I’ve been enjoying Kaptain Kobold‘s fun little LEGO creations for just about as long as I’ve been blogging, and I’m especially enjoying his latest set of microscale arms and armor from World War II.
Alan’s Renault FT-17 tank and Heinkel He 162 “Volksjäger” fighter jet illustrate that you don’t have to put a lot of parts together to make really great, recognizable models.
My favorite is this Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter, complete with spinning prop and tiny guns.
Not only does Ralph Savelsberg (Mad physicist) make nice looking LEGO models (in this case a tiller truck) he likes to go that extra km and add features. In this case a bunch of opening doors and working ladder. For the big kid in every AFOL.
Recently Soren Roberts ([Soren]) made a comment on the Goliath alluding to having something similar in the works. Well it’s not quite a docking cradle but it is a combat repair ship so serves a similar role. I’m a sucker for arms on ships but I’ll quote Kyle Vrieze to describe what I really like: ‘You somehow space the components and segments by precisely the right gap to make best use of the negative space’. Indeed.
Continuing our theme of German automobiles, Vimal Patel (vmln8r) takes us back to the 19th century with his Benz Patent-Motorwagen from 1886 — an entry for both the April LEGO Technic Challenge and the LUGNuts Autos aus Deutschland challenge.
Vimal’s car is remote-controlled, with working gears, chains, pistons, flywheels and differentials.
This Porsche 935 by Malte Dorowski has great curved striping I haven’t seen attempted before with such precision.
The Porsche 935/78 had a long tail to reduce drag, and was painted white, earning it the nickname “Moby Dick.” Malte’s version includes a detailed interior and looks great alongside his 911:
Thanks to Henrik Hoexbroe for the tip!
And Dave Shaddix continues the Year of the Squid with The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence. The cold and clinical lighting really add to the charm.
This one goes out to the town builder readers. Larry Lars is still going on his illustrated guides to windows and I’m still watching. If you build town there will be a window for you.
Eric Druon (baronsat) brings us an exceedingly cute Mos Eisley LEGO diorama. It’s not realistic and it’s not meant to be. It’s cute. And playable. Eric has been drip feeding this for a while and I’m super happy to see it all together.

Littlehaulic once again shows her creativity for interior design with Lego in this kitchen and dining room creation. There are many details that’ll reward those who take a closer look. Can you find the blender, power outlets, and the hidden foodling in the pictures?
