It is a well established fact that lime is ever awesome. This makes Andrew Lee’s (onosendai2600) Poison Arrow even more ever awesome. Built for the closing-soon Clunker and Alien Mecha Contest.

It pleases Her Majesty.
Truly, sometimes a picture just…comes together. The lighting is right, the ambiance set, and it just works. Such is the case with this shot from Katie Walker:

Action!
Hans Dendauw (Tigmon74) has done a great job of capturing a moment with this diorama. The chunks flying look great, and I absolutely love the tumbling speeder bike and driver. He also seems to have used a blacklight to give the trans neon bits a bit of a glow.
And you thought actors could be moody.
We’ve all heard it, right? Actors declining roles for “creative differences”…right. Creative differences. On the actor’s part? After this fantastic brickfilm from mobiledeli, I’m personally more inclined to say it was the director with the issues. This one certainly has them.

Lego & Lyrics
Wihan (WhereverPanda) presents a gallery of *almost* black and white Lego photos inspired by song lyrics. There’s a sense of mystery and intrigue in each shot brought on by skillful lighting and framing. See them all on Flickr.
Thanks for the tip Keith Goldman!
The Empire Strikes Back Lego chess set
As follow up to his A New Hope chess set, Brandon Griffith (icgetaway) presents another beautiful set that captures the key characters from The Empire Strikes Back. I really like the Hoth themed game board, and the fact that it also acts as storage for the pieces is another plus. Check out the full details on Flickr.

Finding Fortune
There are many things that draw me to this lovely little creation. The waterfall just jumps out, and I love the not-square base. Posted by David Leest, recently out of his dark ages. I’d say he’s coming out of those dark ages quite strong!
Trainting
Tony Sava (SavaTheAggie) makes his LEGO trains look like a painting in Stirring the Giants. The framing, in particular, is excellent.
One rail, one redux
I do like me a good redux. I could never afford 6990 but if Moritz Nolting’s (nolnet) version was released today I’d be saving all my pocket money for as long as it took.
Cabin fever
Tom Simon‘s diorama of an abandoned log cabin is the first of its kind that actually uses sideways cylinders to create the stacked logs effect. I also like the idea of using dark tan to simulate dead leaves on the trees. The chimney looks like it’s about to collapse any minute, and the horse skeleton completes the touch of decay.
