We haven’t had many Steampunk builds on here lately. It about time for one. This Landship is a sort of cross-country locomotive and looks like it packs quite the punch. I especially like the side-mounted turrets. I’m sure Beau Donnan intended it, but they remind me of the guns on the British “Mark” series of World War I tanks.

Meet Pokey the Technic Triceratops
Remi can build dinosaurs, no question about it. I saw Pokey at BrickCon last year but these new pictures were just posted online. Pokey is even more awesome in person. Very awesome. You can see the entire set here, including BrickCon pictures.
(My apologies to Alyse if she built Pokey. The tags said “Remi” so I went with that.)
The future of construction?
I can only hope that the construction equipment of the future will resemble these adorable robots by Paul Evans (Paul Evans RG&B). These things are covered in details to love. The face offers us a tiny grin, and fascinating asymmetrical eyes. The exhaust stack built into the back of an arm looks nice, and harkens to present day construction equipment. Meanwhile, the bulldozer blade is just that, a perfect example of a brick-built blade, rather than one of the many prefab options out there.
Let’s also not forget the little pun in the name “Gilgamech.”
Sand Baron sky-fi flying wing by Chrispockst
What I like the most about Chrispockst’s Sand Baron flying wing is that he went out of his way to use all kinds of what he calls “un-useful/unusual parts” that work well together to make this thing look like a chunky behemoth.
I especially love the huge off-angle engines around the low sleek cockpit.
It’s Mine!
One of the rarely-mentioned advantages of mining equipment is that it is so huge you can build it in technic and have it be minifig scale. As Arjan Kotte (Konajira) illustrates in this delightful pair.
The Sack of Troy
Jared Chan has built an incredible scene here. The Trojan Horse, the buildings and the action of the figs are all good, but together they add up to something greater than the sum of the parts. Very nicely done.
Tugging at my heartstrings
I think I may be in love with this re-purposed space tug by Pha][_,][_,. The story of a second-hand utility spaceship being purchased on “ShipTrader,” and converted for personal use is cute and humanizing. Meanwhile, the color scheme is one that I love to build in myself. The use of a car fender piece to cap off the curved canopy is something I’ve never seen before, and it looks great! Add in the many many compound angles that make the shape at once simple and complex, and I’m sold. What’s the URL for ShipTrader again?
Amazing World War II LEGO diorama
A collection of Lugpol members (Pit, Mrutek, Rasch, Ciamek, Glaz_Pimpur, Misiek, Zgredek and Kris Kelvin) have combined forces to produce this stunning diorama of the Eastern Front. The diorama is presently on display at Gdansk Town Hall and if I was near the area I’d certainly be checking it out.
The diorama is full of amazing details, wonderful buildings, decay, flora and excellent military vehicles. Kris has a collection of his shots and a lot of links to further shots in this set. This is my favourite diorama ever and sets the bar very high. I’m even more amazed that with so many cooks the broth is so delicious.
PS. If anyone can provide links to the other builders please post them below.
Overture for a starfighter
I’m not entirely sold on the big black gun but I like everything else about Jared’s (Freedom01) ‘Overture’ starfighter. Fabulous use of angles and insect fins.
