ZCerberus sure knows how to build a nice castle village scene. The elemental monster is also a cool creation by itself. But, what really caught my attention on this MOC is the ingenious use of Power Functions on the scene. Both the moving tentacles and the leaning tower are what makes this creation really great.

Buildingxyz (Michel Labelle) built his vision of the future home from LEGO. This is mid 21st century family house in California. I really like the house design and how Michel also equipped the whole interior with futuristic furniture.

Mike Yoder (M.R. Yoder) has always been one to typically keep us up to date with progress shots of his builds. Case in point, his City Ruins project that Andrew had featured a week or so back. Well Mike pulled a fast one on all of us when he posted his VogStar this past Monday. That ship was quite frankly brilliant in more ways than one and came out of nowhere. But now he totally upped the ante with this Chinese Imperial Flagship which is built on the same general hull frame. The mixing of reds & oranges works so wonderfully well.
This is a fantastic addition to his Chinese Imperial Navy, again previously featured by Andrew.
With both this and the VogStar, the aft section in particular is designed exceedingly well!!
Zane Houston has done a rather hilarious Super Heroes video for a contest on FBTB.net. I could watch this over and over…I especially like when the Hulk starts whooping Superman’s behind :-D
I also like Zane’s camera rig that he made for the video shoot :D
I find myself wanting to to grab a café au lait, a good book, and sittng on the patio outside Carson Hart’s French Café. True Carson’s building has no rocket engines, pew-pew lasers or cyborg co-pilots, but the amount of other awesome details more than makes up for it. I have always appreciated the amount of brilliant detail that builders put into such creations, and Carson certainly does have a lot of fantastic finishing touches.
Oh wait, maybe there is a cyborg co-pilot onboard…
Well our starfighter contest is coming to a close today. I have never been a huge stickler for deadline cutoffs, so as long as it is August 1st somewhere on Earth then you are ok to post an entry. As I type this it is 5:30am in American Samoa, so that leaves you all roughly 18.5 hours to build and photograph :-D
We are fast approaching 70 entries at last count, so you certainly have not made it easy on us judges!! Stay tuned for the results…although I am not going to promise that the winners will be decidely quickly, we have a monumental task ahead of us!!!
