ARES-3, an impressive spaceship MOC with a unique shape

https://www.flickr.com/photos/bobdequatre/31523923924

This impressive spaceship MOC was recently built and shared by LEGO fan and flickr.com user BobDeQuatre who is known for his great space MOC's and was blogged here multiple times with his incredible creations. The shaping of ARES-3 is very unique and I realy liked the usage of different shades of the pink/violet on the hull as a trim color. According to the description this MOC was based on one of the builders LDD MOC which was created exactly three years ago.

Futuristic Military Aircraft: Bell V-35


This futuristic military aircraft model, Bell V-35 is shared by LEGO fan and flick.com user Sunder_59 in his photo-stream. I like the overall design and the color blocking on this vehicle. Actually this is a very high quality computer render picture rather than not a physical model but it deserved to be blogged with his impressive design. You can find the original 3d model of the vehicle in this mecabricks page. Custom figures with camo uniforms fits the vehicle very well. Rotating engines/propellers and the cockpit are the most beautiful sections in my opinion.

Grimlock want our planet



LEGO has great part variety to create a model which doesnt't look like a LEGO. LEGO Fan and flickr.com member Nicola Stocchi has recently shared an impressive model from Transformers 4 - Age of Extinction. It is very afflictive because it is totally build with LEGO Digital Designer and rendered. Grimlock is almost 1 meter long in his maximum dimension. Nicola used 4410 digital parts to create this beast and give an ability for movements for using technic pieces.

Time Machine by Dorian Glacet


We don't often blog digital creations but flickr member Dorian Glacet's Time machine is one of the exceptions. I liked the Time machine movie very much and this digital MOC really cought my attention. This digital model is built very movie-accurate and the rendering is done very well. The accessories and furniture in this scene are as good as the time machine itself. I especially like the pendulum clock on the corner.

This is not a real photograph!


Believe it or not. This picture is not a real photo. It is a render done by Eurobricks member virtualrepublic. Here is the forum topic where he shares the steps.

Portuguese Steam Train


This a LDD replica of a Portuguese Steam Train by Sergio Batista. There are tons of distinctive details which are brilliantly made to consist this LDD work. It is really challenging work to give complex of the cab and the rest of the locomotive. Also rendering is worth the presentation. Excellent work!

Battle of Endor with 71.000 pieces Super Star Destroyer

 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=401256 

We don't usually post about digital designs in this blog unless they are realy awesome. This time an awesome creation is from Eurobricks member Fox Hound. He created a microscale super star destroyer from Star Wars in LDD + LDRAW. He used 71.000 pieces to complete the ship. Additionally he also built other ships featured in the Battle of Endor (from the movie: Star Wars Episode VI). The battle looks really amazing. Here is the Brickshelf gallery link for more high resolution pictures from the ship.

Classic Cars


Here are recent digitalty modelled cars of Brickshelf member lego911. The cars are so perfectly modelled and finely detailed even in this scale that you probably wouldn't notice they were built with LEGO parts if you didn't look closely.
