I just love the dark green color scheme and ruggedness of this gunship by Aaron Dayman.

Welcome to Dracula’s castle
Mark Kelso (Amhakia) shares with us his vision of Dracula’s castle inspired by the classic black and white horror films. One of the standout features of this shot has got to be the visible rays of light piercing through the window. The interior is disheveled without being messy.
Lego Collector – Hj. Rahmawaty
Name : Hj. Rahmawaty
Place/Date of Birth : Maninjau/ 09 Mei 1956
Occupation : Head of YP.Shafiyyatul Amaliyyah (National School), Medan
Started her experience with LEGO back in 1987. During her first pregnancy, she watched a television showing kids playing with LEGO and promised herself that her son must play with it.
There was no store selling Lego in Medan in 1987. Only on her husband, Mr. Sofyan Raz, business trip to Japan, she has her first Lego set. It was intended for the just born baby. But her husband bought her a Lego system which was not suitable for baby. Instead of her son, she was the one who played with it.
She was soon attached to it and till today has had more than hundreds sets of LEGO she does not know to count. She has her private LEGO Gallery at her school.
Some of her collection :
And she will be adding more.
Classic Corner Kwik Stop
I really enjoy the look of this model from MOCpages user, Alex Mac. The stonework really gives it that classic convenience store look and the dark red roof just works very well for the creation. All it needs is a huge flashy sign out front!
I’m Blue
Because I love this new ship by Chase Lewis (Vid’). The ship manages to at once be sleek and bulky. It also makes great use of a gigantic tail fin from the airplane sets.
I’d love to say more about this creation, but it’s taken me nearly a week just to find the time to post about it at all.
This one will range far and wide
This modified off-road Range Rover by Cole Blaq is simply phenomenal. It looks ready for anything.
The intentional hunched back look between the engine and passenger compartments is so well done.
48 wheels, remote controlled and with a very big gun
Our occassional technic reviewer Peer Kreuger (mahjqa) doesn’t just know about technic, he’s a dab hand at building it. Drawing inspiration from the Metal Slug computer games and his own omniwheels he’s created the crazy remote controlled Metal Grudge. And to really take it to the next level he’s used camera cars to get action shots like the one above. Much more fun than a computer game.

Hogsmeade Station by Matn
With LEGO Harry Potter sets making a return this year, it’s nice to see people building various Harry Potter creations again.
Matn has posted a gorgeous Hogsmeade Station that would look just as great in a regular Town/Train layout:
Not content to build something only for the camera (as many of us do — who among us hasn’t “cheated” by leaving off parts on the far side?), Matn built a complete platform and pedestrian overpass:
With lovely half-timber construction, texturing on the chimney, and excellent stonework on the first-floor corners, this creation is truly magical.
Atomium – landmark of a bygone era
With our own piece of futuristic architecture left over from the 1962 World’s Fair spiking the Seattle skyline, I’m always interested to learn about other examples of strange buildings that reflects the failed hopes of decades past.
Much cooler than our Space Needle, Atomium was built for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair. The aptly nicknamed Polegon has posted a microscale version of this Belgian landmark (via MicroBricks):
Which reminds me of the larger version posted some time back by Fragty (Klocki):
