…defending ur spacestations.
Ben Jarvis constructed an oddly shaped fighter for SCI-LUG‘s Small Starfighter contest. The ship flies in vertical position, propelled by space turbines. What a crazily cool concept!

Saving the last flower
Jeramy Cooke (icecoldmilk) recently finished a diorama intended for a certain contest a year ago :). It depicts a lone survivor guarding the last flower on Earth from an invading Black Fantasy creature. I love the dynamic chaos of the landscape and its contrast with a clean black and white tiled interior. Check through each photo in the gallery for notes from the builder on interesting details that you don’t want to miss.
New colors of space
Jarek‘s awesome space pirate battleship features a unique blend of purple and black, resulting in a most spectacular build. As a rare and out-of-production color, purple is a sought-after color for its effective color accenting against neutral tones such as black and gray.
The Bone Rattler
Steven Walker figured out what to do with all those extra battle droid arms that were laying around. Build a bike! I’ve never seen anything quite like this…definitely an eye-catcher!
Check out the Checker!
Lego911 grabs a cab…and what a lovely rendition of the classic Checker Cab it is too.
Willys MB Jeep Ambulance
David Luna has outfitted his medics with a jeep modified to carry stretchers. I hadn’t ever seen one of these before, they really did exist!
He’s done an excellent job on this recreation. I’m really liking how he used the all-purpose BrickArms monopods on the stretcher racks.
Here is another picture, with stretchers in place:
Maserati of the Air
Fedde has gone airborne with this magnetically-powered Maserati Airturismo. Smooth lines, open cockpit, and my son’s favorite color…what more could you want?
Steampunk Roundup
There’s been a barrel-full of quality Steampunk creations lately. Many are entries in the Agents of the Imperial Crown contest, but some aren’t. It doesn’t matter, they are all awesome!

A very alien starfighter
Dr. X astounds me with his latest very unique alien starfighter. Unlike most spacecrafts, this one actually resembles a living creature with the tentacles and the life-sustaining cockpit.
Overland Wayside Landing
Foamrider recently posted a cute little flying rock. This one supplies a long-overlooked need. Namely a rest stop for those overworked denizens of the sky, the messenger owls!
I wish I had a messenger owl that I could overwork….
