LEGO town

This is one of the most amazing fantastic things I have ever seen build with Lego. How Dave DeGobbi got the idea I do not know it is simply put a work of art and something I would have loved to have build or played with.
Dave DeGobbi’s steampunk inspired creation takes a small city and puts it on a mobile platform! The idea is crazy enough to work both in concept and execution. This creation is supposedly a luxury resort set in a post-apocalyptic world. What wouldn’t I pay for …

The dreams that bricks are made of

Some people look at Lego bricks and see great potential buried within them. In their hands Lego rises above its childhood origins and gets a chance to aspire, to be part of something great.
In Warren Elsmore’s hands 11,000 Lego bricks have been fashioned into a scale model of the Forth Railway Bridge.
He even made a stunning Lego model of London’s St Pancras station. Use the ling below to see the BBC video.

I know which love the most but I have always have had a soft spot for the rubic cube. Now what a better mix than this a Lego robot controlled by a Nokia phone which solves a rubic cube.

I have only once managed to solve the 3×3×3 rubik cube let alone a 4×4×4. So this a wee bit of cheating getting the phone to solve but it quite cool to watch.

Lego Halo Fan Movie

I’m not a gamer and only know what I have read the odd place about the game called Halo. But I am a Lego person and when I spotted this trailer the other week, I was amazed.
I had take my hat off for Alex Kobbs, who have spend the last six years summer holidays building the set and then shooting the movies.
The movie is called “The Battle of the Brick” and should be online for us all to watch early 2010, I for on can’t wait.

LEGO history

I don’t read the Daily Wail, well only there is something about cycling or LEGO. Their article, “When Lego lost its head – and how this toy story got its’ happy ending” is pretty good and tell us how LEGO managed to pull themselves out off the red and back in to the black.
Even though I’m old school LEGO fan and is not so keen on the new fancy LEGO bits. I’m very impressed with what they are doing, hey I even got a Indiana Jones set myself.
Though …

LEGO winter

Since London, well south of England and other bit of this country is do for a bit of show over the next few days. I post these amazing LEGO Star Wars photo taken by a Finish photographer called Avanaut.
The setup is simple really: All I use is an old transparent CD storage box, some water and my trusty old A4 lightbox for lighting. For the bottom of the box I have a piece of gray Lego baseplate cut in form and hotglued on a piece of acrylic sheet to …

LEGO sorter, wrong.

Sorry this is showing my age. I’m from the old school of LEGO, back when the most fancy piece we had was a roof tile.
The joy of play with LEGO is to search for that bit you just saw two minutes ago but can’t for the life of you find again. And then because you could not find what you were looking for, you either built something else or swapped with your fellow Lego builder for the day.
Now this Kiwi company, Box4Blox, have come up with a Lego sorter, …

LEGO soul

What ever you say Lego does have a soul. The more you play with Lego the more alive it becomes.
So when ever you build a house, car or a walking space shuttle with rolling feet’s that you use to hunt down and destroy the evil Playmobile stronghold that have taken over the end of your bed. And no matter how much you try, you can never build that again but it is still there.
Don’t you just love LEGO :)

LEGO pop-up house

This is simply engineering in the highest degree, how can you just not love this.
Taken from http://www.brothers-brick.com/. And as the poster over there says it takes your breath away.

The builder notes in the video that he used 4,500 LEGO pieces to build his pop-up Kinkaku-ji, and it weighs 4 kg. Be sure to watch the whole video — talapz shows how this amazing creation pops up out of the box.
