Sam W. (-infomaniac-) presents an innovative design for a mecha that uses asymmetry to great effect. At the same time, the Power Miners wheels and the coordinated sand green color blocking unifies the distinct elements of this creation. The large cannon is a very necessary feature.
Tiago Catarino’s Mobile Lab Platform Explorer has a unique design, but besides the concept, this vehicle actually moves! Check out the video.
Following the success of his vignettes depicting the adventures of Clumsy Pete in Atlantis, Bart De Dobbelaer has started a new series with a thriller set in space. Inspired by works including Pandorum, Event Horizon, and Dead Space Downfall, Bart hopes to draw elements from these works to create a unique story.

Peter Woodley’s (lil grizzle) talent has slipped under our radars for over a year, but I’m glad to have stumbled across his latest Fort Flogwelt creation. This whimsically eerie fortress is crawling with creatively crafted horrors. The skull with the centipede in its mouth, the eyeball, and the hanging cage are just a few of my favorite details. You can see more pictures of the creation and a backstory on MOCpages.
Looking at this space ship is like getting punched in the face! This Vic Viper by Kyle Slushey combines two bright colors to great effect. The green and blue contrast nicely, making the image pop in big way. He’s also included just enough patches of gray for the eye to rest on.
Alex Eylar (Profound Whatever) is building at a pace that we can’t keep up with (and I did not intentionally repeat Andrew). His latest is a depiction of the Escher masterpiece in the Classic Space theme. Since there’s no gravity in space, there’s some paradoxical realism to this work. It’s all too wonderful.
Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) did a stunning job of rendering the Ectomobile from Ghostbusters in Lego. This beauty was completed in only two days and features some shiny chrome elements. He says it’s a keeper, and who couldn’t agree more?
Nick Dean finished his model of the Lockheed Constellation, a propeller-driven aircraft used in the 40’s and 50’s as a civilian airliner and military transport plane. In addition to capturing the unique shape of the aircraft, Nick has also included a 1950’s refueling truck that’s a beauty of its own. You can see all pictures in this Flickr gallery.
