I love cheese. So it would seem does SlyOwl — Cheddar, Red Leicester and Edam in particular.
Titled “Cheddar Gorge,” check out the various interesting techniques SlyOwl used to show liquids in motion throughout his creation:

A-23 Brimstone Heavy Attack Ship by rexcarnage
Brickshelfer rexcarnage‘s fighter is both curvy and swoopy. The combination makes for a very swooshable little ship.
Thanks for the tip mastergongfu!

I am not my LEGO collection
Adam Hally is both an excellent cartoonist and LEGO builder. His LEGO creations often have an artistic inclination, as his latest little scenes demonstrate.

Vitus Barth’s Shadow World
Vitus “Tony” Barth says that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time inspired his latest LEGO creation. Regardless of its inspiration, Vitus’ mirroring of light and dark introduces a bit of chiaroscuro to his LEGO world.
Buy LEGO: 2008 Indiana Jones sets now available from the LEGO Shop
The main LEGO Shop page on LEGO.com hasn’t been updated yet, but the new Indiana Jones sets are now available from the LEGO Shop online.
You can get all four sets in the Indiana Jones™ Classic Adventures Collection. In fact, if you buy them from that link, you’ll be helping us pay the bills. ;-)
And now for a celebrity endorsement.
(Josie the dachshund is the celebrity, not me. She’s in a book.)
Destroyer of very small civilizations
Look familiar? It’s a microscale version of Nannan’s Armageddon tank! Both Nannan and I were fooled when we saw this come up in our contacts’ photostreams, so kudos to Adrian Drake for such an excellent itty bitty Armageddon!
Check out several more “Micro Fanboy Creations” in the full photoset on Flickr.
So, what’d you get for Christmas?
My lovely wife apparently went out at the last minute and found both 7620 Indiana Jones Motorcycle Chase and 7621 Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb.
Naturally, I spent Christmas morning savoring the build:
Oh, and I can’t wait to play LEGO Indiana Jones next summer on my new Wii:
I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas — I sure did! :-D

Retro Spaceman by Kotaro Ono
Kotaro Ono’s blog How Many Studs to LEGOLAND? is one of my favorite LEGO blogs, where I can keep up with everything that’s happening in the Japanese LEGO fan community.
But Kotaro, who also goes by Earl_0 online and はくしゃく (“Hakushyaku”) in Japanese, is also a really great builder. I featured his retro space creations way back in March 2006.
His latest retro space creation takes advantage of the two-piece goldfish bowl helmet from the Sandy Cheeks minifig in one of the new SpongeBob SquarePants sets.
Custom Justice League Minifigs by Julian Fong
Julian Fong is a minifig customizer I wasn’t familiar with until I saw these beautiful Justice League figs in his Flickr photostream. From Aquaman to Zatanna, Julian’s figs are just plain gorgeous.
Castle Blondel by Gork
One restriction of the Colossal Castle Contest is that you’re limited to three pictures per entry. Many builders post a second folder of pictures to show off additional details and angles, but no such luck with Gork‘s entry, a castle called Blondel. Here’s hoping Gork will post a lot more later, because I certainly like what I see so far — especially the bridge and the wooden part of the structure.
Don’t miss all three of Gork’s CCCV entries.
