Freelance Technic blogger, Peer Kreuger (mahjqa) sends us this beauty. I agree!
While most great ball contraptions are the result of a collaboration between many people, mechanical mastermind Akiyuki has been so busy building GBC modules that he made a damn impressive lineup all on his own. The intricate modules have an almost hypnotic quality to them.
I don’t know what the Hurricane Liger is, or why it deserves a monument, but I’m glad Cade Roster (Apocalust) gave it one.
Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) has been fairly quiet lately (relatively speaking) so I was happy to notice this unusual fish sculpture in my photostream. I was then very excited to notice that it waggles. Too cool.
I’ve been somewhat less than diligent in my checking of Brickshelf lately, so I count myself very fortunate I caught the Eurobricks thread for this wonderful train station. Unlike art deco, which is lends itself nicely to LEGO bricks, the art nouveau style of Rochefort’s main station is quite a challenge to represent in LEGO. But Domino39 has pulled it off with aplomb. Beautiful work. See especially the droid hands making up the front canopy.
While I’ve dusted off my login credentials I’ll also take a moment to pimp something that’s never happened to me before: a LEGO event in the city I live. So I announce the BrisBricks 2012 show, running here in sunny Brisbane from Sep 29th to Oct 1st. Find more details below the logo.

As you may (or may not!) have noticed I’ve been on something of a hiatus lately thanks to IRL business and busyness. But sometimes there are things that force me to post. Like this awesome Gundam universe inspired, Z-Gog-E influenced mecha by FateHeart. I think the fingers could do with a little bit of work but the rest of RSu-02e Re-Gogg E is a layered and angled beauty.
I’m on a bit of a blogging hiatus lately thanks to a massive work overload, but when Moritz Nolting (nolnet) linked me to this LEGO tenori-on I absolutely had to break my break and share it. Some help to make your own can be found here.

Cale Leiphart just posted some beautiful train models (Pennsy K4 class for the trainheads). They’ve got all the bells and whistles (for some approximation of literally) and are sleek little beasts. But you really need to watch a video to do them full justice.
TR Brownridge (.Tromas) is hosting a contest over at the Starfighters flickr group. Entries close August First. Check it out.
It is always nice to see something new from Izo Yoshimura (Izzo’s Legostyle). Nicer still to see a collection.
