Brian, AKA Hound Knight, takes over no man’s land in this little vintage scene. I love the use of ice cream in this. Great Scene, Hound!

So get your rear in gear and be there! By the way, if you are attending, and you see some of us, make sure you say ‘hi’. See you there!
Dragon of the Golden Towers
Really good Micro-scale is hard to do, but Crises_crs did it. I love the dragon and the Bionicle baseplate fits perfectly.
The cutest smuggler in the galaxy
Tyler turns up the cute meter with this cuddly little craft. Dubbed the Smuggle Bug, it’s too innocent-looking to get inspected…..tricky, tricky.
Deep Conflict
Chris Malloy just posted this incredible battle at the bottom of the sea. It’s quite a lovely build. The lighting is exceptional.
Dragon of the Night
The first thing that struck me about this dragon was the neck and torso. Fantastic job there. Cameron G. knocked this one out of the park. He calls this “Midnight Dragon”. I call it freakin’ cool.
Blacksmith o’ the Crown
A timber-and-stone, house-and-shop combo is always nifty and being somewhat versed in the dark art myself, I’m partial to blacksmith creations. However, this one by Peter deYeule is especially nice.
Gazebo likes Classic Space...NomNomNOM!
This adorable bionicle puppet by Jason Ruff (AKA Dr. Mobius) is just that…adorable. It’s also hysterical. Check it out. Now.
LegoMonster just Mooooned you.
This Mesopotamian Ox butt is pretty awesome. I’ve never seen a Mesopotamian Ox but I think Ed Diment got it right. The whole Ox that is, not just the butt.
He built a pair of these for his Mesopotamian Ox Cart, which is pretty neat too.
Great things from Hong Kong
HKLUG has posted a ton of excellent pictures from the 2010 Anime Festival on their Facebook page.
You should definitely take the time to check them out. The pictures posted here really caught me eye, but there are many, many more.
If any of our readers have information on the actual builders, please let us know so that we can give credit where credit is due. Thanks!
I think I can lift the sky
This Liebherr LTM 1200, by Sqiddster is huge. Not only is it huge, but its very well-detailed. Not only is it huge and detailed, it’s also functional!
I think I need one of these around the house. It would be useful for pulling cars out of ditches and such things.
