Digger of Bricks Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) I have not seen a topic on this, so if there is, please do move or merge with an established topic. Which AFOL community builders' work do you like or inspire you for your own projects/creations? For me, there are many, but my two top favorites are JonHall18 and Vince Toulouse on Flickr. I think they both are the best builders in the Dieselpunk and Sky-fi genres (both favorites of mine), and Vincent's artistry with Lego parts make unique and fantastic art deco-esq vehicular craft. https://www.flickr.com/photos/vince_toulouse/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/25163007@N07 Edited June 27, 2017 by Digger of Bricks Quote
mocbuild101 Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 For me it is @Madoca 1977, @Sariel, @nico71, and sometimes @Sheepo. You can probably guess that I like technic . Quote
Trekkie99 Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Masao Hidaka on YouTube. His monorails are awesome! https://m.youtube.com/#/user/MasaoHidaka Quote
Actor Builder Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) I think JKbrickworks' Jason Allemann is a genius, but his work doesn't inspire me so much as fascinate me. I have a completely different style and could never make such amazingly functional stuff as his. Edited June 1, 2017 by Actor Builder Quote
BrickJagger Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Daniel Siskind and his fantastic Castle MOCs, including 3739 Blacksmith Shop and this. I actually met him last year, he's a great guy. Quote

(mainly because of his great instructions) but I didn't mention him because he doesn't make many technic models . Quote
Mesabi Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 There are a couple for me. @Bob De Quatre who builds these awesome space builds, he's been on the front page a couple times and is an awesome mod as well. @Ayrlego For his pirate ships along with @Bregir and a couple other guys from BoBS who I can't remember off the top of my head @Dannylonglegs who along with being a fantastic builder is also a fabulous writer and wrote some of the best stories in AG @Henjin_Quilones Mostly does heroica stuff, but I've also seen him in AG. He hit the front page a few weeks back. These are the people I admire the most on Eurobricks. Check them out! Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 I don't really build much in microscale, preferring minifigure scale mostly; but I've been looking at this guy's work on Flickr, and now I'm reconsidering the possibilities. Fredoichi on Flickr does some amazing microscale creations in the Sky-fi, Mecha, and Starfighter genres that require a double take to see that they are actually microscale! https://www.flickr.com/photos/fredoichi/albums Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Mine are @Madoca 1977, @Sariel, @nico71, and @Sheepo, same as @mocbuild101. Also @DugaldIC and @Lox Lego Edited June 21, 2017 by TechnicRCRacer Quote

Digger of Bricks Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 An amazing builder here on Eurobricks who's work here wows me ever time is @TheBrickBuilder14. He does some of the most compact but detailed minifigure scale renditions of Batmobiles I have ever seen. Here are a few examples of his most recent work pictured below. Quote

Capparezza Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Hmm... guess I have to add @efferman, @Didumos69 and @Lasse D as well. And lot's of others too! Way too many wonderful MOCs around here, so feel free to add in any other name in the blank space here ---> " " Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted July 9, 2017 Author Posted July 9, 2017 When surfing the web for creations, a particular niche space genre I search creations for is the GARC genre, made up of many different, colorful space racecraft. But so far, the three best MOC examples I've seen done are by Flickr user Sylon-tw, which I have shown and linked below. Spoiler https://www.flickr.com/photos/sylon_tw/albums/72157644393526398 I also consider him a great Sky-fi builder whose work with the genre ranks up there with other previously mentioned Flickr users Jonhall18 and Fredoichi. Here is some of his creations shown and linked below. Spoiler https://www.flickr.com/photos/sylon_tw/albums/72157632896134497 Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 One of the most impressive CAD designers of Lego creations I've seen is Flickr user dunkleosteus_ldd, who creates some great Dieselpunk/Retrofuturistic designs, especially in the form of hovercars. Here I have pictured below a few of his wild looking trikes and streamlined locomotives. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dunkleosteus_ldd/albums/72157661963290481 Spoiler Also, last but not least, here are some of his incredible hovercars pictured and linked below! https://www.flickr.com/photos/dunkleosteus_ldd/albums/72157652694595161 Spoiler I should also give special mention to @Sunder, whose rendering work is also most excellent; and I particularly really dig his collection of Retrofuturistic locomotives, which I hope to see more of!

Sven F Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 From the top of my head, I think Paul Hetherington aka Brickbaron is definitely inspiring, and just about hits the nerve with his style, colors, ideas and originality https://www.flickr.com/photos/14964802@N07/ I like builders who are all over the place, who get out of their comfort zones and do something new every time instead of sticking to one thing over and over.

soccerkid6 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Great idea for a topic, I've already found a few top-notch builders whose work I hadn't seen before I'll start with just 3 of the builders who inspire me most.@Legopard Jonas Kramm's builds are always magnificent: @Rolli Markus Rollbuhler also builds incredibly beautiful models: @Xenomurphy Thorsten Bonsch is another builder who does absolutely mind blowing stuff: Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted July 31, 2017 Author Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Woah @AnalogPanda, that is a boatload! Many of those builders I'm not even familiar with, I'll definitely check some of those out when I have some time. Also, thanks @soccerkid6 for sharing that, I actually didn't know some of those guys were here on Eurobricks; especially @Xenomurphy, his 1920's style Arkham Asylum and Daily Planet are just amazing! 13 hours ago, Sven F said: From the top of my head, I think Paul Hetherington aka Brickbaron is definitely inspiring, and just about hits the nerve with his style, colors, ideas and originality https://www.flickr.com/photos/14964802@N07/ I like builders who are all over the place, who get out of their comfort zones and do something new every time instead of sticking to one thing over and over.
