I’m not entirely sure I like to blog my own stuff, but here it goes anyway. This is Gas Mask, a tactical smoke screen deployer:

Newblood: Tony
Lcwtony on flickr has only recently begun posting models, but those that are up are quite stunning – he can obviously build both mecha and other futuristic stuff. With a stunning presentation to boot, you’ve got a winner! Here is his F430 Spider:

Contest: Junker bandits build off!
And while we’re on the subject of contests, Mike Yoder (fantastic builder, by the way) has recently announced that he is hosting a contest: to build your very own junker ship! The full thing can be read in a post on flickr, but here is the gist to get you hooked:
Nomadic thieves steal parts from unattended spacecraft in far-off spaceports to piece together their fighters. They scavange battle fields in deep space for debris to integrate into their fleet. Their ships are lumpy, mismatched, rusty, and lethal! Don’t be fooled by the chewing gum and paperclips that appear to hold them together! They prove to be more than a worthy adversary in battle, having pirated the best technologies of all the races and factions that explore space. If you see them in the skies above you, know that you are in the wrong part of town!
So get your mind set on junker bandits, and build people! The contest deadline is January the 2nd 2007, so you have plenty of time to make sure YOUR entry is the awesomest of all! :-)

Concept car contest results and contestants of awesomeness
Just because I’m away people don’t stop building awesome space stuff! There has been a contest running over at classic-space (held by the by now familiar Lukas) that has just ended. It produced some spectacular models – check out Bram Lambrecht’s winning entry for instance:
First runner up, my fellow countryman Joel Larsson’s car, is also very interesting:
Make sure you see all the entrants and read the full story in the contest thread on classic-space!

Nelson Yrizarry’s Fate of the Arctus IV
You’d be insane to not love multi-genre-builder Nelson Yrizarry’s latest floating rock. Featuring arctic landscape, polar bears AND a mashed orange ship, it is sure to be something special!

A nice slice of mecha
Getting away from NWBC, now. Man, I wish I could have been there! The pictures show too much good stuff to take in at once!
Fradel Gonzales, commonly known as Slice151, have built a very nice pair of mechas that he call Chirashis. They are viewable in his flickr photostream, and are certainly fantastic in their black sleekness.

Jamie Neufield’s akira inspired bikes
So, Jamie Neufeld is just awesome. Proof? His akira-inspired bikes should be proof enough:

Cowboy Bebop-Hammerhead by Legoswami
Here’s the (sadly) only decent picture of legoswami’s Hammerhead. It is a ship from an anime called Cowboy Bebob. I haven’t seen the anime myself (to be honest, I haven’t seen any anime), but this is a nice piece of work regardless. Too bad the arm is unable to move.
It is modeled in a family of lego cad-programs. If you want to know more (it is a great way to build without using bricks!), a good place to start is ldraw.org.

Godzilla week!
It’s Godzilla week! Duane Hess shows that not only Moko can build giant, mutated, army-crushing reptilians:
One can, of course, argue that this is not my forte. I have to ask, then, if giant, mutated, army-crushing reptilians isn’t (science) fiction, then what is? ;-)
(Note: updates from me will be more regular from now on. I have finally gotten hold of internet again! Wee!)
