Delian-class Frigate by Brenden Wilson
Louie Louie!
Jared Burks collaborates with another great customizer, NickGreat, to create the Devaronian Mos Eisley Cantina denizen Labria (nicknamed “Louie” during production):
4 8 15 16 23 42 = LEGO Lost
Jon Furman combines cool post-processing on his photo with an excellent rendition of the scene in which Locke discovers the Hatch in J.J. Abrams’ “Lost”.
Kinkaku-ji by Jumpei Mitsui
Jumpei Mitsui and Sachiko Akinaga have earned international reputations through their participation in the LEGO King Championship TV show. More importantly, they’re both well-known for their great building skills, as Jumpei demonstrates with his recreation of Kinkaku-ji, the “Golden Pavilian” in Kyoto, Japan:

Papercraft Star Wars Minifigs

Click the pictures above to go to instruction pages on Piro model. The instructions will be in Japanese, but they’re numbered and easy enough to follow visually.
Here’s what the templates look like:
Have fun, and let us know if you try making any of these.
One night in Bangkok
BS user Pongsit has posted pictures of an enormous LEGO Suvarnabhumi Airport. Not sure if this is fan made or official but it’s certainly very impressive.
EDIT: Hippotam from Kkocki.blox.pl has tracked down some more information here (in Polish and English)
Mini Star Wars Vehicles by TsoAutTmo
Builders like Moko and Chris Deck are well known for their mini Star Wars models, but occasionally other builders do something original with an otherwise well-worn theme.
Here’s TsoAutTmo’s X-wing:
