We’ve featured two Lego Halo grunts in the past, but this one by Nathaniel Shields is perhaps the most accurate. The builder makes great use of Bionicle parts as well as a few System bricks for intricate small details.

Arches and Angles for Angels

Well……he said it was his first church. I don’t believe him. This thing is incredible. It has church written all over it! Great job on this one! Check out LegoLord’s other models too!
St. Phillip’s Chapel
There’s a certain grace in simplicity, and I do believe this build captured some of that essence. LegoLord posted this lovely little chapel, complete with columns, arches, and recessed windows. I like the little details that pop up to make the building visually interesting.
Welcome to the Ararat Hotel!

I think I have an obsession with hotels. Coming from a small town, we lack that elegance and style of an old fashioned hotel looming over the downtown, and that’s exactly what this model brings to mind. Great job all around on this one!
A Museum is in the Works
Two great creations from shutinc’s flickr photostream – click the titles for full photosets. His first is the Luxury shop and apartment.

[WIP] Museum of wax: The majestic look to this thing is just perfect for that museum look.

That last one is supposedly still a work in progress, but it already looks fantastic. There’s already an excellent interior:

A Day at the Fort
 |
Flickr user 2 Much Caffeine has created a compact little fortress for the Jolly Roger Competition over at ForbiddenCove. It’s simple, and that’s why it’s so successful. The white really contrasts nicely with the dark rock and brings out the structure as a whole. The courtyard in the middle is just like the real thing—the well, cannons, and door leading to the inside. I’m hoping this is part of something bigger…..

Town of Ararat in 1972
 |
Tim Gould and Mike Pianta have created a terrific rendition of the Australian town of Ararat back how it was in 1972. Complete with angled city streets, train tracks, and very well-detailed terrain features such as the sand dirt and brick built trees, it’s easy to get lost in its detail. Check out more pictures on Brickshelf!

“Calamity Jane” Privateer Gunship
Mike Yoder recently completed this beautiful gunship called the Calamity Jane. The name is not a new one, as Mike has built the first version of the ship in 2008. The new version is significantly larger and has more prominent color blocking including a black thruster section, yellow container modules, and an intriguing dark red stripe.
The Great Emancipator
With my latest creation in the Iron Mountain Legion theme, I wanted to add some levity. It’s a post apocalyptic military force, but I imagine their grip on historical record might be a bit lacking.
I imagine them recovering a prewar robot, and deciding to turn it into an inspirational tool, as well as a weapon. I also just thought that the idea of a robot Lincoln was hilarious, and once I thought of it, I had to build it. The name, of course, adds to the joke, Linear Neuralnet Cyborg 1 (LNC-1).
If this is Wrong…
Then I don’t want to be right. I’d much rather be building mecha like this one by Rong Yiren. I just finished a mecha of my own, and it doesn’t appeal to me nearly as much as this does. The killer detail? The removable helmet!
