TAG RESULTS FOR: bricks

Yo, JC, we’re cool, right? I mean, I know, I was born Jewish. And while I’m not a practicing Jew, per se, you won’t strike me down for spreading the word about this LEGO image of yourself, right? Just wanted to get that out of the way. As a geeky God fearing people, we believe the only way to truly honor our savor is to recreate him with the always-versatile LEGO bricks. A Swedish protestant church assembled this six-foot tall... Continue reading

Headcrabs, crowbars and G Men, oh my! This is a pretty nifty diorama made entirely out of LEGOs. It features the cast of Valve’s ultra-popular Half-Life 2. I’m really enjoying the blood on the wall and I’m really curious as to who designed that headcrab sucking on some face towards the bottom. Link

Or at least I’m assuming that’s the deal with Michael Jasper’s jazzy LEGO creation, which features Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon jamming out. My favorite part, aside from the well-crafted instruments, is the hair and face of the bass player. Look at that blonde doo! And that smile is too devilish for words. They must have that reefer madness that’s been going around town. Link

LEGOs are a fascinating toy that have been around for over 30 years. Rarely are we not impressed by some of the creations people make with them. Have you ever wondered where all the magic starts? Gizmodo goes inside LEGO to find out what makes the minifig the most expensive part of any LEGO set. What they find is horrifying. Hundreds and thousands of parts and pieces making up the body of the minifig are scattered throughout the assembly line.... Continue reading

Don’t get me wrong, the Donkey Kong clock was cool, but it was a motionless picture with not a lot going for it other than being just an ordinary clock. Since we enjoy LEGOs so much and regard Donkey Kong as one of the greatest inventions since blood pressure wary underwear, we’re positive this LEGO construct is sure to catch your attention. The infamous barrel-chucking Donkey Kong and the resilient Italian plumber are recreated in LEGO form complete with sound... Continue reading

When I was growing up, I had a friend named Kyle. Kyle loved LEGOs almost as much as I did, except he had one problem: he kept building huge cocks. That’s right. Dicks everywhere. He’d come over and build a replica of the Twin Towers shaped like dicks, a dick-shaped sentry gun, make a dick-shaped lake and then some. He’s exactly the kind of kid who would make a LEGO version of Stephen Hawking. I was going to take this... Continue reading

We love LEGOs and while we’re partial to the Mindstorms set, Anders Søborg has built and programmed his own NXT scanner comprised mostly of these bricks.  For those not familiar with NXT scanners, they’re a “standalone” scanner that can scan and save images as BMP-files.  The images scanned can be saved in either 24-bit true color, 8-bit color or gray scale. Although the device isn’t faster than any other scanner on the market (it’s quite slow actually), cut it some... Continue reading

I’m pretty sure anyone who hates LEGOs is a commie bastard. The classic colored bricks have been a staple of everyone’s childhood and that love continues into adulthood. Case in point is the world’s largest LEGO tower, which contains 500,000 LEGO bricks and is 100 feet tall. Built in Windsor, UK, the huge structure commemorates LEGO’s 50th anniversary. Personally, I haven’t bought a set in a few years, but I will never forget the early-’90s spaceship sets. Those were king.... Continue reading

Ralph Savelsberg creates scale models using nothing but Lego’s. His most recent creations are two military grade helicopters, made to scale as close as bricks can be scaled. The CH-46 Sea Knight and the Mi-24 “Hind” are both extraordinary examples of how much can really be done with the little rectangular building blocks. Notice: It’s probably not the best idea to send these models into battle. They’d be just as successful as a tank made out of balloons. Psh, like... Continue reading
