This plane is just gorgeous. Ed Diment (Lego Monster) states that it’s a 1 in 20th scale, and he plans to add more. I can’t wait.

Eon Castle
Newcomer Lolino has posted another fantastic creation: Eon Castle. I really enjoy a castle with a bit of mottling, and I think Eon Castle accomplishes a nice, random look without being too busy. I particularly like the tower and the wood structures.
Waxed in History

Remember that WIP museum post we had a little while back? Well, it’s done, and it’s nothing less than exceptional. The level of detail on this thing is extraordinary. The pillars add that sense of dominance to the building with those large white windows contrasting perfectly with the tan. I love the design of this thing. Great work all around!
Meth-roaches go *splat* under the heels of the Octan Sec-Mech
The fuel that powers all those racers in the recent LUGNuts challenge has to come from somewhere. And something has to defend that fuel from meth-roaches. Wait, what? Take it away, Mark Stafford!

The Daniel Gran Wax Museum of Collectible Minifigures
Well, this is certainly one way to display your Collectible Minifigs. Daniel Gran (shutinc) has built a gorgeous edifice to house his collection.
Daniel apparently plans to run wiring throughout the building to light it up (note the blue lamp up on the roof). Check out the photoset on Flickr to see the interior.
Octan Racing Le Mans prototype race car by LegoExotics
This Le Mans race car by Jens M. (LegoExotics) goes so fast we missed his red, white, and green streak of awesome when he first posted it.
The Technic scale lets Jens achieve a lot of detail in a relatively small space, like the lovely blue and tan square or those little antenna thingies.

Stay at the Valencia Hotel!

A spectacular rendition of the Valencia Hotel found in Anaheim, California. The thing that I like most about this structure is the turn of the century feel to it. The rows of repeating windows, cornice detailing, and the white clashing with the brown are just right for a building like this. Great job on this!
Kwi-chang’s LAB-001 SRAM buggy gets the job done
Ryuhei Kawai (Kwi-chang) recently saw TRON Legacy and was inspired to create this four-wheeled sci-fi buggy as his first LEGO creation of the year.
The buggy has four-wheel suspension, and looks like it’ll go just about anywhere.
“I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo!”

Well, not really. It’s actually a really great song by Glenn Miller, check it out sometime! But more importantly, check out this terrific layout of Kalamazoo, Michigan by Flickr member statlerhotel / d k. Not only does it feature the Kalamazoo County Courthouse, but also numerous other downtown buildings, such as the Grande Ballroom (see below.)

Great job on this. This is why LEGO is so awesome.
The Right Shot
Sometimes, getting the right photo of a creation seems to be as important as the construction itself. A poor photograph can reduce a great creation to mediocrity, and a great photograph catch the eye, drawing the viewer in to examine more closely.
The latter was the case with this vertical tank by Ribbitz over on flickr. When I saw a thumbnail of this photo in my contacts’ streams, I had to take a closer look. While I might like it if the gun weren’t slightly cropped out, the composition is still quite nice. The viewer gets the impression of a hulking, heavily armored artillery vehicle. In fact, the creation is quite small, and reveals nicely detailed legs.
