tiberium_blue is fast becoming a popular name on Flickr with his recent noteworthy creations. This interesting scene of Dr. Monochrome’s Monodome is his latest crowd pleaser (which he hopes will please the judges of the Brickscience Contest as well).
The racer mechs started by Legohaulic have inspired various versions created by other builders. The simple and sturdy design of the basic frame (building instructions) allows for much diversity to these runner machines, as you can see below.
Mechs from top left created by: Legohaulic, Proudlove, Nannan, arpy , peterlmorris , Legohaulic, -: Evo :-, Hase0, Pyreƒyre, and legovaughan.
But that’s not all folks, there’s certainly a few more that you should check out. See them all in the flickr Racer Mecha pool.
Former Master Model Designer Mariann Asanuma breaks onto the scene with this very nifty Champagne bottle.
Built for the opening ceremony at LEGOLAND California’s Pirate Shores, this bottle is designed to “break” into five pieces as well:
Aaron Andrews lets something in with this nicely detailed vignette. I really like the posing of the red minifig in this one. Aaron has always been a talented builder, but he has been definitely improving on his fig posing lately. Cheers, Aaron!
Mike Crowley, aka Count Blockula, has done it again. But this time he does it on the farm.
Check out his Hen and Pig, as well.
Dean Hofmeyer joins the RAMM revolution with his Hauptpanzer main battle tank:
Walking tanks are always full of win in my book, but look at all those “cheese” (1 x 1 x 2/3) slopes!
See more pictures on Next-Gen and read background info from Dean in his blog post on YSAB.
(Sorry guys, I can never top “Yonder Splendid Assuagement of Bloviation“.)
The new LEGO Pirates fan community at ForbiddenCove.com is certainly inspiring some wonderful pirate-themed LEGO creations lately!
One of my favorites so far is “Castaway t’ Neverland” by SlyOwl:
Brick-built creatures populating the desert island include a gull, hummingbird, crabs, and monkey. Note the horns for breakers and the microscale ship in the background, as if off in the distance. Brilliant!
Carlos Méndez sends word of this cool R2-D2 he motorized with a Power Functions Motor:
UPDATE 2: 2009 LEGO Power Miners sets are now available from the LEGO Shop online.
UPDATE 1: For those of you coming in from a search engine, we’ve recently posted pictures of the 2009 Power Miners box art.
The first pictures of the 2009 Power Miners theme are available. Please note that these pictures may be very preliminary and the sets themselves have a high chance of undergoing major revisions, and gosh are they needed.
Enjoy the random City impulse set.

In August LAML Radio has taken on an ambitious project and interviewed 28 amazing builders. Here is the final round-up post, featuring the following builders:
In the meantime, James, the host of the show, has put together a CD of all of the August interviews. If you have enjoyed LAML radio and would like to show your appreciation for his contributions to our wonderful LEGO community, you can purchase the CD for only $12.
As a bonus, here is a news podcast recorded live this past Sunday where Dan from the LEGO® Model of the Day blog and I join in to discuss the most current LEGO news. Click here to listen to this fun little number.
Over the recent years, we’ve seen numerous great spaceworks from Nnenn on a weekly basis, but we have never seen them all at once. Now, Nnenn presents one image that captures most of his works, showing what a truley amazing and prolific LEGO space builder that he is.
Note: all of these models are dismantled, since it would take an overly massive collection to sustain so many in-tact creations all at once.
