LEGO fan and flickr.com user Alexis Dos Santos shared this awesome MOC of the Space Rocket from The Adventures of Tintin comics in his photostream. The rocket is a very iconic vehichle among the fans of the comic series and the build is the recreation of the rocket from the comic book "Destination Moon".

Obelix from The Adventures of Asterix by George Panteleon


This great statue of iconic comic book and cartoon character Obelix from The Adventures of Asterix was created by flicker user George Panteleon a.k.a. ZetoVince. Quarter dome pieces are mainly used for shaping of the face and the wedge-slope pieces are used the built the hair and the mustache. The shaping is really impressive and very accurate to the character depicted in comics.

Deadpool Action Figure


LEGO fan and flickr.com user BRICK 101 shared this cute brick-built Deadpool action figure in his photostream. The articulation of the figure is impressive. I like the small details like the knife and guns attached on the legs and the printed round 1x1 tile piece used as a belt buckle which has actually a soda pop can top pattern on it. The builder has created many other figures like this before so don't forget to check out his photo-stream.

LEGO Model of the Sirius from the Adventures of Tintin


We have finally returned to blogging from our very long break. Here is a masterpiece LEGO model from flickr.com user Stefan Johansson a.k.a. stej123.  The model is based on the ship seen in the comic book series called Adventures of Tintin created by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, who wrote under the pen name Hergé. Tintin had been published in more than 70 languages with sales of more than 200 million copies. The builder did a wonderful job building this amazing model. For more photos chech out the builders photo album for the model.

The shaping of the LEGO model is done very impressively. From distance one can say that looks like a plastic model. The color and part choices are done very well.


The builder also included minifigures of characters from the book. From left to right: Tintin, Snowy (dog), Professor Calculus, Captain Haddock.

LEGO fan and flickr.com user Paul a.k.a. Brickbaron shared this amazing LEGO creation depicting a scene from a 1950's comic book Batman vs Joker Gotham Theater Showdown in his photostream. This creation also has lots of Power Functions implemented in the MOC. Check out this youtube video to see Power Functions in action. With all those details, colors, techniques and functions this MOC is amazing beyond words.


In addition to his building talent, the builders photography and photo-editing skills are also incredible. The golden ornaments in front of the building were built nicely. Usage of air-baloon pieces for building the cannon is also a good idea.

The rocket design originate from the comic books Destination Moon (French: Objectif Lune) and Explorers on the Moon (French: On a marché sur la Lune) which are the sixteenth and seventeenth volume of The Adventures of Tintin.
