Prettier than a dollhouse
Inspired by the houses of the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, SoftaRae constructed a very elaborate facade of the Victorian architecture that measures 15 inches wide and 2.5 feet tall.
Starfighter contest on Flickr
The Starfighters group on Flickr is hosting a “Show Us What You Got” Starfighter Contest. The rules are simple: “build an original starfighter, and make it awesome.” The prizes include custom models from Peter Morris, who’s also among the panel of judges. The contest runs until March 31st, so there’s plenty of time to perfect an entry.

BattleTech mechs and more
New Brickshelf user lichtblau recently posted a few creations photographed and shared for the first time. lichtblau emerged from his dark ages after stumbling across Brick Commander and feeling the urge to create BattleTech designs with the more modern array of bricks and building techniques.

New LEGO board games to be released [News]
LEGO has announced the release of six new board games in the second half of 2009 where players construct their own board and dice, adding a level of fun where one can play a new version of the game each time. The UK and Germany Toy Fair Press release have more coverage on these new products, but unfortunately the US will not be seeing them anytime soon as the games are to be first released in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, UK and Ireland with more countries to follow in 2010.
One game, Rameses Pyramid, involves children building their own pyramid, complete with treasure buried inside and Egyptian sphinxes. Players have to collect crystals to climb their mini-Lego character up the pyramid and claim the prize – the king mummy.
Escape the infection
Andrew Colunga shows that the black fantasy virus is capable of infecting an entire planet, and now the last survivors are desperate to escape the doomed planet in the last remaining spacecraft. Oh the horror!
If you’re wondering why there’s been an abundance of horror action on the blog over the weekend, you should check out the conclusion of Keith’s You Control the Action Contest, ending tonight. Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to cast your vote for the crowd’s favorite award.

Ambush on Mecha Nature Trail
RoninLUG puts out a diorama depicting the ambush of a squad on their way through Mecha Nature Trail. There’s plenty of insurgents buried in the depths of the greenery waiting to strike the unsuspecting caravan. I tried to find them all, but it was like finding Waldo and all of his friends.
Red planet horror
Prepare for an overdose of red as ChiefLUG takes us to the red planet for some horror action. It turns out we’re not the alone (pardon the cliche), and the last band of marines are losing ground at Olympus Mons, surrounded by nasty alien creatures both big and small. Warning: clicking on the pictures will lead you to oversaturation of red.
Don’t pick the flowers
This is the second time this weekend that we’ve shown flowers leading to deadly consesequences. Look at what Megan Rothrock has created – an overly abundant pink diorama with an insect decapitating a poor space explorer who picked the wrong flower. Lesson learned, don’t pick flowers.
“Bubblegum” biped
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mech with pink highlights and a crotch cannon, but I guess one exists. Check out Alex Fojtik‘s Satyr Class Biped, aka “Bubblegum.” Note the clever usage of the pink fence piece on the missile packs.
Jumper crafts Phobos and Deimos
My latest space creation goes small for SCI-LUG‘s recently ended Small Starfighter contest. Like several of the entrants, I’ve come up with a transforming design that capitalizes on the symmetrical quality of the bubble cockpit to include the third form of an atmospheric flight configuration.
What astonds me the most is the explosive magnitude of the participation in this contest that drew 84 entries. See for yourself in these three pages of well-done creations.
