We could certainly have used this little mecha by Chris (Ironsniper) a few months ago. I love the tiny little arms and the big Bionicle harpoon.
Thanks for the tip, Nancy!

P-72A “Skyhammer” gunship by JonHall18
I can’t get enough of Jon Hall’s dieselpulp fighter aircraft, and his latest is my favorite so far.
The stickers are all custom-designed by Jon, with a pinup girl that’ll get the blood pumping in even the iciest flyboy’s veins. And that is some serious firepower sprouting from the fighter’s nose.
Awesome tip, Don!
Japanese Restaurant
His work’s been blogged before, and for a good reason. This LEGO model is a tremendous rendition of Japanese architecture. The brown, vertical beams look terrific as well as that finely sloped gray tiled roof.

A Nutherwun
It’s no secret that Rodney Bistline’s (Buster®) “swoosher”s are some of my favourite spaceships. So loving the Nutherwun Strike Craft was a natural fit.
Custom DC Comics superheroes
Julian Fong (levork) has made a set of nine DC Comics superheroes for Creations for Charity. Each features custom-designed waterslide decals and an acrylic finish. They’re one-of-a-kind minifigs whose quality is among the best I’ve seen. You can check out more of Julian’s works on Flickr.
UPDATE: They’re all sold out!
Classic X-wing
Flickr user marshal banana presents one of the best minifig-scale X-wings I have seen. None of the details seem forced; even the complex windshield design looks well-integrated into the ship. Check out more great Star Wars creations on the builder’s photostream.
The Old One awakens
Mr. Xenomurphy pays homage to H. P. Lovecraft with the summoning of an Old One from a grim mansion. Click through the picture for a story and more shots of the build.
Favorites from the Mini Castle Contest
The Classic-Castle.com Mini Castle Contest wrapped up a couple weeks ago, and winners were recently announced. MicroBricks has a great roundup of the winners and runners-up, but here are a few of my favorites that we didn’t blog already, along the way.
Valentin (Skalldyr) uses excellent forced perspective in this scene showing Roman conquest.
Avocado Butters uses Technic bushes and 1×2 grills to achieve the most amazing detail I’ve ever seen in a LEGO microscale castle.
Mr./Ms. Butters also entered this spooky temple, using the trophy from the Collectible Minifigure karate dude as a statue.
Prairie Style House
Very intriguing build. The wall along the sidewalk really catches the eye, as do the red and tan conflicting with each other. However, I think my favorite part is the glass-balcony walk out, great idea there. Keep up the great work!
