A couple of months ago, Andrew Lee (onosendai2600) challenged TBB’s own Nannan Zhang (Nannan) to a building contest.
This was to be an epic challenge of skill, with only two limitations. The first limitation was the deadline, which was the end of April. The second, each builder had to use all of [...]
Hippotam has built this snazzy rendition of the famous Polish observatory.
Also, it’s built with only 100 pieces….

I like the posture of this mech, it has a very organic feel to it. By the way, Brian Kescenovitz is giving away this vignette to the person who comes up with a name for the grey mech. Who doesn’t like free Lego?
In more contest news, Reasonably Clever and TwinLUG are hosting the Bad Day for Micropolis contest.
As this gorgeous school (with adorably itty-bitty school buses) built by judge Max Braun illustrates, the TwinLUG Micro City Standard is fairly simple — to fit into collaborative displays — while still enabling individual builders to do some pretty cool [...]

The results have been announced for the Show Us What You Got Contest over on Flickr. As one of the judges in this contest, I must say that this was an extremely tough choice. There were so many fantastic entries that it was hard to narrow things down and produce only four winners. [...]

Matt (Plastic Matt) has built a really cool mech for the mecha hub civilian mecha contest. I love the feel that this thing captures. It seems industrial and heavy-duty, just like something carrying an I-beam should. The head is just perfect too, though it reminds me of Maximilian from The Black Hole. [...]
