“Fanglyfuss” by Makaru, and “The Pit Scourge” by Breann Sledge (both via BioniBlog):
Guu Press has an interesting interview with Lars Lusenberg Nielsen, Senior Toy Designer at LEGO’s Concept Lab (via Klocki and Forum 0937).

Arvo’s Chestburster from Aliens
The latest LEGO creation by the Arvo brothers features a chestburster emerging from some unlucky person, complete with pooling blood dripping off of the sculpture’s base.

Space and Star Wars Links for May 19, 2007
I’m behind again, so instead of cluttering up the page and RSS feed, I’m going to post by theme again. First up, Space! And…Star Wars!
“Alien Life” by Felix Greco, and “Swallowtail” by Mr. Stenz:
In Star Wars news, the inventory for 10179 Millenium Falcon is now up on Peeron, and details are now available on FBTB about the Golden C3PO Contest (via LEGO Contests).
Tim Zarki‘s evolved X-wing (more from him in subsequent posts):
NickGreat’s Green Samurai
As featured here previously, master customizer NickGreat continues his “Colors of the Samurai” with my favorite color — and favorite minifig so far (via Klocki):
(Wow, feels like I’ve been gone forever, but it’s only been a couple of days. My bookmark folder’s bursting at the seams, so I’ll do a few “roundup” posts tomorrow to catch up.)
A bike, a car and a coupla trains
I’ve been pretty buildy lately so I’m just throwing a bunch of stuff here. The Hotrod and Bike are variants of misterzumbi and mijasper‘s models but the others are me having colourful fun. Also in my Flickr stream (may contain disliked language).
Building 10182 Cafe Corner
Here’s what greeted me when walked through the front door yesterday evening:
I’d finally ordered 10182 Cafe Corner last week, so I knew it was in the mail, but my wife understood how excited I was and set everything up so I could spend more of my time building when I got home. Yay!
Oh, and that’s why you won’t be seeing much of me around here for a couple of days. ;-)
Hien’s Hayate... better late than never
Brickshelf builder HIEN has come up with (well did come up with… it’s really rather late to post about) what I’d consider one of, if not the, best small scale WWII planes in LEGO. The entire thing is a big ball of complex genius and I, for one, am sold.
Is your name Mater too?
Steven Marshall‘s name isn’t Mater, but this little truck from Cars goes by that name:
(Via Paganomation.)
And don’t miss Dave Teague’s Lightning McQueen I blogged last year.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Matt De Lanoy demonstrates that something you made yourself is so much more meaningful than a bunch of plants you buy on the Internet. And besides, plastic flowers last a lifetime:
Dr. Crow and his Mechanical Creations
Forum 0937 member rupi puts Chris Bragg‘s arm replacement technique to good use with Dr. Crow, a mad scientist.
(If you don’t already know how to put a robot arm on a minifig, you can read the how-to on Chris’s old blog.)
Squieu’s Green Guy
Arpy’s Rediculously Pacifistic Sea Turtle apparently needs your vote
So, Josh and I have both been sick and/or busy, and even though we have a completed interview with Bionicle builder Breann Sledge, we haven’t had time to post it yet. I promise that we’ll post it very soon — sorry Breann.
To tide everyone over, here’s a little something for the current Bionicle Building Contest over on BZPower, by BioniBlogger Arpy (aka Patuara):
Arpy clearly understands that presentation is important, and he uses good lighting and a neutral background to showcase his turtle. I think many LEGO builders — including lots of Bionicle fans — could learn something from Arpy. Just sayin’. ;-)
