We regularly highlight the works of Adrian Florea (Olog) as he is, in my opinion at least, one of the most interesting and talented LEGO modellers around at the moment. This particular piece, the gunboat “David Tucker”, is probably my favourite of his, the multiply curved shape is delightful and very ‘non-LEGO’. Furthermore it made Prince‘s `Cream’ pop into my head and that’s always a good thing.
Noddy depicts the clashing forces of Yin and Yang in a dynamic vignette. Check out the view from above, which cleverly forms the Yin Yang symbol (warning: may induce seizures).
There are two more similar vignettes created in the past. Check out Bruce’s Yin to my Yang and Moko’s White and Black.
Sometimes, it’s the description that makes me laugh. Here’s Doctor Sinister in his own words: “With the AirHorse beneath you, friends will marvel at your elegance and will envy your good fortune.” Ha!
Lots more pictures on Tabletown.
I believe smaller is better. Lots of small is even even more better.
Andrew Lee presents a whole lotta small with this pair of micro moonbase modules inspired by the Space Police theme:

LUGPol‘s recent contest is about cops and robbers. Check out Noddy‘s depiction of a police raid gone wrong. Now the bad guys have triumphed, leaving the good guys all tied up in an awkward position.

Wilson Raska displays two enormous dioramas on Brickshelf for the first time. The first is called the Crown of Asgard, depicting what looks like the landing of a fantasy-tech flying craft on a clearing by the cliffs. The most studding feature of this creation in my opinion is the dynamic crafting of the cliffs.
Next up is the Tauros Military Outpost. While the creation my appear as chaotic from the scattering of the light gray and dark gray bricks, what’s noteworthy is the overall structure of the work, which depicts an elaborate system of stone balconies.
