You’ve heard of Blacktron, those scoundrels who scoured the LEGO universe mercilessly in the 80s and early 90s. But the universe is nothing if not balanced, and so a few fans have banded together to bring us Whitetron. I can’t tell if they’re any more peaceful than their darkly clad counterparts, but they sure would be a lot easier to see against a starry backdrop. This little fighter craft by Tim Goddard has a great mix of clean lines and aggressive detailing, with lots of minifigure blasters and binoculars used to greeble out the engine compartment. And while this awesome rover by Frost was built back in February, we couldn’t highlight the theme and let it go by without mention. I’m particularly struck by the style that the black five-spoked wheel covers give when paired with the white space wheels. Frost also built this great little exploration buggy, which has a wonderful cartoonish feel. I’m not...

The Ninjago City modular set, aside from being one of the largest modular sets so far, is jam-packed with amazing interior details. This ramen and sushi bar by SpaceBrick would be right at home next to the official set. This scene is full of great details, like the gentleman with the fishing pole which uses an added LEGO string for a line and the ladder used for a frame at the front counter. Even the sideways window elements with visible studs at the bottom and a narrow gap at the top add perfect visual texture. This model would also fit perfectly into our Ninjago City Collaborative project for this year’s Brickcon in October! The post Ramen and sushi bar is mouth watering appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Daniel

It seems like a crime how underrated Dutch builder Barthezz Brick is, and he’s lucky to have Spider-Man stop this crime! Barthezz Brick has been featured on the Brothers Brick before with a smaller downtown city scene, but he has outdone himself with this large and extremely detailed diorama of Spider-Man, surrounded by busy and realistic city life. There is so much detail here that it is hard to take it all in without revisiting the pictures a few extra times. The busy city life shows both completely oblivious citizens and ones very much involved in the story, such as the robber right under the corner of the larger building and a security guard and obviously Spider-Man chasing him. While the amazing minifig action fills it with life, the diorama would work perfectly fine on its own, from the water tank on the roof and the level of detail above ground...

Built by the members of SwissLUG as a collaborative build, this amazing Victorian-age city has details everywhere you look. Unlike many LEGO cities, the properly scaled tall ship at the docks doesn’t dwarf the rest of the layout, fitting right in while also serving as a beautiful anchor in the center of the scene. The builders have named the city Brickerei, and have assembled it to display at public LEGO shows along with their club. On the far end of the town lies the church with a small cemetery. Builder Peter Dornbach says the design was inspired by the Bodelwyddan church in Wales. It’s connected to the rest of the town by a fantastic little arched bridge for the roadway. Here also is where one of the rail lines exits the city, carrying the beautiful classic steam engine and ornate passenger cars. Just across the rail bridge into the city is the large quay...

Large spaceships are a flagship of LEGO space creations, where “large” is generally accepted to be 100 studs in length (or honestly any other spatial dimension) — these are called capital ships or SHIPs (Super Huge Investment in Parts). For the past few years, it’s seemed like there might be fewer built throughout the year, because many people rather concentrate their efforts in the annual SHIPtember community challenge in September. So in a way, Lysander Chau‘s Battleship Andromeda is like a Christmas gift in May, and I hope your big spaceship lust is as satisfied as mine. The spaceship has some nice red and yellow highlights that break up the grey surface. Among these, I especially love what looks to be giant red intakes and a yellow-lined hangar door in the front. The overall shape is not the most original amongst LEGO spaceships, but that is part of its charm. It...
