Firas’ Audi R8 TDI Le Mans has an engine like 12 dwarves working
Firas Abu-Jaber has posted his best LEGO car yet — an Audio R8 TDI Le Mans:
The sheer level of detail Firas packed into his car is unbelievable, from the grill and headlights on the front to the spoiler on the back.

I think he’s come back for his noon feeding!

The Zipper’s Zu-Rama Elite gives me the heebie jeebies
BZPower member The Zipper recently posted this “hornet-like creature” that you probably wouldn’t meet in your great aunt’s garden — not that you’d want to!
The Zipper’s design also gives her creature a look akin to a Zerg Mutalisk — another nasty beast whose acquaintance you’d best avoid.
Thanks for the link, Joey!
Chris Deck, master mini modeler
It absolutely baffles me that we’ve featured the microscale creations of Chris Deck (Legostein) precisely … once! I realized this oversight when I headed over to the new FBTB to post my own microscale BSG hangar.
Chris’ latest microscale models include a Corporate Alliance Tank Droid and Republic Gunship from Star Wars:
As you might imagine, I’m particularly keen on his Foundry Ship from Battlestar Galactica:
Chris was one of the first micro/mini-scale builders I encountered — way back in 2001~2002, and his LEGO creations have always inspired me. For aspiring LEGO builders out there, Chris includes meticulous instructions for most of his models.
Check out all of his LEGO creations on Chris Deck’s LEGO website and on Brickshelf.
