I make no secret of my love for people who build off the grid. This version of Paris in the 1930s cleverly builds to a curve. What’s more impressive is that it’s a collaboration between three builders: LegoManiac (LM), Captain Spaulding and 74louloute for the recent Fanabrique convention. Très bien!

Bus by Karwik
There is something engaging about a well-built bus. I have no idea what it is, since nearly all of my experiences on long bus rides have been bad. However, regardless of my own past experience, Karwik has built a charming bus, complete with bus stop.
Muntstraat Police Headquarters
Jasper Joppe Geers incorporates some beautiful custom Art Deco windows into his design for this two-story building with a complete interior.
Syrena 104 in LEGO
Jarek (Jerrec) used to be a very regular feature here but it’s a while since I remember noticing anything new from him. But it’s been well worth the wait for this amazingly detailed Syrena 104. I love the real cars and cannot believe how perfect Jarek’s version is.
Whitewash
I’ve not blogged any of my recent LEGO models because I’ve a) not been building much and b) not been building things I’m satisfied with. This one doesn’t quite avoid b) but I do alternate between dissatisfaction and great satisfaction so it’s probably close enough.
If anyone has spotted any other LEGO whitewash buildings I’d love to see them so do provide links.
Open/shut/open/shut
Not only does Ralph Savelsberg (Mad physicist) make nice looking LEGO models (in this case a tiller truck) he likes to go that extra km and add features. In this case a bunch of opening doors and working ladder. For the big kid in every AFOL.
Window into a hole
This one goes out to the town builder readers. Larry Lars is still going on his illustrated guides to windows and I’m still watching. If you build town there will be a window for you.
Got meth?
Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) does courtesy of Walter White. It’s also a top-notch Winnebago design.
Brick built painting
I’ll bet this creation by Neverroads isn’t something you see everyday. Here’s the setup.
Everybody’s surfin’ now
This simple composition featuring some not-so-simple creations by Jack Marquez (Ewok in Disguise) captures the feel of a Beach Boys song: Corvette convertible, custom Harley-Davidson and a surfboard.
Check out all the pedals and valves on that Harley and the red rubber bands for racing stripes.
