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.

Space Police Precinct 9
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:
Meteorological Flyers
While I’ve been busy attending literary events and the first Seattle Mariners game of the season, Brent was building more crazy flying contraptions.
First up, Professor Abraham Adams aboard Nimbus. Notice the electrical sparklies that apparently power this strange vehicle:
And his arch-rival, Doc Ed Jefferson (with son George) aboard Franklin’s Kite:

Cops and robbers
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.

Gargantuan dioramas
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.
New from Shell... V-Hover!
It’s called a flitterfly
In some of his recent creations, Mark Stafford shows us the creative value of some Bionicle parts. If it weren’t for this science fantasy flyer, I’d never have known those Bionicle wings to exist. Mark calls this the Flitterfly; I wonder what kind of sound it makes.
Cleanup on aisle 3
Jarek‘s first little dio depicts an uncanny accident involving a forklift and what appears to be a dangerous nuclear waste bomb. This can’t be good, but what is good is the forklift model, which is so nicely constructed.
Rocko gets whimsical and naughty
If you’ve seen some of the flip side of Rocko‘s castle dioramas, you’ll know he sometimes builds things that make you smile or laugh. Checkout this sled chase for example.
This next creation does not need any explanation, but it may be interesting to know that despite many efforts, Rocko can never make it past the K in real life.
News: Leaked video of electromagnetic device for NXT
Someone apparently snuck into LEGO R&D and managed to smuggle out video footage of a forthcoming electromagnetic device for the MINDSTORMS NXT. This is some pretty unbelievable footage:
We asked LEGO Community Team member Jan Beyer if this was for real, and he said, “We are not happy about this leak, and cannot confirm the authenticity of this video…”

Halo!
We probably don’t showcase Halo works here on The Brothers Brick often enough, but this one was crying out for attention. The moment I laid eyes on this masterpiece, I knew what it was.
If you don’t recognize it, you must have been living in a cave somewhere.
