Brickshelfer Flash posted a beautiful pirate ship on or around International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but I was too busy Yarrrrr!!!!ing at my wife to notice. Sorry!

Infernal indeed...
Steve Vargo‘s latest addition to his horde is an infernal rider — a Demon Major astride a hellhound. Nice.
You can’t get me, copper!
I think it’s been too long since we’ve had a great big animated GIF here on The Brothers Brick. Here’s LEGO biker Noddy‘s latest:
Flashy! Thanks for the tip, Peter Edwards!
Sandman minifigs by Shane Larson
The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman was an important comic book series published between 1989 and 1996. Shane Larson has emerged from a yearl-long absence from the hobby to recreate The Endless in minifig form.
And don’t miss Shane’s take on the moment that Percival Lowell thought he had discovered canals on Mars (via the inestimable Klocki):
Sandshark by Don Solo
Whether it’s Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, a little ‘shopping can go a long way toward improving the presentation of a LEGO creation. Don Solo puts his own spin on Adrian Florea’s entry in the “X-wing Evolved” contest, and then kicks things up a notch with a great backdrop.
Micro space station by Badgerboy
FBTB member Badgerboy (my dachshund offers to take him on anytime, anywhere, but I digress) presents an entry in the Mini Starship and Spacestation Contest.
(Via MicroBricks.)
Micro-suburbia by Steven Marshall
Steven Marshall is fast becoming one of my favorite builders. He’s not prolific, but what he posts is well-built and beautifully photographed.
While we’re at it, don’t miss his double-decker bus:
(Both bookmarked a couple days ago, but I’m forced to concede a “reminder-via” to the inimitable Klocki.)
Oh, I almost forgot: Yarrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
Adrian Florea puts useless parts to good use
Among the crazy parts Adrian Florea uses in his “MOC-12” fighter are:
- Big Ugly Rock Pieces (BURPs)
- Castle doors
- Lamp posts
- Street cleaner brushes
- Stretcher
I am most impressed! Check out the large size of this pic for more details.
Space Runaway Ideon
Izzo’s latest mecha is an update to his previous version of Ideon, from the anime series Space Runaway Ideon.
You can read more about Ideon on the sum total of all human knowledge, Wikipedia.

Look closer...
I noticed this in one of my Flickr feeds last month but thought that someone had just mis-tagged it “LEGO” (as sometimes happens). But then I saw it again in nnenn‘s photostream when I was blogging a couple of his recent microscale creations a few minutes ago. Knowing that nnenn only posts LEGO creations (well, mostly LEGO), I did a double-take. Yes, in fact, it is LEGO:
This is by far the best TIE fighter I’ve ever seen built from LEGO. Notice especially the detail between the upper and lower wings and the hinges used to angle the border around each wing. (According to nnenn’s description, the only non-LEGO is a few pieces of black tape to cover Technic holes and to create the stripes on the cockpit.)
