Nnenn built the fighter from the video game Radiant Silvergun. Great work as always, enough said.

...the greatest form of flattery?
Lately I’ve been having a bit of trouble getting myself motivated to build (mainly due to a highly messy Lego room). In order to remedy this I decided to make a couple of projects broadly imitating other builders’ styles. So…
The Iron Reich-esque “Pigeon” was my attempt to imitate Keith Goldman’s amazing Reich style.
NWAAF Gannet was an attempt to borrow stylistic elements from Peter Morris and Nnenn to make a starfightery starfighter.
Neither are quite “cover versions” but both were fun to try. I may even continue it to three…
The Ballad of Reading 060L
Well since Josh trumped me on “Lady” I better respond… Cale Leiphardt presents this lovely Reading B4a steam shunter. The stickers are very high quality too. I’m not sure I’ve blogged Cale here before but he has an impressive range of 8-wide steam trains made out of Lego. His style is quite original and highly successful.
Krush swings back to mecha
Dennis Coh, (aka Krush) unleashes a behemoth mech named Azoth, built in the bulky and armored style as his previous mechs. He claims to build lighter combat units next time; and so I wish you the best on your weight loss commitment, Dennis. Meanwhile, here’s Azoth:
Jon Walker’s Surak MkII
I had the pleasure of seeing an unfinished version of Jon Walker‘s Surak MkII at BrickCon 2007 last month. Despite being unfinished, its awesomeness earned it a rightful “Best Spaceship” award. Inspired by a Vulcan ship from Star Trek: Enterprise, the ship is 244 studs in length with a ring 62 studs wide.
“Lady” by Anthony Sava
I know, I know, I’m not the trainhead of our family but I felt the urge to post this. (Sorry, Tim!) Anthony Sava has really gotten into trains over the last couple of years and he just finished a beauty! Its a ten-wheeler built with some really interesting techniques. Check out that cattle guard for starters. I give you the “Lady”…
Porkins by Mike Crowley
Mike Crowley is one of the most talented builders in the universe and a really nice guy too! (Go to Chinese food with him sometime, its great.) He is also the only person I know who has gotten an official copyright on his screen-name (“Count Blockula”, all rights reserved by Mike Crowley).
Check out his latest: Porkins and his finger!
Not a weapon but a tool of persuasion
Tim Z. (Spook) is a master of microscale spaceworks. His most recent is a space cannon that blows up planets called the Kotu’laro Planet Killer, and I love planet destroyers…
Great concept and great color distribution.
Nathan Proudlove’s Batrod
As we saw last week, Nathan Proudlove doesn’t just build great steampunk and space creations. Here’s his latest, a “Batrod.” Building at this scale provides ample opportunity for lots of interesting details, but I like the bat-shaped side windows in particular.
Brent’s skies are full of Magic
As a fan just coming out of his “dark age,” Brent shows that it’s not the size of your collection that matters, but the size of your imagination. He’s been working on some interesting flying vehicles, including Song of Polina (above) and Hornfels Wealth (below).
Clancy’s Farm
Well, folks, I’m on a roll! Here is my first entry for the CCCV:
Just your basic farm, owned by troll. His name is Clancy and he’s a pacifist. Most trolls enjoy mucking about, destroying things, bashing people on the head, that sort of thing. Clancy likes peace and tranquility. However, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t enjoy a good ham sandwich now and then!
The Survivor (my first ApocaLego MOC)
Decades after the riots and wars caused by the Cataclysm, a lone man makes his way back to the city. It used to be his. He worked, breathed, loved, and lived here.
But that was long time ago. Many lifetimes have passed since then. He pauses beside Checkpoint Alpha. Built to keep the peace, it became a catalyst for violence and death. That’s all over, for now.
The wind trips lightly through the rubble and plays with the dead leaves. He peers into an old trash can, even the trash is gone…
