Forbidden Cove has launched the site’s first contest!
Christened the “Castaway Contest“, the premise is to build the abode of a long-stranded survivor. So bust out those fabulous building skills and show them what you can do!
There is some sweet pirate booty up for grabs as well:
First Place: #6265 Sabre Island
Second Place: #6260 Shipwreck [...]
Sly Owl just posted a peaceful diorama of two friends and their game. Having actually played Pooh Sticks myself, I can vouch for the mind-numbing addictiveness of the game. Awesome job, Owl, gotta love Pooh Sticks!
Crimson Wolf serves up a sweet course of zombie action, entitled “Zombie Pursuit”. Remember, never look back, you never know what might be gaining.
Remember to look for more Zombie mayhem at BrickCon in October!
Nolnet shows us that life often has unexpected consequences. Kissing a frog never seemed like a good thing to me anyway.
Best use of a SpongeBob fig I’ve seen yet.
Its been awhile since we’ve showcased any Steampunk. Check out this sweet monoplane by 2 Much Caffeine.
Flickr user Kiolden’s vignette is worth highlighting for a very clever technique used. Can you see what it is? It’s flowers on a string for the smoke from the rocket! This is a very useful and a much cheaper alternative to the ice-cream smoke technique invented by Mark Stafford.
Follow the changing seaons as Barbara Werth shows how to till the soil, sow the seed, tend to the crop, and reap the harvest in a series of lovely little vignettes:

Things are unlikely to end well in this vignette by Tyler:
Note the suckers on the tentacle, as well as the Lowell-Lambrecht sphere from which the unlucky girl is suspended.
Matt S. shows what happens at the end of summer, which involves finding oneself on the big bad yellow bus once again. But I don’t remember my school bus having sharp teeth that chomped on children. Oh how times change.
Mechanical anthropologists have long speculated about the afterlife of the Primal Bots captured on film by field researcher Rong Yiren.
Now we have the answer in this photo titled “Damnation!”
Yes, but where do good Primal Bots go when their power sources run out?
As a continuation to his tea house, Nathan has posted a lovely Zen garden.
The beauty of the leaning tree is likely to distract those seeking to clear their minds, while the perfect torii evokes thoughts of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism — but we won’t go there.
And now for something completely different. A Wells, Fargo [...]
Although the studs-sideways road is a fairly common sight in post-apocalyptic dioramas these days, Moritz Nolting goes two studs deep in this smaller scene to add greater detail, including the first signs of life:
Curzon79 suggests that when a troll has nightmares, he sees horrible, beautiful flowers and nasty, pretty butterflies:
Fitting a bed around the troll must certainly have been an interesting challenge, and those large brick-built flowers are great.
Harrison (corran101) makes creative use of the LEGO Astronaut Bubble to relive the glory and hilarity of Super Monkey Ball the video game.
Even robots sometimes get down in the dumps and have to scrounge for a living. Though this reminds me of something from the Futurama universe, Teikjoon sets this lovely little vignette in the Star Wars universe, where — on a planet embargoed by the Trade Federation — unemployed robots “choose to stay operational, scavenging for [...]
I suspect Harrison may end up spending time at the Chestnut Tree Cafe for his inability to goodthink, but his vignette is doubleplusgood regardless:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Firefly, and now Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog — everything that Joss Whedon touches turns to gold.
Here’s my take on a scene from Act II of Dr. Horrible:
Go watch all three episodes for yourself on DrHorrible.com (before the end of the day today, though — they’ll be gone after midnight, July [...]
Zach (BabyJawa) enters the Picking up the Pieces ApocaLEGO contest with this vignette titled “Forest Haven”:
Never underestimate the power of well-posed minifigs. For such a small scene, there’s a lot going on, with great landscaping underneath it all. I especially like the overhanging rocks above the pool of water.
