See anything interesting in Jarek’s newest creation at a glance? Take a second look and you might notice the shift from minifig-scale to microscale between the foreground and background!
Indeed, Jarek is using forced perspective in his latest work, and he does it superbly.
Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) presents two unusual creations dealing with the deviant wonders of science. His newest work is a Frankensteined version of the Slave I from Star Wars (built for Reasonably Clever’s Spooky Star Wars Contest).
His other recent work is a mech owned by the twisted Dr. Kringe. You can now see a video clip [...]
Jamie Spencer (Morgan19) came up with some creepy minifigs for the Halloween minifig contest on Fine Clonier forums. These figs use a combination of custom and standard LEGO parts in creative ways and each has a unique eerie personality.

A few days ago Adrian Florea (Olog) posted a motorized steampunk battle machine, one with aesthetics blended into a clever mechanism inspired by Theo Jansen’s walkers.
See it in action!
James Wadsworth of LAML (LEGO and More LEGO), known for hosting the most popular LEGO audio podcast, is now expanding LAML’s domain to introduce LAMLtv. Checkout the teaser below and listen to the audio introduction here (you can right click to download).
Whew, back to normal blogging! We’ve missed highlighting a few non-BrickCon related creations over the weekend, but we’ll get to them.
Aaron Andrews (DARKspawn), who’s normally a castle builder, switches fancy and builds a big mech bay instead. It’s sufficient to say one might say that he’s been up to building mecha all his life, but [...]
Pictures of the third day of BrickCon are now appearing. During the public hours, over 3,200 visitors attended the show, as you can see from the chaotic picture below.

Updates from Andrew:
During the awards ceremony, Josh and I [...]
Andrew, Josh, and I are at BrickCon this week (the third and last LEGO convention in North America of 2008).
As usual, Thursday is arrival and setup, and from our photo coverage you can see the 20,000 square feet of display area in the process of filling up with marvelous creations. Andrew and I have [...]
Marcin (Hippotam) cooks up a fresh take on the pirate theme and presents outdoor BBQ with a flavor of, mmm… pirates. Don’t miss out on all the juicy details such as this hilarious shark killer contraption. For a small diorama, Volcanic Island sure packs some zing!
Jarek (Jerrac) built his latest creation in only 4-5 hours, something which I cannot usually accomplish. He admits that it’s fast, but that doesn’t at all undermine the quality of this cool hovercraft. Check out the use of stretched-out inverted tire pieces for the bumpers on the model.
Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) knows where to put a pirate’s booty - inside a giant skull shaped mountain on a castaway island of course. Check out the interior that is chock full of more details to absorb and notice that the two halves of the mountains are put together via LEGO magnets as opposed to the [...]
I will try to steer away from the drama and hype about the Castle Advent Calendar in an attempt to distract the viewers so I can get a better shot at securing my two copies. Ok, I admit it’s not working.
Meanwhile, Soren Roberts‘ Endurance Fleet Carrier is a very noteworthy microscale creation, one of the [...]
Brickshelf user (and Klocki contributor) Sariel presents two versions of an auto-controlled tripod turret, one featuring light-up fiber-optic cables and a spinning barrel while the other features a fully-working firing mechanism that launches 12 clips.
Check out the Youtube video of both versions of the gun:
Tim G (Roguebantha) has been working lately on a microscale Star Wars battle of epic proportions. It’s all come down to this action-packed diorama featuring some of the best LEGO Star Wars mini models around. Click on the pictures below for the Flickr gallery, or you can check out the Brickshelf gallery here.

It has been many months since we saw teaser pictures of Arvo’s Doll, and now the builders have finally uploaded a complete frontal shot of the amazing model.
Check out this peaceful lighthouse scene that has a classic-town theme feel to it created by Matija Grguric (the builder who brought you Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye). Take note of the incorporation of this raised baseplate into the creation.
Eurobricks has a newer version of the images of the Power Miners sets that’ll be released in 2009. At this point the designs may still be preliminary, but this picture appears much more legit than the catalog scan that we have seen earlier.
Jarek’s nifty power loader model looks like it can handle some serious weight-lifting with those powerful looking arms. Far from clumsy, a creation like this takes some skilled and nimble craftsmanship with the brick, something that Jarek has mastered well. Check out the gallery for more pictures and in-action shots.
