Por una vez he decidido plasmar en el titulo del post todo el significado de esta creación. César Soares nos presenta la habitación de un mago. Y da lo mismo el tiempo que pases mirando las fotos, siempre hay algo nuevo que descubrir, un nuevo detalle que admirar, un nuevo uso para una pieza,..., una maravilla.
For once I decided to capture in the title of the post all the meaning of this creation. César Soares presents us the room of a wizard. And it doesn't matter how much time you spend looking at the photos, there is always something new to discover, a new detail to admire, a new use for a part, ..., wonderful.

Ahora que viene el verano, no hay nada como un buen helado. Aunque en España las furgonetas de helados nunca han tenido la magia de aquellos vehículos americanos de los años 60, siempre han significado buenas noticias para los niños. Esta furgoneta de Sven Franic es excepcional tanto por su diseño como por sus detalles, con el mérito añadido de estar construida en un color tan poco común. Seguro que ha sido un desafío cuadrar el diseño con las piezas disponibles en ese tono tan particular.
Now that summer is coming, there's nothing like a good ice cream. Although in Spain ice cream vans have never had the magic of those American vehicles of the 60s, they have always meant good news for children. This Sven Franic van is exceptional both for its design and for its details, with the added merit of being built in such an unusual color. Surely it has been a challenge to match the design with the parts available in that particular tone.

Alíens APC
He de confesar que para mí solo existen las dos primeras películas de Alien. A partir de ahí no es que sean malas, pero para mí perdieron la magia. La primera, aún hoy, me parece una sobrecogedora película de terror y una increíble película de ciencia a ficción. La segunda sigue siendo una de las mejores películas de ciencia ficción y acción de todos los tiempos. Missing Brick es ampliamente conocido por sus MOCS sobre Aliens, desde vehículos y personajes hasta escenas míticas de la película. Aquí os dejo su fantástica versión del mítico APC. Sin palabras.
I must confess that for me there are only two Alien films. After the second film I’m not saying that they are bad, but for me they lost the magic. The first, even today, seems to me an overwhelming horror film and an incredible science fiction movie. The second is still one of the best action/science fiction movies of all time. Missing Brick is widely known for its MOCS on Aliens, from vehicles and characters to mythical scenes in the film. Here is his fantastic version of the mythical APC. Speechless.

Up house
Pixar y LEGO tienen una relación especial. No solo porque gracias a los acuerdos comerciales entre ellas hemos podido disfrutar de sets oficiales de algunas de sus películas, sino también porque ha sido fuente de inspiración de incontables MOCS por parte de la comunidad. Que sus películas resulten igual de atractivas para niños y adultos ha favorecido su éxito entre los AFOLS. Una de las películas emblemáticas de la compañía es Up. Para mi su primera parte, tal vez la menos atractiva para los niños, debería formar parte de la historia del cine. Aunque también diría lo mismo de los primeros minutos de Wall-E, igual el problema lo tengo yo.
Jonas Kramm ha realizado un precioso modelo de la casa del protagonista, justo en el momento en que inicia su fantástica aventura. Aun en su pequeña escala, es reconocible instantáneamente, gracias a sus fantásticos detalles. No dejes de apoyar su proyecto en LEGO Ideas, yo ya lo he hecho.

Gothic Church
Uno de los temas que The LEGO Group siempre ha considerado tabú en sus diseños es el de la religión. Así que si quieres ver cualquier tipo de templo construido con ladrillos LEGO, debes buscar entre las construcciones de los AFOLS. Afortunadamente a nosotros estos problemas de ética empresarial nos dan un poco lo mismo y construimos todo aquello que nos apetece y representa un reto. El resultado es que puedes encontrar maravillosas construcciones de templos en internet, como por ejemplo esta Iglesia Gótica por David Hensel. Un edificio fantástico, lleno de detalles (esa puerta es bellísima), y con un trabajo en la fachada increíble. Estoy seguro que si la tocas con los ojos cerrados parecerá que estás acariciando una fachada de piedra.

The result is that you can find wonderful constructions of temples on the Internet, such as this Gothic Church by David Hensel. A fantastic building, full of details (that door is beautiful), and with an incredible facade work. I'm sure if you touch it with your eyes closed it will look like you're stroking a stone facade.

Spider-Man vs. Doctor Octopus
El personaje de Spider-Man ha pasado por varias versiones cinematográficas, con distintos actores y distintos enfoques. Por supuesto en el mundo de las construcciones con LEGO ha pasado más o menos lo mismo. Tras cada película hemos podido admirar recreaciones de escenas de las diferentes películas. Sin embargo Thorsten Bonsch va más allá. Ya lo hizo, si recordáis, con sus diseños de la Batcueva, y ahora está de vuelta con esta escena del enfrentamiento entre Spider-Man y el Doctor Octopus en el lobby del Daily Bugle. La escena está llena de detalles y de movimiento, pero además el edificio es una obra de arte. Simplemente admirar el mosaico del suelo, no puedo ni imaginar cuanto trabajo hay invertido en esa maravilla.
The character of Spider-Man has gone through several film versions, with different actors and different approaches. Of course, in the LEGO world, the same has happened more or less. After each film we have been able to admire recreations of scenes from the different movies. However Thorsten Bonsch goes further. He already did, if you remember, with his designs of the Batcave, and now he is back with this scene of the confrontation between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus in the lobby of the Daily Bugle. The scene is full of details and movement, but also the building is a work of art. Just admire the mosaic of the floor, I can not even imagine how much work has been invested in that wonder.

Broken Home
Que los ladrillos LEGO sean tan lisos y brillantes puede que resulte una ventaja siempre que lo que intentes construir no sea la escena de un desastre natural. Si quieres que algo parezca viejo, dañado o casi destruido, tienes que elegir con cuidado la paleta de colores y aplicar técnicas no convencionales para dar la imagen totalmente opuesta a la que suele dar LEGO. Por eso este diorama de Ralf Langer, de una ciudad que ha sufrido un terremoto es tan fantástico. Las calzadas, las fachadas de los edificios, todo te transporta a ese desastre. Un gran trabajo y, además, seguro que complicado también.
That the LEGO bricks are so smooth and bright may be an advantage as long as what you try to build is not the scene of a natural disaster. If you want something to look old, damaged or almost destroyed, you have to carefully choose the color palette and apply non-conventional techniques to give the image completely opposite to what LEGO usually gives. That is why this diorama by Ralf Langer, from a city that has suffered an earthquake is so fantastic. The roads, the facades of the buildings, everything transports you to that disaster. A great job and, besides, I’m sure that complicated too.

River Crossing
Tras terminar un MOC uno siempre piensa en la mejor forma de fotografiarlo o presentarlo. A veces tu nueva creación merece un diorama que le acompañe. A mí, normalmente, me puede la impaciencia y me conformo con unas pocas fotos. Si le dedicas tiempo y ganas puede pasar lo que le ha pasado a Tim Schwalfenberg, que para un tren fantástico ha construido un puente igual de maravilloso. He ampliado la foto todo lo que mi tableta permite para poder apreciar lo intrincado del diseño. Increíble.
After finishing a MOC you always think of the best way to photograph or present it. Sometimes your new creation deserves a diorama to accompany it. In my case, normally, I am very impatient and I'll settle for a few photos. If you dedicate time and energy it can happen to you what has happened to Tim Schwalfenberg, who has built a bridge just as wonderful as the train that he was introducing. I have enlarged the photo all that my tablet allows to appreciate the intricate design. Amazing.

Empire State Building
Hace unos años tuve la suerte de poder visitar la BrickWorld de Chicago. Uno de los recuerdos más claros que conservo es un gigantesco diorama lleno de increíbles rascacielos. Cuando he visto el fantástico Empire State Building de q_159 todos esos recuerdos han vuelto de forma inesperada. Sus 1700 piezas y 110 cm de altura explican los tres meses de trabajo que ha tenido que invertir en el proyecto. Sin duda han merecido la pena.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to visit BrickWorld in Chicago. One of the clearest memories I have is a gigantic diorama full of incredible skyscrapers. When I saw the fantastic q_159’s Empire State Building, all those memories have returned unexpectedly. His 1700 pieces and 110 cm high explain the three months of work he has had to invest in the project. No doubt investing all that time has been worth it.

Victorian City
Los dioramas son, probablemente el mayor atractivo para los visitantes de cualquier exposición de creaciones con ladrillos LEGO. Ademas son el mayor exponente de lo que significa ser parte de una comunidad. Este diorama colaborativo de SwissLUG, que podemos admirar en la galería de Dornbi, es un ejemplo de las maravillas que se pueden conseguir colaborando con otros fans como nosotros. Es difícil destacar una parte del diorama porque la calidad es tan alta que al final es solo cuestión de gusto personal. Yo me quedo con la iglesia, ¿vosotros?
The dioramas are probably the biggest attraction for visitors of any exhibition of creations with LEGO bricks. They are also the greatest exponent of what it means to be part of a community. This SwissLUG collaborative diorama, which we can admire in Dornbi’s gallery, is an example of the wonders that can be achieved by collaborating with other fans like us. It is difficult to highlight a part of the diorama because the quality is so high that in the end it is just a matter of personal taste. I love the church, and you?

HLC Space Center Crawler
Creo que es la primera vez que escribo un post sobre una creación a escala “Friends”. Esta línea ha tenido gran éxito, no solo entre las niñas, que parecía ser su cliente objetivo, sino también entre los AFOLS debido a las nuevas piezas en nuevos colores que ha puesto a nuestra disposición. La figura de Friends es un poco más grande que la minifig clásica y sus puntos de conexión diferentes, por lo que construir en su escala puede necesitar un poco de experiencia. Tyler Sky, un referente en las construcciones “Friends”, nos muestra que no hay temática que quede fuera del alcance de esta nueva línea. Su increible Centro Espacial está lleno de fantásticos detalles. La nave espacial tiene un diseño limpio y original que nos recuerda a una lanzadera futurista. Y todo ello con esos toques de color “Friends” perfectamente integrados. Una maravilla.
I think this is the first time I've written a post about a "Friends" scale creation. This theme has been very successful, not only among the girls, who seemed to be its target customers, but also among the AFOLS because of the new parts in new colors that they have put at our disposal. The figure of Friends is a bit bigger than the classic minifig and has different connection points, so building on its scale may need a bit of experience. Tyler Sky, a reference in Friends constructions, shows us that there is no theme that is beyond the scope of this new line. Its incredible Space Center is full of fantastic details. The spacecraft has a clean and original design that reminds us of a futuristic shuttle. And all with those touches of "Friends" colors perfectly integrated. A whole new world!

Scavenging The Destroyer
Hoy es el día de Star Wars, el famoso May the Forth, e internet está lleno de homenajes a este mito cultural. La comunidad LEGO no podía ser menos, así que toda la red está llena de creaciones relacionadas con la franquicia. Entre ellas, esta creación de Grant Davis (en colaboración con Eli Willsea) ha llamado mi atención. Las proporciones de la construcción, el cuidado en el detalle y la fantástica iluminación hacen de esta escena algo increíble.

New Century City Block
Una de las líneas con más éxito entre los AFOLS es, sin duda, la de los edificios modulares. Siempre es portada de los principales blogs cuando cada año se lanza un nuevo edificio. Por supuesto, constructores de todo el mundo se han lanzado a construir edificios siguiendo el mismo esquema. Eero Okkonen ha creado una serie de edificios modulares de principios del siglo XX. Sus diseños son especialmente originales y nos llama poderosamente la atención la presencia de un edificio con la fachada con studs a la vista. Un concepto diferente pero que funciona en esta increíble composición.
One of the most successful themes among the AFOLS is, undoubtedly, modular buildings. It is always the front page of the main blogs when a new building is launched every year. Of course, builders all over the world have set out to build different buildings following the same scheme. Eero Okkonen has created a series of modular buildings from the early 1900s. His designs are especially original and we are struck by the presence of a building with the facade with studs out. A different concept but that works in this incredible composition.
