Architectural genius Matija Grguric brings us this elegant train station and other town buildings in grand detail. Down to a shopping center and up to a skyscraper, everything’s there. This is a true inspiration for anyone wanting to build something, so take heed and look through these magnificent creations.

The incredible train station. Well positioned with a very imposing style.

Color variation is just excellent. Dark blue, dark red, light blue, light gray — it’s all there.

Check out the whole town display over at Matija’s Flickr photostream!

Truckin’ in style

This Peterbilt rig by Bricksonwheels is to die for. While the shiney chrome goodness leaps out at you, the build is phenomonal. Remoted controlled via Power Functions and featuring all sort of fun features, this truck truly rocks.

Little John meets Robin Hood

I’m a sucker for landscaping. I like when it adds to the scene, and helps amplify it. Johnathon Gilbert’s creation does just that for me:

It has a sense of action, and makes me wonder what would happen if they lost their balance on that log! The implied movement in the water tells me it might not be pretty…
