Bart De Dobbelaer is currently making a series of vignettes depicting a minifig called Pete’s encounters in the world of LEGO Atlantis. In this scene below, Pete learns that sushi may contain mermaids.

Endor bunker
I’m surprised to see a new diorama by Amado C. Pinlac, whom many remember as ACPin and a builder of massive Star Wars dioramas back in the days. The dense foliage in this classic Endor scene from Return of the Jedi is amplified by the clever use of a non-Lego backdrop, adding depth to the picture. Can you spot the Ewok who’s about to steal a speeder bike?
Blood in the Snow
Carter Baldwin posted a creation a few days ago that’s feeling pretty relevant to me right now. Here in DC, we’re expecting a snowfall of up to two feet.
While stuck inside, I’ve been splitting my time between building, and looking for things to blog here. Carter’s creation hit just the right cord for me. The fact that it’s well built helps too. This is a great looking cliff face, and the icicles (using some sort of aftermarket part) are a very nice touch.
It’s also the trophy for a contest!
Snapshots of grime, in a good way
BlueBard has been posting pictures of a whole series of his Cafe Corner style buildings over the last few days. They’re all excellent, but this Italian restaurant and repair shop stood out to me as doing an exceptionally good job of capturing daily city life.
It’s also worth checking out his bar and comic book store, which have a similar modern feel and plenty of interior vibrancy. He’s also on Brickshelf.
Sometimes simplest is best...
This simple design for a cell is flirting with perfect. I wouldn’t have thought to use the garage door pieces for a jail, but then I didn’t have to….Andrew Colunga did.
Leprechaun of the Endless Void
This freighter, by Soren, threw me for a loop. I didn’t realize it was micro-scale. Leprechaun is a very appropriate name, I’m thinkin’.

English Jacobean mansion by Anthony De Wynter
After emerging from a 20-year dark ages without LEGO, Anthony De Wynter recently finished this fantastic English mansion in the Jacobean style.
Anthony says the building grew rather organically — “I just layed out a floor plan which fitted the desk top and started to build” — in much the same way that old English manors did over the centuries. Read more and see lots of other pictures on MOCPages.
Frank finds Jesus
Shannon Young, who just announced the winners of his Vig/orama Contest, illustrates the potential answer to a question that someone might ask you on a street corner: “Have you found Jesus?”
Why yes, in fact, Frank has found Jesus.
You have to admit, it’s pretty funny. Via GodBricks, where Bruce has an excellent theological point about the fallacy of the question that Shannon is poking fun at.
V2 Gundam with transformation video!
Torri Ares‘s Victory 2 Gundam not only transforms from Core Fighter mode to mobile suite mode but it does so with music synchronization. The included video is a must-see, featuring a time-lapse build, transformation process and more with stellar presentation.
Zip-zap snip-snap
Nnenn is back at it again with this totally awesome recreational dogfighter: the ‘Zipper’. And it certainly appears zippy.
