War(LEGO)hammer 40K

I saw this on the Brother Brick blog. Jerac went and made some awesome WH40K Space Marines, Dreadnaught and Landspeeder out of lego. He went a step further and made his own Space Marine Minifigs out of LEGO bricks, he didn't use normal minifigs. The result... Very Awesome.

Going Green...

This post on Brothers Brick really impressed me, a very nice Mech by Andrew Lee’s (onosendai2600) called Poison Arrow, made with mostly green bricks, instead of the usual grey people would expect for mechs. The mech was made as an entry for the Clunker and Alien Mecha Contest.

The Empire Strikes Back Lego chess set

I Came accross this Custom Lego Chess set by Brandong Griffith (icgetaway) on the Brothers Brick blog. I must say, it's quite impressive. Instead of single figures, he used scenes from the movie for each of the chess pieces in the back row of each side. The chess board was made to resemble a Hoth type setting, and when opened has space to store each of the chess pieces. All in all a VERY nice custom build.
