Because I love this new ship by Chase Lewis (Vid’). The ship manages to at once be sleek and bulky. It also makes great use of a gigantic tail fin from the airplane sets.
I’d love to say more about this creation, but it’s taken me nearly a week just to find the time to post about it at all.
This modified off-road Range Rover by Cole Blaq is simply phenomenal. It looks ready for anything.
The intentional hunched back look between the engine and passenger compartments is so well done.
Our occassional technic reviewer Peer Kreuger (mahjqa) doesn’t just know about technic, he’s a dab hand at building it. Drawing inspiration from the Metal Slug computer games and his own omniwheels he’s created the crazy remote controlled Metal Grudge. And to really take it to the next level he’s used camera cars to get action shots like the one above. Much more fun than a computer game.
With LEGO Harry Potter sets making a return this year, it’s nice to see people building various Harry Potter creations again.
Matn has posted a gorgeous Hogsmeade Station that would look just as great in a regular Town/Train layout:
Not content to build something only for the camera (as many of us do — who among us hasn’t “cheated” by leaving off parts on the far side?), Matn built a complete platform and pedestrian overpass:
With lovely half-timber construction, texturing on the chimney, and excellent stonework on the first-floor corners, this creation is truly magical.
With our own piece of futuristic architecture left over from the 1962 World’s Fair spiking the Seattle skyline, I’m always interested to learn about other examples of strange buildings that reflects the failed hopes of decades past.
Much cooler than our Space Needle, Atomium was built for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair. The aptly nicknamed Polegon has posted a microscale version of this Belgian landmark (via MicroBricks):
Which reminds me of the larger version posted some time back by Fragty (Klocki):
Steef de Prouw (mediocre) presents a lesser well-known ship from the Star Wars universe based on the Harbinger. The hammerhead shape is as distinctive as it is hard to build, featuring techniques such as half plate offsets to replicate the narrowing tips of the hammer shape. You can read more about this 122 stud long SHIP on MOCpages.
Mike Psiaki’s revamped Bell ‘Huey’ UH-1 model bears great semblance to its common and reliable real life counterpart. I especially like the details on the rotors, but best of all, Mike has generously donated this model for sale to Creations for Charity, which means you can buy it in November.
It took me a moment to recognize what this sculpture by Tim Simon represents. I thought it was a spaceship or an explosion at first, but it’s actually a bullet shot through an apple! That’s definitely not something you see done in Lego each day.
It’s been a while since I remember seeing (apparently my memory is poor, there’s one two or three posts back) a microscale spaceship here so I’m glad Chris Boen (mos_doomsday) has provided such a nice one. The Cervina is a beauty with a great livery and effective use of stickers.
