Prolific builder Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj) recently posted two indoor scenes of a rather morbid nature.
In Green Murder, a dastardly deed is done in the arboretum:
No less chilling is this scene featuring Jordan’s collection of LEGO animals — the Taxidermist:
LEGO Pirates fan site ForbiddenCove.com has just announced the Whale of a Tale Contest. Build an outlandish tale on a base no more than 32×32 studs, though there’s no restriction in height.

Sebastiaan Arts has built a working forklift using the LEGO power functions system. He’s used the infrared remote control to allow him to both drive and steer the forklift. Not only can he drive it with the remote, though, he can raise and lower the fork! Make sure you check out the video of it in action.

Here’s a trio of Tim’s AT-OT walkers (actually, a different design from the one above) in action on the Outer Rim planet Felucia:

Tekka Croe has built a beautiful new space fighter. He’s called it the “MX-01 Firefli”, and while I’m not sure why it’s not a “Firefly,” I really enjoy the shape of it. It looks more like a tropical fish than anything else to me, considering all the bright colors and spines. It’s also quite heavily armed, as you can see.
Nathan Simkiss (Arterin) has recently posted a fantastic array of micro scale space creations. He’s managed to make clever use of several parts to create great detail at a small scale. I especially love his “freighter/tanker thing,” below.
