…until now. I loved Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon and this rendition by Mike Nieves is spot on. I especially like the menacing look of the eyes, but there’s a lot of dragon to love in this.

Kyomachiya – “capital town house”
Brickshelf user midnightcat built a detailed kyomachiya townhouse complete with a fully adorned interior. The technique of building the roof with a combination of cylinders and tiles create a good effect.
What’s the difference?
Q: What’s the similarity and difference between these two camels?
A: Both are dead and one is skinned!
Thanks to Sam W. (-infomaniac-), I’ll never be able to look at Lego camels the same again.
True Blue
Actually, neither of these ships uses true LEGO “blue.” They both use shades other than the standard blue, along with various bits of brown. Both of these ships caught my eye today (I’ve built my own brown and blue combinations, so I’m a fan).
First is the Arashi by Nathan Proudlove. He’s achieved an interesting effect by suspending engine pods far forward on spindly booms. It’s enough to make one wonder how it even stayed balanced for the photo to be taken.
Second, is a cute little ship by Tyler Clites. The most impressive thing about this ship is that it’s not really all that small at all, yet it looks like an adorable little ship. I’m also a big fan of the construction of the various intakes on the front. They add just enough detailing to balance out all the smooth curves on the rest of the ship.
You too can build your dream home!
It might not be my dream home, but I can appreciate the influences and sleek lines in Zack (NewRight)’s dream home. All it needs, according to him, are the pretty dolls.
Considering it looks like it should be perched in the hills of southern California, I’d have to say his assessment probably isn’t far off the mark.
Interior shots can be found on Brickshelf.
Central Station in Barsinghausen
Brickshelf user legorianer built a minifig scale version of an old train station from the early 20th century. The roof technique is simple and effective. Check out the entire gallery for construction photos.
Bacon and eggs chaser
That last one deserves a chaser. Here’s an adorable robot composed of bacon and eggs by KryptonHeidt.
Looks delicious, even to a vegetarian like me.
Japanese House
This was actually a coincidence, but when I stumbled upon this building I couldn’t help but post it here. This is an amazing creation, and best yet, it has a superb interior to go along with it. Who knew a musket could be such a good railing?

Ye Olde Forge by Luke Watkins
I can tell you where I’ll be going when I need the services of a forge. This creation is simply stunning. I’m partial to the look of 1×1 and 1×2 plates used to emulate stone; the chimney here is a gorgeous example.
All of the details here, really, are just wonderful. I see something new every time I look. What’s your favorite part about this forge?
Mr. Watkins, you have outdone yourself.
Before the wheel, early man invented Art
While Richard Dawkins might dispute the educational value of a cave man drawing a dinosaur, Karwik combines Duplo cave painting bricks with wonderfully atmospheric presentation in this little scene evocative of Lascaux, circa 15,000 BCE.
The stalactites are also a nice touch.
