Frederic (Shamisenfred) has a fairly unusual take on LEGO spaceships for his Andromedan Empire series. His latest ‘Chimere’ prototype fits the series perfectly with the mixture of heavy curves and nautical shapes.

The shining lights of Micropolis Airport
With this lovely airport, Rakanishu1024 has built one of the most substantial LEGO models I’ve seen that uses the Micropolis standard, complete with landing lights on the runway.
Via MicroBricks.

As a bonus, check out the multi-colored turrets by Ryan (L D M) inspired by this trailer.
55cm LEGO Ironman
I know nought about Iron Man but Alex Schranz (“Orion Pax”) was obviously a fan of the comic and has dedicated 55cm worth of ABS to recreating this armoured superhero. His dedication to recreating the ‘muscles’ on the figure really lend it a drawn air. And as an added bonus the light in the chest actually works. Superb building.
The keen-eyed will notice a slight difference between the most recent four shots and the rest.
Microscale space rover
This microscale helium transport rover by Robert H. (Robiwan_Kenobi) has so many neat details to point out. For starters, there’s the spherical container modules made from ball turrets, the suspension springs made from ray guns, the command module made from a helmet visor, and the joints on the mecha made from half of a universal joint. Everything is integrated beautifully into this small but quality-oriented model.
Characters of Brick
Bricks by the Bay and the steampunk Nova Albion exhibition happened at the same time and the same place last month, so Iain Heath (Ochre Jelly) and Guy Himber (V&A Steamworks) took advantage of this massive convergence of geekiness to dress for the occasion. Naturally, Iain followed that up with LEGO versions of himself and the inimitable Mr. Himber.
Bravo, sirs, bravo.
Her arm clad in purest shimmering samite…
“The Lady of the Lake” by Brandon Bannerman (Catsy) combines innovative lighting, forced perspective, and a little software wizardry to create a gorgeous Arthurian scene.
Don’t miss Brandon’s setup shot for more info on how he achieved this photo.
Of course, everyone knows that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Metal Storm mecha by Cole Blaq
We’re used to small to mid-sized mecha from Cole Blaq, but his latest is a rather massive stomper inspired by the old NES game Metal Storm.

The minifig in the cockpit gives some sense of the mecha’s scale:

How to paint an artist.
Ah, the life of an artist. Glamorous, with paintings selling for millions upon millions, right? Eh, probably not. Unless you’re Picasso, this poor minifig probably won’t see his works reach seven digits in his lifetime. But that’s glamorous, right?
All he wants to do is pay for his fantastic flat, that he just cleaned. But he missed the red pigment. That’s going to stain.
I love the detail in this. The coat rack, especially, and the half-finished sculpture. Bravo, Walter Boy.
Capt. Goddard trawls the cold North Sea
Tim Goddard (roguebantha_1138) recently won a Brickish Association contest to build a scene that included only one type of Collectible Minifigure. We love Tim’s microscale creations, but it’s also nice to see him flexing his (apparently quite strong) minifig-scale muscles, too.
