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.

Castle of the underworld
Ivan Angeli from Serbia presents a bloodcurdling red castle in an underground city from the Dungeons and Dragons universe. The extreme proportions of the architecture is fitting of the fantasy genre. Check out the gallery on Brickshelf for more photos including construction and detail shots.
Toys R Us
And here we go again! Brian Lyles churns out another amazing outlet store, this time a Toys R Us. It has a fully detailed interior, a delivery truck, and one awesome giraffe. The facade on the building uses an interesting technique of a wall of windows that ends short of the cornice. The design is well thought out, and looks like it should be right there on the corner of a big city. Great job on this one, Mr. Lyles!

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).
7 Disney princesses
Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) has created the full complement of Disney princesses with this series of seven figs.
Matt calls this scale “bricklings,” but to me they’re like micro Miniland people. Either way, they’re adorable.
Another something cute
Don’t ask me why I keep finding sci-fi creations that can pass for cute lately. Perhaps the holiday season is making my heart soft. Regardless, here’s an interesting, and cute, take on a Fuchikoma, by Dane Erland.

Can you say ornate? This build by Flickr user LegoManiac – LEGO 13 is a terrific model of a immensely detailed home. It was built for the 2010 Brick Architect Contest over at Flickr. I recommend checking the submissions out, it has some terrific entries which should pave the way for some tough judging!

Your mistletoe is no match for my T.O.W. missile!
Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, Robot Santa from Futurama will wreak havoc in your house. This LEGO version by Mark Anderson of Andertoons is sure to put the fear of Xmas in every child’s heart.
Santa’s not-so-little helpers
Carl Merriam built several large-scale pieces from LEGO for his local department store’s Christmas window. If you look closely, you can see just how big these elves are by comparing them to the R2-D2 that the blue elf is working on.
If you’re in the Fresno, California area, you can see these in person at the River Park Macy’s
