Guimarães Castle WIP

September 11, 2012

Romão Santos is already a well known builder because of his huge constructions and involvement in the social project “Projecto Construir” (“Building project”). “Projecto Construir” is an initiative in social entrepreneurship aimed at providing support for institutionalized persons, in particular children, providing them unique moments in nature playful and educational, through their involvement in the construction of large-scale models with LEGO® bricks.

His current project consists of building a large-scale model of the castle Guimarães. Guimarães is the first capital city of Portugal and its castle an important landmark of the country. Check how great the castle’s model is turning into to :)

The Pillar of Flesh

March 30, 2012

I was astonish with Nannan’s tower. The creativity is great, however the building techniques based on John Boozer’s round towers tutorial are definitely what caught my attention. This tutorial would be very handy when I built Bugio’s tower back in 2007.

This Siege Tower built by Knight Eklund is a very interesting entry for the CCC IX Siege Weapon. The archers tower are in fact my favorite detail about the whole construction.

Incredible work! Was the first and only thing that came to my mind when I saw the Liberty Inn built by ZCerberus.According to the author, the Inn was inspired in the Liberty store in London.

Abbey of Saint Rumare

October 25, 2011

I stumble with the Abbey of Saint Rumare today while browsing the news MOCs at history bricks flickr group. The MOC built by Aliencat! is pretty old (2009) but I taught it would be nice to revisit this magnificent masterpiece.

Collectible Minifigures Series 6 and 7

October 15, 2011

Toys N bricks had publish the first official pictures from the upcoming series of Collectible Mifigures. Like previous collections, these new series presents new historical figures that will delight many LEGO fans.

The 6th series presents a roman warrior. Personally I’ve been waiting for ages for the LEGO roman empire. This figure and the new rounded bricks of the Atlantis sets will make a beautiful  combination :-)

This collection also presents a barbarian warrior, which is nice for the battles against the roman army, and a cowboy that will fit perfectly in any western MOC.

 

 

The 7th series presents a Viking warrior (girl?), a cool hippie that will fit nicely 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van and, my favorite, the Aztec warrior (or at least, what I think that it is). The mermaid man will also make a cool Neptune roman god of the sea.

Medieval Lighthouse

August 24, 2011

This is a cool medieval lighthouse built by pabloglez. The overall picture is great but what impressed me most was the relief arms in the wall. The water and sand is a nice work too.
