Lego Crawler Town |
Crawler Town is a new Lego concept model from Dave DeGobbi. It's a Mad Max vision of a post-apocalyptic future in which the Earth's resources are concentrated in a few towns built on crawlers. The crawlers become holiday destinations and the only place to get a pizza. The DeBoggi Flickr stream is well worth taking a look at - it has lots of excellent models. A Blocumentary on Lego modellers is embedded below from Vimeo. |

Really Real Time Clock |
Standard Time is a 24 hour film of 70 workers building a digital clock. Shot in real-time it it shows the workers trying hard to construct every single minute - constantly on the verge of failing.
