Andrew Lee assaults the Red Planet

With a pair each of jump troopers and exo-suits, Andrew Lee‘s Martian diorama has a lot going on.

Note the excellent use of diving platforms as legs for the yellow exo-suit.

Just keep telling yourself: you’re a boy, you’re a boy.

I kept myself awake on a recent international flight by watching movies, including — for the very first time — Some Like it Hot. Michael Jasper does justice to Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis with his latest pair of minifig characters.

Benlego braces for an explosive winter

Benlego presents a couple of winter wonderland scenes about to be interrupted by those rascally Power Miners:

And, finally, thanks to the new Castle and Pirate sets, minifigs can finally go fishing properly:

Brick Obama: LEGO Hope poster by Michael Fortress

As I type this, Barack Obama stands on the steps of the Unites States Capital with his right hand raised, taking the Oath of Office as the 44th President of the United States of America.

$Brick Obama \"Hope\" poster by Michael Fortress$

Like many LEGO fans, Michael Fortress wanted to mark the historic inauguration of president Obama. Inspired by the iconic Shepard Fairey “Hope” poster, Michael combined his graphic design skills with his passion for LEGO to create his own LEGO-themed Barack Obama “Hope” stencil poster.

Remembering what happened on Election Day a few months ago, I’ll remind everyone to keep the comments civil, please.

The Steamviper brings it

Personally, I’m a bit tired of the BSG Viper fad, but I had to make an exception here. V&A Steamworks cruises in with a Steampunk Viper and its full of nifty win. Check out those Duplo Pirate Pistols, Bionicle pieces and Harry Potter pieces! This thing is loaded with stuff that should never be in the same room together, let alone in the same creation. It workin’ though…really well.

Joan Miró burns up the art scene

Stefan shows the artist Joan Miró at work:

Sometimes, simplicity works best.

Back Bay Brahmins

The building was nothing special — a little Boston Brownstone I built mainly as filler for the zombie display — so I decided to have a little fun with the presentation.

Check out the full building if you must.

Brent’s MA-X Medical Android can’t save them all

Brent Waller‘s medibot arrives just a few moments too late to rescue an ill-fated minifig.

Don’t miss the gallery on MOCpages for more shots of this adorable mecha.

Battleship Yamato... in space!

Vincent Cheung spent just 10 nights to build this amazing creation from the anime series Space Battleship Yamato. The model measures about 150 studs long, that’s the equivalent of four feet.
