Imagination:
Curiosity asks, ”Why?” and imagines explanations or possibilities (if.. then). Playfulness asks what if? and imagines how the ordinary becomes extraordinary, fantasy or fiction. Dreaming it is a first step towards doing it.

Familiar . . . but tiny
I spent four days under the shadow of Robin Sather’s 1:1 scale torii gate at BrickCon last weekend, so it was lovely to see this equally impressive-but much smaller- version of Miyajima Torii by Matija Grguric.
All out action
Ryan H. (L.D.M.) shows us action in his latest and largest creation called Neotron Base. The black and white factions go all out in this battle with guns, sludge, and even an extending, grasping, hand, thingy.
An intrepid builder: Ed Diment completes 22-foot-long USS Intrepid aircraft carrier
Ed Diment is no stranger to building highly detailed huge models but his USS Intrepid is, I believe, his biggest yet. It’s so big, in fact, that he could never set it all up in his house so it only ever appeared at STEAM 2010. There are so many great details that I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader to spot them all.

What’s even better is that the Intrepid wasn’t left without an escort. Chris Lee (Babalas Shipyards) also brought along his USS Haggard, Gary Davis (Bricks for Brains) added the USS Pampanito and Ralph Savelsberg (mad_physicist) designed the planes. A superb collaboration.
PS. I realise it’s a bit hard to get an idea of size from these pictures so I’ll add that the Pampanito is 2.44m (8′) long, the Haggard is 2.90m (9.5′) long and the Intrepid is a mind-boggling 6.80m (22′4″) to 6.90m (22′8″) long (Ed tells me he never measured her but guessed from the table size).
