Drogon

Even if you're not a Game of Thrones fan (for the record, I totally am) you have to admire this absolutely stunning rendition of Daenerys' dragon Drogon. Just like in the series, he's a showstopper, with a wingspan nearly a meter wide! 

999 Happy Haunts Here

My Haunted Mansion loyalty belongs to the original in California, but I'm still quite fond of the mansions in Paris and of course Florida, which is depicted here by builder TJJohn12. They find it delightfully unlivable here, and it's not because of the humidity. Now, "look alive" and we'll continue our little tour...

Dracula

It's getting super spooky on Flickr these days, almost as scary as last night on the streets of San Francisco (I've never been here for Halloween, they do it right here in "the city"). This rendition of everyone's favorite blood sucker is the first Halloween build build from vitreolum, and hopefully not that last.

GatotKaca

According to builder d' Qiu Brick GatotKaca is an "Iron boned Ashura Hunter Inspired from Indonesia Wayang kulit performance, Gatotkaca is a half blood Ashura who had been born with the body of an adult. He can fly across the skies like lightning and hunt down is enemies the Asuras". I don't know what else I can add except "wow!"

Oh You Wanted Candy For Halloween?

Mischievous mechanical genius JK Brickworks has something special in store for the kids this Halloween. All you have to do is tap the pumpkin, and you'll get a delicious treat...or at least it seems that way. Check out the video to see how this clever little bit of spooky fun works.

Jumpin'

If the style of this seems familiar, it's intentional. Builder Grantmasters decided to take a crack at mimicking the style of American street artist Keith Haring, and the results are pretty spectacularly successful. While Keith's work may have been considered subversive, you can't deny the style and impact, and this MOC is just as eye grabbing.

Sukhoi Su-30

Air power changed the face of war as we know it starting with WWI. Since then the world's superpowers have competed with each other to create the world's fastest and most maneuverable fighter jets to achieve air superiority over their enemies. While the United States has dominated in the development and production of fighters, Russia has never been that far behind. Development of the Su-30 may have began in communist Russia, but it wasn't officially put into service until 1996, years after the Soviet Union had been dissolved. New builder Tino Poutiainen has treated us with a detailed microscale version of the Su-30. Let us all hope that this is just the first in a series of unique airplane builds from him.

Benny Rocks Out

Yeah, Benny is well known for his spaceship preoccupation, but did you know he was an intergalactic superstar? Here he is rocking out with the J.E.T.S. which includes Glam Metal Batman on guitar, Blacktronica on bass, J-Bot on the keys, Beats by M-Tron on the drums and The Galaxy Explorers backing them up. Nice build justin_m_winn.

More Spooky Fun

Halloween is a mere four days away, and builder Legohaulic is getting seriously into it. Every day for nearly a week now we've been...treated...to these spectacular and charming little spooky portraits. Most of the traditional mainstays have been covered, what could be left? I'm waiting for a creature from the black lagoon, or maybe a hockey mask, or perhaps a mummy...

Crime Scene Recreation

WARNING, the following images may be unsuitable for some viewers

In late 1978 a crime was committed that the world has never quite recovered from. I can tell you as a first hand witness to this heinous event, I was scarred for life. I am referring of course to the Star Wars Holiday Special which aired November 17, 1978...a day that will live in infamy. Builder storm_tk431 has brilliantly recreated just one of the many scenes of this crime, so that we many never forget.

Retro Modern Flair

This is a living room I'd like to hang out in. You know, play some Cards Against Humanity, watch a movie (let's say...Without a Clue, a really underrated film) and have a fun cocktail with friends. The cool retro modern style is so inviting, like a time capsule of the 60's combined with contemporary sensabilities. Nicely done terez trz.

Gingerbread Train

The 2017 holidays seem to be in a hurry to get here. There was stuff in Micheal's a month ago, my truck insists on playing Christmas carols on my iPod and now here's a gingerbread train from builder Swan Dutchman. Yes, it's a bit early, but just look at this charming little train, you can practically hear the sleigh bells and smell the gingerbread.

Sweden Circa 1979

I've said it many times, the 70's weren't pretty, but there was an unquestionable earnestness to the era. The Gong Show was a thing, disco was on the radio and let's not talk about fashion, but it was all done with a brash energy and unapologetic gusto. Cars weren't pretty back then either, but they were necessary and everywhere. This scene from 1979 Sweden by builder LegoJalex captures the working class vibe perfectly, and feels so very 70's I wouldn't be surprised to see it's on a Thrifty "Twin Pic".

Steampunk Clock

Time, there's never enough of it. Every day I find myself racing one of these for some reason or another, I just have too much I want to accomplish. And now in a true twist of irony, here's something else I don't have time for, building a steampunk clock like Zilmrud. I'll just have to admire his, but not for too long, gotta get back to work.

Merchant Matteo

Bionicle builder Mana Ramp Matron is back with another awesome creation, not only for it's construction, but for the lore behind it. Giving a back story on a build isn't uncommon, many builders weave a little storytelling into their MOCs (which is so cool) but this one is unusual for the subject matter. This is actually based on a previously built character, and tells the story from his past. The original figure of Matteo has seen numerous upgrades and rebuilds over the years, now a new chapter opens, with some of his mysterious past coming to light.

Slim

There's something so stoic about the mechanical wonders of builder m_o_n_k_e_y. Take Slim here, he's clearly robotic, large and capable, but there's also a wistfulness and innocence that comes through. My guess is it's the pose and composition, but I'm not totally certain of it, perhaps there's something else?

Light! There Must Be Land Nearby!

I feel like lighthouses a quite a rare site today in the real world, which isn't something I've thought too much about until I saw this lovely model by Tim Schwalfenberg. With such a dark atmosphere, the white tower really pops and draws your focus to this creation. I think the white stone design was a good choice, besides creating the contrast that begs for your attention. I think white stonework isn't done too often, and works so well for a lighthouse such as this creation. Ships don't need to worry, for this lighthouse will show you the way!

He's Alive...Alive!

...And pretty stinkin' adorable. It's Frankenstein's monster, by builder DOGOD Brick Design. Yes, I said Frankenstein's monster, it's not Frankenstein, that's the doctor that built him. Fun fact: he actually doesn't have a name. He refers to himself (yeah, he actually spoke) as "thy Adam", in a nod to the bible (first man, get it?) but this has never really been explored in the films. Then again he's also never referred to as "Monster" in the book, so we're all wrong.

Argggg!

Avast there me hearties, take ponder at this here MOC with yer good eye and I think you'll agree, LEGO 7 be a fine builder. It be Blackbeard, one of the most feared pirates sailing the seven seas. Just one look at him and me timbers be shivering. 

Boo

Halloween is just 10 days away, and I spent part of the afternoon testing a pumpkin decoration rig. Moments later I discover this wonderful jack-o-lantern by Legohaulic on Flickr, and of course I had to blog it. I love this time of year, what spooky MOCs do you have planned?
