Nnenn’s Evolved X-wing
The X-wing Evolution contest over at FBTB Forums is yielding some interesing takes on what a hypothetical future version of the X-wing would be, not least of which is Nnenn’s entry:

And be sure to check out Zook360′s Stikfas — not LEGO, but still pretty cool if you like good customization.
Kratos, God of War
Okay, last one of my own, I promise. ;-) Here’s Kratos from the PS2 game God of war:
Real men (and T-800s) wear black!
Decent weather afforded me the opportunity to photograph lots of the minifigs that have been waiting in piles around our living room. I’m too impatient to dole them out slowly, so I uploaded them all at once, which obligates me to blog ‘em all, I suppose. ;-) Anyway…
Here are Agent J and Agent K from Men in Black:
T-800 Model 101 (as played by the Governor of California) from The Terminator (with weapons by BrickArms):
Violent delights have violent ends…

Heavy Metal Minifigs
I love building musical minifigs, but my taste in music generally runs to indie and alternative rock, and those bands pretty much all look alike in minifig form (white guys in T-shirts and blue jeans). Thankfully, I was chatting with Nelson Yrizarry and he suggested using Voldemort’s face for Alice Cooper. Hurray! :twisted:
How could I build a heavy metal rocker like Alice Cooper without building the quintessential artist of the genre? I couldn’t, so here’s Ozzy Osbourne (with an animal friend):
Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water
I built these elemental mages for BrickFest but I’m just getting around to posting them.

Wind mage Vilhelmina
Fire mage Shihab
Earth mage Dumisa
Water mage Glimbert
Every army needs a cyborg shark!

Album Art by Taka Hamada
I’ve featured LEGO album art by Digger Digger Dogstar and minifig, I don’t think I’ve ever highlighted Taka Hamada’s extensive collection.
Pink Floyd’s The Division Bell (1994):
Mr. Big’s self-titled debut (1989):
Björk’s Medúlla (2004):
Delian-class Frigate by Brenden Wilson
Brenden Wilson presents a new ship in his microscale fleet, a Delian-class frigate:
Louie Louie!
Jared Burks collaborates with another great customizer, NickGreat, to create the Devaronian Mos Eisley Cantina denizen Labria (nicknamed “Louie” during production):
4 8 15 16 23 42 = LEGO Lost
Jon Furman combines cool post-processing on his photo with an excellent rendition of the scene in which Locke discovers the Hatch in J.J. Abrams’ “Lost”.
Kinkaku-ji by Jumpei Mitsui
Jumpei Mitsui and Sachiko Akinaga have earned international reputations through their participation in the LEGO King Championship TV show. More importantly, they’re both well-known for their great building skills, as Jumpei demonstrates with his recreation of Kinkaku-ji, the “Golden Pavilian” in Kyoto, Japan:
(I think Hippotam over at Klocki has a time machine.)
Vignettes as Philosophical Statement
