Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) did a stunning job of rendering the Ectomobile from Ghostbusters in Lego. This beauty was completed in only two days and features some shiny chrome elements. He says it’s a keeper, and who couldn’t agree more?

Lockheed Constellation “Connie”
Nick Dean finished his model of the Lockheed Constellation, a propeller-driven aircraft used in the 40’s and 50’s as a civilian airliner and military transport plane. In addition to capturing the unique shape of the aircraft, Nick has also included a 1950’s refueling truck that’s a beauty of its own. You can see all pictures in this Flickr gallery.

A pirate’s life for me
Igor Krainovic and Karlo Toth built a pirates diorama for the Kockice Expo. Not shown in the pic are more ships and islands, which you can see in the full gallery on MOCpages.
We’ll leave our tracks untraceable
It’s not unusual to see a Bram sphere atop a steampunk hot air balloon, but I love the stripes on this one by Thomas Oechsner. The boiler is also lovely, with a photo backdrop that adds a great deal to the presentation.
Despicable Me minion by Alex Eylar
Alex Eylar (Profound Whatever) has been on a building tear lately, posting more LEGO creations than we can keep up with. One of my favorites so far is also one of the simplest — a minion from the upcoming movie Despicable Me.
As much as I love the minions — and Alex’s LEGO rendition of one — I’m less interested in seeing the movie, especially after seeing the full trailer before Toy Story 3. Bungling supervillains fighting each other? Yes. Three adorable girls who bring the goodness out in a supervillain, who actually has a heart of gold? No.

Blue Bard’s Weird Social Club
A great little building with two floors for the strange and funny. Visit the second floor for some music or hang out with the old lady and her cat on the first. Do this all while watching an RC plane on the roof and some gun sight adjustment for a dummy. Every city needs that “weird part of town”, and Blue Bard addressed that issue first hand.
Obscure but beloved Futurama quote to establish blogger’s geek cred
Like NBC executives, Fox executives are morons. Everyone knows that. Thankfully, Comedy Central knows what it’s doing, which means we all get to enjoy Futurama again.
Everyone also knows that no pop culture phenomenon would be complete without CubeDudes. Thankfully, Andrew Lee is there to fill the gap.
Sweet zombie Jesus indeed, The Living Brick.
The Anglo-Saxon pit-house was a big step backward from the Roman villa
I just finished reading Peter Heather’s excellent The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians.
So, does this diorama by Harry Russell (Karrde) featuring an Anglo-Saxon pit-house fall under ApocaLEGO?
Nah. But I’ll use any excuse to blog an archaeologically inclined LEGO model.
