Hrothingas Castle reaches Stage 4

Daniel Z has a very interesting project going on. The project shows the progression of fortifications on the same piece of ground. It has reached stage 4 and it’s gorgeous.

Lino has found some treasure in the woods...

…and it’s rusty! Lino is good at cars. Usually they are all shiny and tricked out. This one…isn’t. And that just might make it even better….

Gunrunner heavy combat mecha

A larger counterpart to a mecha we recently featured, the Gunrunner by Mark Stafford (Nabii) is armed with more deadly weapons. As usual, Mark uses unique pieces on his creation. Can you find the battle droid heads and a decorated brick with the Slytherin logo?

Vintage Photo of Yoda discovered!

This rare vintage photo shows Yoda during his brief stint with the French Foreign Legion. Prior to hiding away on Dagobah, Yoda thought that the deserts of Algeria might be a good place to lose himself.

LEGO Yoda Foreign Legion

The hot weather, ill-fitting clothes, and hazing by the other soldiers, made him decide to explore other options. He also wasn’t very good at taking orders….

Backward and upside-down

Jamie Spencer (Morgan19) sure knows how to combine minifigs and custom accessories in interesting — and creepy! — ways.

LEGO UNSC Pelican dropship and Warthog

Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) discovered that sand green is harder to come by than he expected while building this mini-scale version of the Pelican dropship from Halo, complete with an itty-bitty Warthog that fits underneath.
