I recently helped Linus Bohman with some ideas for a cool little space ninja vehicle. Here’s his Shin-nyu, a “long range infiltration and assassination craft” (shin-nyu means “infiltrate” in Japanese):
Be sure to click the picture for the full gallery — lots of great details on this one. Here’s the pilot of the Shin-nyu, Danzou the Reaper (Danzou is named after a legendary Japanese ninja):
Moko says he’s been playing Final Fantasy VII recently.
Here are his versions of Cloud (with awesomely spiky banana hair!!!):
And Sephiroth:
Microscale + steampunk = “micropunk” according to Scott Whitesell. Here’s his “steampunk dirigible air fortress” in microscale:
But I love Kevin Blocksidge’s arachnid steampunk walker:
Flickr user Duane Hess rolls up in a lovely six-wide towtruck:
Brickshelfer (and recent newlywed) wintermoog presents a larger-than-minifig-scale Dalek from Dr. Who:
Master mecha modeler Tac has posted several mecha inspired by pieces from Exo-Force set 7705: Gate Assault.
This one’s my favorite, mainly because green is my favorite color and I just got that alligator minifig (complete with rare green hair):
It’s been a while since Megan Rothrock posted her Tragon, which attracted quite a bit of attention last November.
Nathan Wells picked up a number of her latest creations, but missed my personal favorite, “Hemi” the hotrod racing turtle:
Richard McCarthy recently blogged a video parody of Spider-Man 2 titled “The Peril of Doc Ock,” from Spite Your Face Productions — the same company that created the LEGO Monty Python Camelot song.
Here’s one I hadn’t seen before, a parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey titled “ONE: A Space Odyssey” (because it’s only one minute long):
And here’s another, not to be confused with Darth Vader conducting the stormtrooper orchestra. (D’oh! Thanks Sean! Sorry Treehouse Animation!)

Flickr user jastermereel08 has been exchanging insults with the world at large through his 133t-speaking insult bot, but this little vehicle caught my eye this morning:
jastermereel08 identifies this as a boat, but I also think it works rather well as a speederbike, and quite possibly a rototiller. Whatever the case, it’s actually kind of cool.
Today is Bastille Day. Hurray for France!
Here’s Digger Digger Dogstar’s tribute to the French Revolution (via Brick Brick):
And for good measure, a French knight insulting some silly English royalty:
I really respect builders who can cross thematic lines with ease, and Chris Malloy is one such builder, active in the LEGO Star Wars, Castle, and Space communities. His latest creations include two great dioramas that reflect a slice of medieval/fantasy life.
Here’s Chris’ “Road Less Traveled” (I love the mushrooms):
And in this scene, a necromancer finally gets what he deserves:
