Brides of Dracula

This scene, by Teruel211, actually creeps me out. I think it is the feeling of suspense and the sense of anticipation among the vampires. Notice there is virtually no gore in this? Many people try to build a scary scene by including blood and gore everywhere. That never works for me because the action has already happened. It’s the suspense that gets to me.

Wasp Warriors

Sean and Steph Mayo tap into the hive mind and summon these stunning creatures. Look but don’t touch. They don’t look happy.

Maschinen Krieger “Neuntöter”

Greebly and bulbous. I think that accurately describes this ship by Robert H. But that gives you no concept of how striking this ship really is. Check it out. It’s cool.

Lab Tracks

Brian Williams (BMW_Indy) is definitely not a LEGO purist and likes to do things his own way. With results like this I can see why. Whenever I see something new by Brian I always find myself questioning my own rules.

I’ve never seen The Wild Wild West TV show that inspired this creation, but I have to admit I’m tempted now. The idea of a lab on track is pretty cool.

Midnight Dragon

This beast was built Jacob Unterreiner and has a very striking and menacing feel to it. I love the color scheme, as I’m an old school Blacktron fan, but this whole build just screams evil.

Necrophobic

I bet you thought that Cole Blaq built this, huh? He didn’t…which means the trend is spreading. That’s fine by me as long as the bricks turn out as cool as this one. Ken Robichaud is the actual builder of this creepy coffin brick.

Mr. Bean’s LEGO Mini

Adam Grabowski goes for a drive with an icon in this Mini. We will forgive him for painting one piece, since it turned out so well. Now he needs to build Teddy.

The cavalry is coming

Apparently this cruiser by Vince Toulouse has been around for awhile, but I missed it and it has some rather cool components. The overall shape is one that we don’t see a lot, using pieces that almost everyone refuses to touch…the giant floor pieces from the old Sports sets. But they look really good here. Also I really like the cavalry flag on the side. Very nice touch.

Hackfish by Stafford

Mark Stafford took a break from his real job and posted this lovely gem of a space ship.

Blow the man down

Ricardo Silva summons up a storm in this whimsical scene. The fig posing in this great and the use of white dinosaur tails is perfect. Also I absolutely love the expression on the cloud.

Windy Afternoon

Sparrows

These sparrows by Schfio are extremely well built. At first glance they look real. It blows me away when a builder can capture such a great look in something so small.

Many thanks to Bruce for the heads up!

QWERTY

Matt Armstrong crosses another great build off his list with this typewriter.
