Stompy and Clompy

Sam W. (-infomaniac-) presents an innovative design for a mecha that uses asymmetry to great effect. At the same time, the Power Miners wheels and the coordinated sand green color blocking unifies the distinct elements of this creation. The large cannon is a very necessary feature.

The Cafe is Now an Embassy

There’s been a lot of Cafe Corner mods over the years, many of them seem redundant and lack any unique concept whatsoever. Flickr user, Atom For Peace, however, is an exception. Take a gander at the new Legoland Embassy. As well as being a terrific idea all in itself, the MOC is just fun to look at. The “under construction” look came across very well, and the white stands out perfectly for a government embassy. Keep up the great builds, Atom!

The horrifically magnificent Fort Flogwelt

Peter Woodley’s (lil grizzle) talent has slipped under our radars for over a year, but I’m glad to have stumbled across his latest Fort Flogwelt creation. This whimsically eerie fortress is crawling with creatively crafted horrors. The skull with the centipede in its mouth, the eyeball, and the hanging cage are just a few of my favorite details. You can see more pictures of the creation and a backstory on MOCpages.

COLORS!

Looking at this space ship is like getting punched in the face! This Vic Viper by Kyle Slushey combines two bright colors to great effect. The green and blue contrast nicely, making the image pop in big way. He’s also included just enough patches of gray for the eye to rest on.

Reality is relative

Alex Eylar (Profound Whatever) is building at a pace that we can’t keep up with (and I did not intentionally repeat Andrew). His latest is a depiction of the Escher masterpiece in the Classic Space theme. Since there’s no gravity in space, there’s some paradoxical realism to this work. It’s all too wonderful.
