Right about now you’re wondering who this is, so was I. Normally about that same time I’m thinking about the research I’m about to dive into so I can share this with at least some knowledge. But I’ll spare you the google, this is an original creation by Eero Okkonen, no deep dive necessary. If you want to learn more though there’s a ton of pictures and description on Eero’s website, and it’s an absolute treasure trove let me tell you. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
He’s one of, if not the, most recognized and famous comic book villains in the world, Batman’s titular nemesis Joker. I almost said “popular” but I find it difficult to use that term for a raving psychotic, even if he is a favorite among fans. And builder ZetoVince must be a fan to dedicate this amount of care, time and effort to this incredible bust. The contouring, shaping and color use on this is outstanding, making it one of the best characterizations I’ve ever seen in bricks. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
Me: Didn’t I just post a cool Zelda MOC a few days ago? Also me: Yeah, what of it? I really can’t get enough of Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, and this little bit of scenery from Hyrule by builder speedyhead has me questioning my need to get to the studio this morning so soon. Maybe just a little exploring first? Yeah, that’s a good idea. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
A large portion of my childhood was dedicated to the construction of plastic model kids. I had lots of favorites, the Aurora monster kits for instance, but the ones that really stand out were the Tom Daniel hotrods from Monogram. I built them all, some more than once. So this brilliant rendition of Paddy Wagon by Norton74 is a huge nostalgia rush for me. The detail is amazing, and there’s so much shiny I can’t stand it (I think I have an additional chrome-osome…get it?) Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
I know I’m a VFX geek, I’ve come to terms with that. Even though I’ve spent the last 30 years working on movies, I’m still a total spaz for it. So my first instinct when I saw this awesome cargo ship by ZCerberus wasn’t a desire to swoosh it and wasn’t a desire to make the cannons go “pew pew”, it was to mount it on a pylon in front of a green screen and do some motion control shots. What’s wrong with me? Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
