This castle in the sky by Mrva & Karlo is one of the few of its kind. I’m reminded of a classic favorite by Nathan Proudlove. The majesty of castles and the celestial quality of the sky makes for a divine combination.

French frigate Achille
EB Perfectionist spent 300 hours over the course of about a year on this large and highly-detailed French frigate called Achille. The sails and rigging are made from linen and 6 different types of string. For more of the builder’s thoughts, check out the post Eurobricks. Additional photos are on Flickr.
Seraphim
Carter Baldwin doesn’t seem to believe in straight lines. His NATO F-83 Seraphim is all angles, curves, hooks and beauty. And it even has working landing gear.
A Trip to the Downtown

The look of this little street section is just fantastic. The designs are nice and simple, and I really like the colors as well, especially with that fire escape there on the side of the tan building. It has a awesome “downtown” feeling to the whole thing, so check it out! I think you’ll like it!
A small glimpse at Greek architecture.
Chris Malloy posted this brilliant Greek temple. I really have very little to say other than it’s gorgeous and encompasses so much of the feel of the time period and architecture in such a small build.
A Humbled Modular

The Michigan LEGO Train Club at Ann Arbor Train Show was held this past Sunday, February 20, 2011 in Saline, Michigan. The models were created by members of the MichLTC, and as one can see, they were huge. I really like this shot because it captures the enormity behind the models. The small brown building in the middle would be quite large compared to Cafe Corner or Green Grocer, but in fact is relatively minuscule in this layout. So cool! For more pictures, visit DecoJim’s photostream and for future MichLTC events and times, visit their website.

War Machines Strike
Chris Edwards once again demonstrates proper way of controling the action with his latest diorama called War Machines Strike. Using clever building techniques as well as puns, Chris shows us what happens when intelligent combat robots throw down their weapons and go on strike, ha! Check out the full gallery on Flickr.
Nice Truck
Théo (Titolian) has just posted a very nice little truck. This truck looks truly utilitarian, with just a splash of color thrown on by its corporate owners. There’s also a bit of a near-future sci-fi flair, which is near to my heart.
The last time I had a chance to build (over a month ago), I was attempting a truck myself. I really appreciate some of the solutions for shaping that he’s found. The slope of the windshield, in particular, looks good to me, especially as it relates to the fenders.
The Decay of Days

A very interesting take on neglect and renovation. The set up of colors really grabs the eye’s attention. I especially like the fencing and boarded up windows. Nice job on this one!
The Manticore orbital death machine
Blake Foster‘s third SHIP is a superweapon with the power to “destroy nearly anything produced by humankind.” This 180 stud long model has some eye-catching features like the spherical bridge and the asymmetrical design of the mid-section. The other side of the ship has docks for two minifig-scale fighters. You can see all this and more in the gallery on Flickr or MOCpages.
