Electronic Warfare Frigate “Kitsune” by Tim Zarki
I’ll repeat my silly multilingual joke I left as a comment on the photo: “Foxy!” (Kitsune means “fox” in Japanese.) And does this represent the fifth of five cool microspace ships? Or is that an “S” that stands for “Sexy?” Hmmm…
Wrench in Australian is Spanner
Aaron “DARKspawn” Andrews is participating in the hardsuit contest over in the Flickr LEGO group. Is this the third of three cool hardsuits? Only time will tell…
I am just going outside and may be some time...
Alan Saunders illustrates the moments after Antarctic explorer Lawrence Oates spoke his famous last words. I love the miniature camp in the background.
My turn at ApocaLEGO
Well, I finally got it done. I first started this creation the moment after the new fan-created LEGO theme ApocaLEGO was launched, but it took a while to get just right. I’m pleased to present Checkpoint. This checkpoint is stationed around the remains of an old brick building and consists of a crow’s nest lookout, rows of sandbags and barbed wire, and precious little else. A tilted pole barely manages to provide power, and an awning provides a little relief from the burning sun.
Walker Dragoon by Izzo
It’s been too long since we’ve blogged one of Izzo’s always wonderful mecha. His latest is titled “Walker Dragoon”.
News: HOW/CON 2007
Okay, I’m more than a little embarrassed. I’ve been incredibly busy with work over the last few weeks, and I’ve neglected my usual online haunts (like Classic-Castle.com and several others) and haven’t kept up with many of the blogs I usually read. But enough about me — I’m just making excuses for why I hadn’t blogged HOW/CON 2007! :-)
HOW/CON 2007 is a contest organized by Kotaro Ono of How Many Studs to LEGOLAND. The contest has two categories — a challenge to use one of the new skeleton horses in a creation, and another challenge to use a skeleton torso.
There are some pretty amazing creations in both categories, so check out the links above! Here are a couple that struck my fancy:
Little Sachiko’s Flowers
Sachiko Akinaga presents an adorable creation inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s story “Little Ida’s Flowers.”
News: Nathan Sawaya on The Colbert Report tonight
Brick artist Nathan Sawaya will be on The Colbert Report tonight. Nathan is best known for his sculptures and mosaics, one of which he built during a taping of The Late Show with David Letterman a while ago. Perhaps Nathan will build something like this tonight:

More than meets the eye
Bruce over at MicroBricks has found some really adorable microscale transformers by Brainbox:
Surrealism strikes Nannan Z. again
Reminiscent of his “Cosmic Chaos,” Nannan Z‘s latest foray into surrealistic LEGO art is titled “Antagonistic Forces Erupting from the Kiss of Bley”. Weird, sure, but oh so cool.
Miniland scale ZZ Top and Eliminator!
Hey All,
I’m back from a self-inflicted hiatus/exile and just stumbled across this. Hope you all enjoy it!
While I haven’t heard of this builder before, X-Speed seems to specialize in miniland vehicles. Pretty nifty!
