Mark Neumann’s (SnowLeopard) Wheevil quadruped mecha is a beast. Those menacing eyes and hydraulic cylinders on the legs are quite striking. Oh yea, and there’s that gatling gun too.

The Liberation of Cherbourg
Dunechaser unveils a a classic scene from World War 2 with his Cherbourg diorama. Excellent photography and extremely realistic buildings make for an inspiring creation. My favorite aspect is probably the jagged gray wall in the back, very well done. We look forward to more Dunechaser!
Post Apocostrich!
I’ve seen quite a few humorous uses of the ostrich head, but this robo-bird by Stuart Delahay is taking things to the next level. The backstory on MOCpages is quite hilarious as well, you should check it out.
Fire truck from Fahrenheit 451
Bartosz Kacprzyk (the oneman) creates his version of the fire truck from Fahrenheit 451. I love the fitting retro-futuristic style of this vehicle and the plow, which I think makes the creation stand out. The warm lighting also adds to the presentation; we don’t need to see a pile of burning books to know that things are about to heat up.
Where do shoes come from? Containers!
Better late than never. Nate Brill (Shuppiluliumas) and PennLUG debuted this wonderful container ship and port at BrickFair2010. RAILBRICKS have already written at great length about it so I’ll spare the details here but I will add that I’m a huge fan of the old rundown port next to the much more modern one. Lovely!
Imperial probe droid scouts the surface of Hoth
Phil Memmer built an UCS-style model of the probe droid, making good use of the quarter saucer pieces. The detailed mechanical arms are simply fascinating to look at.
Cool in any language
I don’t pretend to be able to read or pronounce the name of this new mecha by Dane Erland (Lord Dane). That doesn’t stop me from knowing that I like the CEC Podróżujący – czworonóg, though.
There are a lot of excellent details on this creation, starting with the well sculpted small turret on top. I also think that the gears and other bits at the joints of the legs really help give them a functional look. The use of minifig vests to vary the thickness of the legs is also a nice touch, especially using an old castle logo to add insignia to the creation.
Persian Corner
Here we go! The Prince of Persia pieces are flowing into Cafe Corner models. At first glance I thought the same builder from our previous post made this, but no. Another builder has taken advantage of the new arches and colors to make this masterpiece. Great job on this!
Where little green aliens come from
Flickr user Fat Tony 1138 enlightens us.
In case you’re wondering, the stubby alien in the last frame is not a Lego minifig.
