Although Sucker Punch may be getting reamed by critics, it’s still a visually breathtaking film that is inevitably inspiring LEGO models. Fredo Houben is the first I’ve seen to take on the iconic bunny mech, complete with custom stickers.

Belgium: World Champions of government formation
Occasionally, a LEGO creation emerges of such intriguing oddity that it requires a second and third look. Such is the case with “Someone needs a little bit of motivation” by Matti (Matn). Yes, those are French Belgian fries:
Apparently, Belgium has been without a government for nearly 10 months (292 days and counting). Click through to the photo page on Flickr for the entertaining description of the symbolism in Matti’s LEGO political cartoon.
Alphabet ships!
Mark Anderson (andertoons) finished a project two years in the making: building a spaceship for each letter of the alphabet. You can see the entire gallery on his website. Which one’s your favorite?
Dark bley war machines
Sure I could have made these two blog posts but to my eyes these two LEGO models look like they could be from the same universe so I’m indulging my imagination and putting them together.
First is the Fast Attack Vehicle by Kyle Vrieze (bermudafreze) in three variants. The whole design is cleverly built at an angle.
Secondly an older model F-90 ‘Comet’ by Joe and Will Merzlak (Brothers Merz) uses lots of hingeing and angling to give a brutal insect feel. And it’s a truly lovely photo to boot.
Tonka goes heavy
Fedde’s (Karf Oohlu) Tonka Heavy Assault Truck is far from its tame Brand-name counterpart. This armored vehicle of destruction is jam packed with cannons, missiles, and turrets to clean up a ground army.
Lego in the style of Dr. Seuss
Tyler Clites adds a flair of Dr. Seuss in this colorful creation, which supposedly cleans up your Lego mess and sorts your bricks by color (my favorite method). This is a perfect example of making a great creation that has multiple basic colors.
UPDATE: wondering where that Lego mess came from? Check out what Alex Eylar built in response.
Tablescrap Robbery
Most people are satisfied with simply uploading a bad picture of their LEGO tablescraps and adding them to their group. Nothing so simple was on the agenda for Brent (thwaak). He arranged, narrated, photographed and edited. And I’m glad he did.
Winter Break
Chris Edwards recently photographed his contribution of BrickFair’s Snowpocalypse layout last year. The abandoned school building covered in cold snow really helps to evoke an eerie feeling.
The Phantom Cart by Dali in Lego
My latest work is not something I typically build. It’s my first forced perspective build, my first imitation of a 2D image, and also my first time building a MOC for a single photo. You can see the original painting and its meaning on Flickr.
A tale of two creatures
Here’s a double feature of two creatures by Sean and Steph Mayo (Siercon and Coral). The first is called a serpent fly, which features great use of parts from the 1999 Insectoid theme. The second is a crystal dragon who not only looks angry but also deadly enough to inflict serious damage with those spikes on his back.
