Shaun Sullivan‘s “Dragonfly-Class Torpedo Gunboat” Egregious bristles with firepower. I think this ship would send my Fearless cowering!
Here she is with her crew:
And here’s one of the Egregious‘s rather awesome steam torpedoes:

Ototoko, a new Brickshelf user, has figured out the absolutely perfect scale — the right balance between detail and hand-held swooshability — for a mini/microscale Millenium Falcon. Thanks for the tip, reader Frank!
Manne Granberg sends a colorful UFO to scan a microscale farm:
Don’t miss the little farmer aiming his puny gun at the invaders.
BrickWorld 2007 is being held in Chicago this weekend (well, June 21-24). Photos are starting to show up on the ‘net, including the dedicated Flickr group and a large photoset from attendee Captain Redstorm.
As always at events, there are more pictures than we could possibly show here. Here’s a semi-random shot of a mecha:
The world-famous Mos Eisley diorama is at BrickWorld:

(I’ll embed a copy here when I find one.)
Brickshelf user Tilius has posted an CGI image of the new Indiana Jones minifigure.
New whip, new hat, possibly even some sort of new bag/pouch? Plus, of course, new head, torso and leg designs? I like. A lot.
EDIT (AB): ThrowMetheIdol.com seems to have been the first to post this picture, and the MTV Movies Blog posted a higher-resolution version the next day. Oh, and don’t miss the rather hilarious discussion of this photo on Flickr.
EDIT 2 (AB): Tilius seems to have moved or deleted the image, so I’m replacing it with the high-res version from the MTV Movies Blog.
Danny Rice sends a Protoss Zealot into battle against a trio of Zerglings. Note the squashed Zergling on the ground.
I think I’ve called Steve Bishop the “King of the Vignette Series” before. Well, if I haven’t, he is. Here’s another Joe Vig:
(While you’re there, don’t miss Steve’s now-complete Castle Occupations A to Z.)
Tom over at Masoko Tanga has a great interview with Ramón and Amador, better known as the dynamic Arvo duo.
All our MOCS are done by both, we take the initiative from a suggestion, an idea or a recollection so that we both contribute ideas…. In the Ford GT each one constructed a different part, but always together in permanent communication. This is the most important aspect; communication.
Head on over to Masoko Tanga for more.
