Cameras gear is not fun to carry around. Any enthusiast with a lens fetish—or any professional with places to be and a shit-ton to carry—already knows that taking the weight off the shoulders is worth more than steady work shooting supermodels. More »
Back when I was growing up in the 1970s, we fully expected that, by 2012, we’d all be driving flying cars to our condos on the moon where robotic butlers awaited, ready to bring us the cure for cancer from the bathroom first-aid kit.

So you are aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise on a five year mission and you beam down to a planet to do some geological studies, when suddenly Trelaine aka The Squire of Gothos, turns everything on the planet into LEGO creations. What do you do? Your normal phasers and instruments are useless. Well, if you had this LEGO gear, you would be just fine.
These LEGO creations are amazing. This medical tricorder, Type 2 hand phaser and communicator are all by LEGO artist Tommy Williamson. He excels at creating realistic classic Star Trek gadgets out of LEGO bricks.
Just look at the amazing detail that he puts into every piece. Any LEGO landing party would be well prepared for the mission ahead. Even if the had a red shirt on. I wish I had this kind of LEGO talent. Check out more of Tommy’s pics in his Flickr stream.
