Sean and Steph Mayo have issued giant scorpions to their minifigs. After all, why not? Everyone rides horses. If you want to make an entrance, nothing says “Look at me!” like a giant scorpion.

Warrior Bot is here to take you down
Sometimes the smaller builds are the most impressive. This arena warrior, by Frenald McRackel, is quite striking. It’s a very solid, cohesive build. Everything just works together perfectly.
A force to be reckoned with
Andrew Somers shows off his skills with his latest build, the Python. With this tank, he is ready to take on the world.
NASA’s newest Mars rover, Curiosity, created in LEGO form.
Tim Goddard has built an excellent model of NASA’s rover, Curiosity. The details on the rover itself are incredible and the martian landscape jumps right out at you!
The Brick and the Ooze
Cole Blaq has some serious ooze going on in his latest creation. I have to say that it is rather mesmerizing. I really like the way the black is creeping across, down and around the white brick.
All the lovely angles
This space fighter by Jake has a refreshing feel to it. Not only is it loaded with some really nicely-played angles, but the builder has elected to show the studs. With so many builders going for the studless look, it is nice to see someone embrace the studs.
Armoured ECM vehicle
Karf Oohlu just rolled out this bad boy and it is covered in greebly goodness. While I really like the use of the dump truck bed as the armored shell, it is all the bits on the top that make this something special.
LEGO CT-37 from Disney’s TaleSpin
Curtydc has built a nifty version of Don Karnage’s TriWing Terror from TaleSpin. It is fun-looking plane and has a rather SkyFi feel to it. I also hear that it is quite swooshable.
The Carnival is in town!
Matija Grguric takes us back to the Wild West with this fun carnival scene. But the crown jewel of this diorama isn’t the crowded carnival atmosphere, the bank robbers or the western buildings, though all of those are very nice. What really makes it stand out is the fact that it is powered. Who doesn’t like motorized dancing girls?
Akai Shiro
AC Pin has developed quite the reputation over the years. Mostly known for highly detailed Star Wars dioramas, he takes a step on the wild side this time around. This particular scene depicts a gorgeous red Japanese castle and the surrounding grounds. It is built with exceptional attention to detail. But I was very impressed with how the infamous raised baseplates were melded into the landscape in such a way that they almost go unnoticed. That is a hard thing to do.
A Day in the Bazaar
Dark-Alamez has created a nifty market scene. I especially like the fountain and the mottled walls. One does have to wonder what that smirking guard on the wall is up to though.
LEGO Scania 142 Wrecker
Bricksonwheels has a well-deserved reputation for building beautifully crafted trucks, cars and motorcycles. However, even the best trucks break down some times. “The Mighty Thor” will be on the scene in no time. This wrecker includes all the details that we’ve come to expect from this builder. It includes side hatches, safety cones, three-stage stinger and a crane. The chrome bits are always nice too.
