Rick Theroux’s minifig scale Tumbler rivals the one by Brent Waller. The giant balloon tires and the windshield decals are two of my favorite details on this creation. It’s always a bonus to know that Batman can sit comfortably at the controls.
Thanks for the tip, eclipseGrafx!
David Pickett (fallentomato) presents his best brickfilms animation showing Lego bricks morphing into different objects. Each change from one object to another consists of many brick-built transition states that are shown for only a fraction of a second, and the results are well worth it. Check out more descriptions and behind-the-scenes info about the video on David’s website.
We don’t normally point out reviews of new Lego sets, but this review of 8128 Cad Bane’s Speeder by Eurobricks member Inconspicuous is very well done with great photos. The set should be available on LEGO Shop at Home this August.
Ray Kwan builds the Hong Kong Coliseum complete with working lights and an illuminated interior. I recommend checking out the gallery for shots of all corners of the building, which features some nice modern city details.
Marcos Bessa’s Ancient Lady’s Museum is an astounding work of art and quality. The front of the museum accurately captures the Greek facade architectural look, where advanced techniques are used to create subtle offsets and detailed ornamentation. The dark blue also adds a tone of establishment to the building.
What amazes me the most is the extravagant interior of the museum, which features the best Lego circular staircase I have ever seen. This is the most difficult type of staircase to build in minifig scale. Not only does Marcos succeed with the form, he also adds ornate railings and a carpet pattern. This is the work of a truly skilled builder.
Bo King Wang (CREATION K.O Creation) thinks outside the 8-bit box and creates a 3D RPG battle depicting a band of heroes taking down an evil sorceress and her monster. The back panels feature two additional scenes that are also worth checking out. See them all in the gallery on Flickr.
Ryan H. (L.D.M.) has achieved an intriguing form in his Læther (a contraction of “luminiferous” and “æther”) spaceship that combines both the beauty of symmetry and the interestingness of asymmetry. At first glance, one sees a unique shape dominated by random protrusions from the fuselage. A second look will reveal the surprising symmetry of the individual components. Genius!
Kyle Slushey’s Studly Aquanaut looks like it’s been freshly revived from a pile of rusty junk at the bottom of the waters. The color combination and use of seaweed plays an important role in conveying the personality of this mecha. Check out more of Kyle’s recent designs in his 7 Days of Mecha Madness project.
The incredible train station. Well positioned with a very imposing style.
Color variation is just excellent. Dark blue, dark red, light blue, light gray — it’s all there.

Matija Grguric made some quality buildings for the City Diorama at Kockice Expo 2010. The brightly colored structures really added a liveliness to the city. I recommend checking out the diorama by clicking on the picture below.
