Ben Caukins spent the past 7 months constructing the Normandy SR2 from Mass Effect, proving yet again that he’s not afraid to build large curved ships. The ship measures almost 4 feet long with a wingspan of 19 inches. It will be displayed at Brickworld this weekend in Chicago. You can check out work-in-progress pictures on Flickr.
This Lego rendition of the classic Super Smash Brothers by Daniel Church brings me back to my middle school days when I played this game. The stage of Peach’s Castle is instantly recognizable and features miniland-scale Nintendo characters by Nick Jensen and Casey McCoy.
Brian Williams delivers a stunning rendition of the warehouse scene from Indiana Jones. It took me a while to realize there were mirrors used to create the illusion of depth, for the actual diorama is much smaller. If you spend more time taking a closer look, you might find some good laughs in the crate labels.
Jarek‘s sci-fi vehicles have some of the smoothest contours I’ve seen, and his latest starfighter is no exception. Take note of how well those wedge plates complement the flow of the cement mixer half cylinders.
This sculpture of the Fell Beast by captainsmog captured the ferocity of this menacing creature from The Lord of the Rings. Having the creature pose on the sharp rock formation gave the model a much more dynamic appearance.
Many of you probably recognized this creation of a classic Shel Silverstein poem without reading the title. Jason Allemann (True Dimensions) captured all the details from the original artwork, even including the tiny worm peeking out of the cliff.
My latest starfighter features some hard-to-find medium green bricks and my current favorite part: the pink alien pod. I’m happy with the way it turned out, and hopefully you’ll agree that it indeed has an alien look to it.
Anyone who’s enjoyed the movie Scarface would instantly recognize this climactic scene made by Alex Eylar. For those who prefer the overall view, you’re not being left out.
Ryxe and Sanna has been working on a Lego model of the Czech Hluboká Castle for the majority of the past year. From the looks of it the model’s footprint is larger than a twin-sized bed. While size doesn’t always make a Lego creation great, there are sufficient details to be admired such as the windows on the round towers and other wall decors. While there aren’t additional edited photos, you can find work-in-progress shots in the builder’s Flickr photostream.

Ádám Monostori’s (Rifiröfi) colorful presentation of this action-packed medieval scene is quite eye-catching. It made me realize that an appropriately colored and textured background adds a lot to the photo, which you can see in more of his works.
Thanks for the tip Gabe Umland!

This hive mind behemoth is Zane Houston‘s largest mech and features the builder’s “chunky” style of combining large distinct shapes to make the creation. Those red eyes are a distinctive feature along with the smooth-flowing tan armor plates.
