Besides being a special effects artist behind some of your favorite movies, Guy Himber recently entered into the frenzy of LEGO building after an inspiring BrickCon experience. I’ve not seen fans come out of their dark ages with such stunning creations.

Fabrice Pathier (Four H) from Vimeo made an ultra snazzy fashion show clip featuring designs by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac displayed on LEGO minifigs. I have not seen smoother LEGO animation than this; it’s truely top notch work.
Here is an interesting spin on Quidditch from back in time by SlyOwl. If the crazy colors at first doesn’t stun you, the wacky details will sure catch your attention in this match of knights versus skellies. Watch out for those bludgers!
From Instructables, you can learn to make your own delicious gummy LEGO bricks. If you have the time and money to attempt a silicone mold, then this is definitely a delectable idea to look into.

Check out the PCS Centaur:
And don’t miss our interview with Chris Giddens and Mark Sandlin.
Andrew Lee’s astounding Ganesha hovership from the Matrix is an instant crowd-pleaser. Having improved much from the old version several years ago, the new hovership combines new parts and building techniques in the best Matrix creation I have seen.
Daniel Z presents the hidden fortress of an outlaw tucked in the depths of the forest. But the lurking evil is soon to be uprooted as two scouts have discovered the villain’s hideout. What will happen next?
Vegetarians turn away, Andrew Lee uses a Duplo steak as the head of a mecha in a novel genre called Meatpunk, blurring the line between delicious and creepy. But for now, we can say that this awesome mecha is deliciously creepy, and it’s all suited up for some chopping action.

It seems like many were impressed with the Dimitri’s render of the Mammoth Tank. Just now I stumbled upon a Flickr user, Ernesto Carrillo, who has a set of amazing digital renders of LEGO Technic models. Check them out:
Jarek’s pointy Zaria Interceptor is a typical spacefigher with a high swoosh factor. Also, I want to highlight the fact that Jarek finally signed up on Flickr after recommendations from several fellow builders. You can add him as a contact here.
Mark Stafford’s Sentai Angel is by far from a delicate mecha. It looks like this raging robo can dish out some serious damage. The most interesting bit of this creation is unarguably the use of train heads on the legs! Who’d have thought?
Tom Snellan is the first to enter the 6th annual Collossal Castle Contest with a creation that sets the bar high. Titled “The Perfect Life?”, this seemingly peaceful diorama depicts happiness with a twist, where hooded Death approaches ominously to claim an innocent’s life. What an eerie juxtaposition!
Remember Peter Morris‘ Mammoth Tank? Dimitri recently rendered this model in stunning realism, making the creation appear no less than physically tangible in front of your eyes. According to Peter, a rendering like this takes much computer horsepower and skills and there’s only “a couple others out there that render as well as [Dimitri] does. [...]
Bram Lambrecht presents a re-vamped version of an old MOC called the Pentapterigoid Fighter built all the way back in 1999. The new and vastly improved spacecraft is entered into the Re-build Your First MOC contest (ending Nov. 30th).
Tyler Clites‘ Inquisitor mecha is sinister enough to crush your minifigs in its deathly grip if it doesn’t step on them first. Inspired by this image, this retro-looking mechanical monster stays true to its reference source. The subtle details on the landscape completes this work with an earthly alien setting.
