Mercedes McLaren SLR Stirling Moss by Lino

Lino Martins found himself among the people in the world who didn’t have a spare €750,000 lying around to buy one of the 75 McLaren SLR Stirling Moss cars that Mercedes-Benz built, so he built his own from LEGO.

Everybody’s surfin’ now

This simple composition featuring some not-so-simple creations by Jack Marquez (Ewok in Disguise) captures the feel of a Beach Boys song: Corvette convertible, custom Harley-Davidson and a surfboard.

Check out all the pedals and valves on that Harley and the red rubber bands for racing stripes.

Human-powered transport

As much as I like to see more Asian elements within the available palette of LEGO elements, and as addicted as I am to the collectible minifigs, I can’t say I’m thrilled with the hair piece used for both (both?!) the sumo wrestler and geisha. Nevertheless, I can’t help but love anything that springs from the brilliantly bricking fingers of Michael Jasper.

Via twee affect, which has a nice discussion of the various interesting techniques that Michael inevitably applies to his LEGO creations.

Spitfire Mk IX

This plane is just gorgeous. Ed Diment (Lego Monster) states that it’s a 1 in 20th scale, and he plans to add more. I can’t wait.

Drove my Chevy to the levy

LUGNUTS is currently running an interesting monthly challenge and Peter Blackert (lego911) has more than risen to it. His ’55 Chevreolet Cameo appears to have all the little details just in the right spot. I’m sure Don McLean would appreciate it.

A delicious slice of orange

The LEGO Speeder Bikes contest over on Flickr is picking up steam, with more than 70 entries so far. There are dozens of notable entries, but one that jumped off the page for me is this orange and dark gray bad boy by Peter Taylor (darkblne).

Countdown to Christmas in Santa’s Workshop

Brad Bergman made a full size window display of an advent calendar. Each of the 24 room contains a vignette and represents a day of December leading up to Christmas. Although you can already see the rooms revealed, Brad is posting detail shots of each vignette daily along with a description. You can follow the postings on his Flickr photostream.

Thanks for the tip Dylan!

White Building

No one’s ever seen a NightFury…

…until now. I loved Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon and this rendition by Mike Nieves is spot on. I especially like the menacing look of the eyes, but there’s a lot of dragon to love in this.

A Nutherwun

It’s no secret that Rodney Bistline’s (Buster®) “swoosher”s are some of my favourite spaceships. So loving the Nutherwun Strike Craft was a natural fit.
