a LEGO construct. I’d tried as an eager young war gamer to design wasteland terrains and always failed. However, given a bit of extra time to study the […]
Snake Mecha LEGO design
LEGO builder Jerac created this Ninjago styled snake mecha. There’s no doubt of the snakeyness here and that’s hard to do with blocks. At the same time the design oozes mecha with those rocket launchers on the shoulders and sinister crab-like legs.
Short film: Action Bill
There’s a lot going on in this short animation from AMAA Productions. Animated with LEGO Action Bill follows one busy day in the life of William Shakespeare. What happens? A couple of Star Trek captains happen, that’s what. Use this teleport link to randomly jump over to another video.
