Kevin Fedde‘s first microscale spaceships have a great color scheme. Well, anything green catches my eye, but they’re still awesome, from their angled bows to the blue engine exhaust:

Lucy joins our LEGO family
Those of you subscribed to my Flickr photostream probably saw that we’d found a stray named Sampson last week. Although Sampson’s story ended well (his owner picked him up on Wednesday), it made my wife and I aware of the dire situation many pets are in right now due to the economy.
Following a whirlwind of activity — partially explaining my sudden absence over this past week — Lucy has come to stay with us for a trial period. Naturally, one of the important stages is getting to know her surroundings:
Lucy is a 2-year-old Pekingese/dachshund mix rescued from a puppy mill by Ginger’s Pet Rescue.
I normally prefer to keep my “real life” outside this blog, but this picture of Lucy curled up in my LEGO was just begging to be shared.
More than one way to skin an APC
One sure way of attracting my attention to your LEGO model is making it look bigger than it is. HAZEL-Fantasy (HAZEL-頑張ります!) has created a version of the Gears of War APC that’s well-crafted, detailed, beautifully curved and small. I’m quite blown away. It’s also nice to see a model of an APC that isn’t the (very cool) one from Aliens.
Ganesha hovership rips through from the Matrix
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
Daniel Z presents the hidden fortress of an outlaw tucked in the depths of the forest. But the lurking evil is soon to be uprooted as two scouts have discovered the villain’s hideout. What will happen next?
Beef, it’s what’s for dinner
Vegetarians turn away, Andrew Lee uses a Duplo steak as the head of a mecha in a novel genre called Meatpunk, blurring the line between delicious and creepy. But for now, we can say that this awesome mecha is deliciously creepy, and it’s all suited up for some chopping action.
A Sliding Scale of Plymouth Rocks
Ed Diment and Ralph Savelsberg have built the Plymouth Rock in multiple scales. From Micro to Mega and everything in between, these cars rock!
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. This stunning creation measures 140 studs long (over 3.5ft) and is just a beauty to behold. Check out some of the work in progress shots here.
Make no mistake, when combined with Mark’s excellent photo-editing skills, you’d have to look twice to see that it’s actually LEGO.
And now, Mark will auction off this priceless creation starting at one hundred billion dollars. I’d buy it if I had the money.

Rob Dasnewten on Concept Ships
We’ve blogged Rob Dasnewten here many times. One of my favourite non-LEGO blogs, the accurately named Concept Ships, has gone one step further and published an excellent roundup of his work. Nice work, Rob.
The ship pictured above is Rob’s latest: the GP-21 Shrike.
