Metal Gear Solid's Rex & Ray in Lego Blocks

Posted by michael on from the attention-universe:-I-have-too-much-time-on-my-hands dept.

IllogicalStudent writes "Justin "Saber-Scorpion" Stebbins has created lego models based on themes from Metal Gear: Solid, Metal Gear: Solid 2, Star Wars, Halo, Lord of the Rings, Mechwarrior, and others. His work with the Metal Gear: Solid series, especially, have gained him recognition from Hideo Kojima himself."

    Is this thread conclusive proof that /.ers are nerds that couldn't get laid if we tried?

    It wasn't slashdotted when I first looked at it, and I'm not a subscriber. So i can only assume a greater degree of the slashdot populace is out getting laid right now than previously expected.

    It would be pretty cool if this guy did a LEGO reenactment of that scene where the game over screen comes up while you're in the middle of fighting. Wait a minute...VR military missions...they were training us! You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!

    The *cough* life-like *cough* version of HanSolo in carbonite is just a big slap of Lego, with credit to the face-part of it.
    Further than that, it is as much non-slashdot worthy as this one.

    In all honesty, just because a guy can throw together some crappy models and paint a minifig doesn't make him a genius. Brickshelf had some image of a MUCH better looking REX. This is really amateur work. Heck, look at the supposed Warthog. I've seen better MOCs from shaking up a box.
