Alex P (Sirens-Of-Titan) is a newcomer into the Lego scene on Flickr, but his fantasy era builds are far above the works of a novice. This goblin-infested ruin boosts the highlights of a leaning round tower and grass stems used for spiky trees. The texture of the landscape is also well done, and that river is gorgeous.
Dutch builder Nieks G. built this lovely paddle-wheeler for a contest on Eurobricks. With a gorgeously curved deckhouse in dark red, it’s a boat on which I’d love to cruise up the Nile.
Lino Martins found himself among the people in the world who didn’t have a spare €750,000 lying around to buy one of the 75 McLaren SLR Stirling Moss cars that Mercedes-Benz built, so he built his own from LEGO.
Dane Erland (Lord Dane) gives a very big gun to a tall mecha with tiny arms in a surprisingly effective combination that I wouldn’t want to face down on a dead-end street.
It’s wonderful to have Doctor Who back on the air, and even better that those of us watching it on BBC America don’t have to wait weeks for it after it airs in the UK. This week’s episode wrapped up the season opener rather nicely, and this LEGO treatment by Legoagogo is rather nice as well.
In a very roundabout way (see Keith’s comment) this LEGO diorama is a three-way collaboration between Peter Morris, Mike Yoder (builder42) and Keith Goldman. But the 14-fold symmetric launch bay is 100% Goldman. Behold the CLAW.

The Sydney Opera House is probably one of the hardest buildings to make in LEGO due to its compound curves. All attempts I can remember seeing have used plate sculpting which gets the shape right but not the smooth texture of the shells. Until now!
Bad Leo has used a building technique that is nothing short of brilliant to construct the compound curves. I believe this is similar to how the real opera house is constructed. The end result is amazing.
Kris Kelvin shows that sometimes it takes only one minifig to put a completely new spin on a creation. While a glance shows an old church, a closer look reveals a lone robot tending the sanctuary. The creation is titled “The life of Brother Robotius, last space missionary.” Now my mind is swarming with ideas on how that could’ve happened.
Even though we Americans threw off the shackles of monarchy more than 200 years ago, we still find something fascinating in the pomp of a royal event, like the wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton today tomorrow in London. Justin Ramsden made a name for himself with his Amy Winehouse sculpture last year, and even got a job as the youngest-ever Model Maker at Legoland Windsor as a result. His latest sculpture honors the wedding couple.
