Merry Christmas!

Here's a scene from Legoland California a couple of years ago. Photo credit to Ryan H.

Hi there

Meet Mort, by rongYIREN.

Surfite's up

Peter Blackert built this Surfite, a unique beach car from the '60's.

Tastes like zebra....

A winner has been announced for the recent "A Mime is a Terrible Thing to Waste" contest hosted by the good folks over at The Brothers Brick.  Congratulations to Iain Heath for both his victory and his great building techniques in "Tastes like Zebra."  

I'm dreaming of a white Legoland Christmas

It looks like winter has come to Legoland Billund. It's just cold where I am. If we have to shiver, at least I'd like some snow.

Stolen kiss

Roland Peschetz has this lovely photo from Legoland Germany.

Old McDonald had some LEGO

Peter Blackert made this great Claas ARION 600 Tractor.

Karateka

Csabi presents karateka.

Sax and violins

John Moffat made this self portrait, with a great saxophone design.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I think that MisaQa's turkey is approximately miniland scale. I hope you all have a great day.

Fullplastic alchemist

Sabarrus has started a project to make MOCs from the Japanese manga Fullmetal Alchemist, starting with Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric.

Ballerina

Mariann Asanuma made this great ballerina Christmas ornament. You can even purchase it at her Etsy store.

Blue ribbon models

The LEGO stores regularly feature miniland-scale models. Unfortunately, these are behind little windows and are generally difficult to photograph. Kreativ Snail participated in building these blue ribbon models along with other PennLUG members and posted many photographs.

Blower Bentley

Lego911 presents a great Blower Bentley.

Souvenir booth

One of Loozrboy's photos from Miniland Billund includes some great microscale models as toys for the miniland figures. For more on microscale building, check out MicroBricks.

Dollhouse

Loozrboy has a great gallery of photos from Legoland Billund.

Creepy bricks

City Blocks, a LEGO business, made a whole series of horror scenes that were on display at BrickCon.




Via The Living Brick.

Orange tavern

Okay, I'm a little late for Halloween, but Nelson Yrizarry built what he calls a UCS scale tudor tavern, but I'll call it close enough to miniland scale. Check out the furniture and other great details.

Sweeny Todd

AgentNickWolfe presents Sweeney Todd.

The wait is over for bad

Lino Martins reveals his '87 El Camino, built for the most recent challenge at Lugnuts. Be sure to follow the link and read the whole story.

The wait is over for good

Nathan Proudlove reveals his ’88 Camaro IROC-Z Police Interceptor for the most recent Lugnuts challenge. Be sure to follow the link and read the whole story.

Happy Halloween

I know I've featured these before, but I really like k-hatch's monsters. I hope you all have a spooky night.

Happy Halloween

Laura*b presents some photos from Legoland Halloween 2009.

Happy Halloween

More Halloween themed photos from Legoland. These from 2009 by Mariann Asanuma.

Happy Halloween

Every year Legoland decorates for Halloween. Marcorbito has some pictures from this year's Brick or Treat.

Among the Lilliputians

One of the coolest things about working at Legoland, IMO, would be the chance to see all of the great models up close. Mariann Asanuma is a former model builder there, and she posted this picture of relaxing in the hills above Legowood.

Built Ford Tough

Check out MrTruck's 1940 Ford pickup.  It's a nice ride.

Put on your dancing shoes

Au_riverhorse celebrated his friends' wedding LEGO-style.

Legoland Florida

Some details have come out on Legoland Florida, including some artists' renderings. The park will open in October 2011. Adult tickets will be $65 for a day, or $99 for an annual pass. Areas of the park will include The Beginning, Fun Town, Miniland USA, Castle Hill, Land of Adventure, XTreme, LEGO City, Imagination Zone, Pirate’s Cove and DUPLO Village. There's also a sneak preview video, but that seems to be all footage from Legoland California with a few of the artists' renderings thrown in.

Practically drives itself

Miron89 presents his great Bugatti T 35.

 

Complete with working steering wheel!

Happy Halloween

LEGO Club newsletter subscribers got instructions for a Miniland Dracula. Thanks to TooMuchDew for posting this!

Good and bad

I'm guessing that the next LUGnuts challenge will be something like "Good and bad", because Nathan Proudlove and Lino Martins have teamed up again to make a pair of miniland MOCs with good and bad, respectively. I can't wait to actually see the cars.

Sit, Ubu, sit

Moctagon Jones presents a woman with her dog.

Choo choo choose me

TimmyC made this Miniland train.

Praetorian

Marin Stipkovic built this great Praetorian for a contest over on the Croatian AFOL forum Kockice.

What big ABS you have, grandma

MonsterBrick gives us a costume malfunction.

Bugatti

Lego911 has a great Bugatti Type 35B. I particularly like the grill plates along the side. My only disappointment is the arm design for the figure standing behind the car.

Go ask Alice

Arkov recently built Alice 2 inspired by the video game American Mcgee's Alice.

Lee Jones Memorial Dollhouse

You may recall from two years ago Heather LEGOgirl's incredibly detailed dollhouse. Well, she's been busy, because she's come up with an even larger MOC, the Lee Jones Memorial Dollhouse.
