Amazing Island Fortress Built on an Unusual Baseplate


This amazing castle MOC, named island fortress was built and shared by LEGO fan and flickr.com user Khang Huynh. The colors and fine details are great on this one but what it makes it so unique is that the fortress is built on a tan colored duplo raised baseplate. I have never seen that part used in a MOC before and I think its a really nice part use in this case. I also like design of the tree and addition of the statue. Be sure to check out the builders flickr photo album for the creation to take a closer look.

BrickHeadz Style Lady Liberty by Michael Jasper

As a fan of the LEGO Brickheadz line I really appreciate high quality custom Brickheadz MOC's. Flickr user and LEGO fan Michael Jasper shared this awesome Lady Liberty MOC in his photostream. The attention to the detail is really great and I especially like the perfectly usage of two different grill pieces. Addition of the 2x1 printed tile piece that comes with the Lady Liberty minifigure from the Collectible minifigure series 6 is also a good touch.

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.

Fountain of Blood in the Shape of a Girl


I like always liked brick-built sculpture-like MOC's. Flickr.com user and LEGO fan timofey_tkachev recently shared this beautiful MOC called "Fountain of Blood" in his photo-stream. It's always hard to replica organic shapes with LEGO pieces but the creator managed to do an impressive job on the shaping of the girl figure. I especially liked the hair section which was built with different types of tentacle and horn/tooth pieces.

Orgrim Doomhammer from WoW


Talented MOC builder and flickr.com user LEGO 7 built and recently shared this impressive big figure MOC, Orgrim Doomhammer which is a World of Warcarft character. The shaping and the accessories of the figure are all done amazingly well. I especially liked how the hands and the face is modeled. The realistic and organic look of the body is achieved by using lots curved slope pieces all around the body. The base was also built nicely with the stone statues etc.

Impressive Roman Building Complex by Antonio Cerretti


LEGO fan and flickr.com user Antonio Cerretti a.k.a. Praetorian- shared this huge and amazing ancient Roman themed MOC in his photo stream last week. There are tons of beautiful details to point out. I really like the colored stripes on the walls and the golden details on the head of the columns. The brickwork on the floor inside the temple is impressive as well. Statues with different poses are also nice and accurate addition. There is also a small army inside the building complex as well. This is absolutely one of the greatest historical building MOC's of the year.

Temple Arrival by Mihai Marius Mihu

LEGO fan and flickr.com user Mihai Marius Mihu recently shared this beautiful Roman temple MOC in his photo-stream. I especially like the white minifigure statues which looks like they are made out of marble stone. Dark red back-grounds behind the statues are also a nice touch and makes the statues even more interesting. I also liked the golden details on the roof sections as well.

These brick-built life-size statues of birds of prey were built and shared by flikr.com user Joe Perez a.k.a MortalSwordsman whose creations we blogged before like the sprinting black panther.

Golden eagle is bigger than the pelegrine falcon as it should be according to the real sizes of the birds. The creator used many shades of brown and managed to make it look perfectly natural.

Centaur Knight Mech-8

This outstanding mech was shared by flickr.com user and talented builder LEGO 7. This mech is not like a common two-legged robot. This one is a centaur and a knight at the same time! The orange-light bluish gray color-scheme fits the MOC very well since the orange is mostly liked by sci-fi builders. The model very posable and the shaping of the legs are really impressive. This is an outstanding mech build for sure. The builder also shared this amazing alien-riding predator model which you may want to check them out too.

Flickr member and LEGO Fan Amida Na has shared the alien monster Kaiju Knifehead from the movie Pasific Rim (2013). This creation is really unique with its huge size and great surface modeling. He also built MOC of a stuffed dragon which is also another great MOC that you have to see. Interestingly we have seen a very similar knifehead model before built by Olive Sean in 2013.

Brick-built Lucky Luke is faster than his shadow

http://www.flickr.com/photos/7kyubi7/11370519085/ 

Amazing Lucky Luke statue is created by the Flickr member 6kyubi6. According to the descriptions he built it for round 2 of the Tag Team Tournament contest on BrickPirate.net "Comic character brickbuild". He built almost every detail with simple bricks, plates and tiles yet he is very succesful. The shaping of the face is really outstanding. He also recreated the Shadow Showdown scene with his brickbuild model. One small difference is that the Lucky Luke doesn't smoke in the original version.

Unicorn on Fire

http://www.flickr.com/photos/retinence/11344700505/

Mike Nieves a.k.a retinence shared his latest creation Rapidash in his flickr. Rapidash is a Pokemon character and it seems like a unicorn on fire. I always like statues in LEGO especially when built non-brick parts. Mike managed to built a statue with an organic design using minifigure body parts, dishes and bones. I think body and head of a horse could not be built better with LEGO.
