The Battle of Thermopylae

Simon Pickard, (brick spartan on Flickr) has posted his completed creation: the Battle of Thermopylae!

I've blogged some work-in-progress pictures of this before, but it's amazing to see the finished project! :)

He says it took nearly two years to build, and tens of thousands of pieces were used.

And almost 500 minifigs are battling it out on the massive cliffs!

Check out all the detail on Flickr!

300 in LEGO!

Simon Pickard, (Brick.Spartan on Flickr) has been working on a huge diorama showing the battle of Thermopylae as it was in the novel and movie "300".   

This thing is very impressive. The size alone is staggering to the average LEGO builder. 

The amount of figs included is a sight to behold.

Simon states that the project is nearing completion! And we may see some pics of the finished build on Flickr soon. :)

This huge build by ZCerberus is a fantastic example of SNOT rocks and superb trees and foliage.

Plus, the building is a work of art in itself.

Be sure to check it out on Flickr!

Sci-fi At It's Best!

Some of you may remember this beautiful scene created by Bart De Dobbelaer a while ago..

Well, He's given us some pictures of the vehicles that he used in the moc.

The amazing amount of detail and excellent color scheme make these machines a sight to behold.

But that's not all, he has created the alien adversaries of the human miners.

The hive is awakening! 

When I saw this one I was like "Whoa!"

It looks like something strait out of a sci-fi movie! :)

Everard Lodge

Some of you may remember I joined the MocOlympics some time ago
And in the third round I'm facing Leda Kat, a very talented and experienced builder.

So I built a scene of a Medieval Hunting Lodge.

I'm very happy with the way this build came out! :)

The fall colored leave come from a company called Alt Bricks.

They are very high quality pieces and I would certainly recommend them.

Behold! Yet another LEGO blog begins!

Well, I've wanted to run one of these for a while and I finally took the plunge! :)

I'll be using this blog to post LEGO creations that I think deserve some attention, but I'll try to mix it up with plenty of technique tutorials, and maybe even a few stories or comics for good measure.

Here is one of my MOCs built way back in February 2012

This was made as an advertisement for the LCC project, which at the time was still in the works.

The notable things about this creation were the angled rockwork, the detailed wall, and the sagging canopy.
