I was looking for something entirely different and saw this:

Like Paul’s cars, this just blows my mind.
Frozen water:

Think this guy from Croatia will come to a Steel City LUG meeting?
Yeah, that tiger and the Fallingwater model are both pretty incredible.
Here’s another link with more pics of Fallingwater: http://www.designboom.com/architecture/frank-lloyd-wright-lego-falling-water/
I mean, it’s got nothing on the official LEGO Architecture Fallingwater (http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Fallingwater-21005), but not half bad… (that’s a joke. It’s definitely cooler.)
This is in my opinion one of the most amazing Lego models ever… The builder has other ones too, but this is the most impressive…

Those crumbling houses are incredible. The scale of some of them have to be immense … and I think the builder takes them apart. The details are amazing, ex. the ripped curtains inside the windows … wow.
Those decaying houses are so insane. I can’t imagine how he designs them. He’s working on a crazy castle – http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/62542
This has been my favorite build ever since I saw it. It’s simple, but so amazing (to me)
That pop-up pagoda is really neat and the video is really well done. Its like watching a magic trick … you see the whole thing and still can’t tell how they do it. 🙂
rather than a new thread, I’ll just keep adding to this one when I find something noteworthy.
how about a minifig scale hogwarts? http://www.flickr.com/photos/88574960@N02/sets/72157632858317817/with/8508642261/
~400,000 pieces.
That Hogwarts is insane. Curious how hard it was to track down all the gray and black minifig components for Wizard Chess…

The person who built this is now the “Chief Communications Office” at bricklink.
It seems like this is the person to ask how to build a cone out of bricks! On close inspection, it looks like her sand green conical spires were made with dark gray bricks covered by 1×1 sand green cones. That helps reduce the blocky appearance. I suppose this strategy could be credited to Egyptian pyramid builders.
I’m not sure if this qualifies at “amazing” but most of these are pretty clever (a few are just bizarre): http://www.buzzfeed.com/aaronc13/all-50-states-recreated-by-legos

These were fun to look through, but I did not understand Ohio or Iowa. 😛

That’s some good stuff.
Its interesting how well something will sell if you make it black and put flames all over it.
wow. Maybe we need a “ridiculous ripoff” thread. Seriously.
The detail packed into this 48×48 footprint is really neat. Compacting details is what I personally want to work more on this year, especially for any displays. We did a real nice job with the Trolley Museum Display in minimizing dead space, but there is room for improvement (example – around my Santa building, I should have had more details to cover more of the table space).Compacting details is what I personally want to work more on this year, especially for any displays.

We have hit a lot of different targets in this first year including the Great Wall, DIG into reading, and the train show displays. There seems to be a trade-off between doing different displays and being able to improve on the ones we already have. As a LUG, we should consider how to balance taking on new challenges with building upon MOC’s we already have … quality vs. quantity.
Well said, Greg. The initial display phase (as typified by our Kidsfest display ) is always to get quantity – i.e. get stuff on the table. The next phase is to refine the quantity into higher and higher quality while continuing to integrate more quantity (new stuff).

Amen and amen. This is exactly what I think we need to hash out at Q1 meeting. We proved in 2013 that we can be pretty awesome at one-off builds and filling tables for public displays; let’s make a goal in 2014 to improve upon some existing stuff to make it awesomer. (Not that we can’t still do a few one-off builds!)
That would be awesome to see. Wow. I think my favorite detail is the “creation of life” at 3:56. Might be a bit risque for a Lego layout. 😀
One of you probably has the talent and the interest to make one of these:

“Also, it is not build by lego brick. I can build by lego brick but more expensive.”
Please tell me nobody actually pays that much for a KNOCKOFF… brick alone (if real LEGO) is worth *maybe* $100 – all black and white, after all. Builder’s time, no way it’s worth $1500 for a build that fits on a 48. Especially since he clearly has already built them at least once, so it’s just repeating the same build.
