Andrew Lee‘s astounding Ganesha hovership from the Matrix is an instant crowd-pleaser. Having improved much from the old version several years ago, the new hovership combines new parts and building techniques in the best Matrix creation I have seen.

Fortress in the forest

Beef, it’s what’s for dinner

The Rusty Ferret cruises the galaxies
Creator of incredible works including the Invisible Hand and Apocalypsis, Mark Kelso unveils his latest masterpiece in LEGO – a variation of a concept ship from the Star Wars Extended Universe called the Rusty Ferret.

And now, Mark will auction off this priceless creation starting at one hundred billion dollars. I’d buy it if I had the money.

Micro Taj Mahal
Proving that you don’t need 5922 pieces to build the Taj Mahal, T-Brick recreates the famous Indian monument in microscale:
Using a white tire for the dome is very clever.
Via MicroBricks.
Glorious chunkification
