Ever since the mutalisk buff, in Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm, this Zerg flyer has been massively popular in games. It looks like Mike Nieves (retinence) got the message and made his own to join his Zerg swarm. You can see more photos on Imgur.

Minh Pham (Tuminio) created a series of highly-detailed custom minifigs Iron Man suits including the Hulkbuster armor. You can see more photos of these minifigs on Minh’s Flickr photostream along with dozens of other custom minifigs from all sorts of influences.
Mass Effect 3 Reaper
Imagine Rigney built a Reaper from Mass Effect 3 with full posability and movable faceplates that reveal a light-up laser eye. I really like this shot that shows the massive size of the Reaper towering over a microscale city. Check out MOCpages for more photos.
Build your own Tumbler and The Bat [Instructions]
I recently discovered two excellent models of the Tumbler and The Bat made by a Taiwanese Lego fan who goes by velociraptor. What interested me were the photo instructions he provided for both models, which you can view on Brickshelf (click on photo below) or Pockyland (Tumber and The Bat).

Castle Koma
March is Marchikoma month in the Lego Flickr community, resulting in many variations of think tanks. Chris Maddison‘s variation on the theme is far out of the ordinary, and he attributes it to listening music from Howl’s Moving Castle while building.
A Syd Mead dropship in Lego
Sylvain Ballivet (iomedes !…) relies on shapes to create a dropship that looks functional. Each distinct white segment of the hull fits smoothly with the next to create the beautiful contours of this ship. The model was based on concept art by Syd Mead.
Ancient Greece was built brick by brick
Lasse and Anne Mette Vestergård displayed their Ancient Greek Lego layout at LEGO World in Copenhagen last month. This diorama is not only impressive for its size but also the architectural details of the Greek buildings that are seldom depicted in Lego. Check out more detail shots on Lasse’s Flickr.

2013 MocAthalon begins in March
The fourth annual MocAthalon will once again take place throughout the entire month of March on MOCpages. This is a competition where teams of 5 build up to 30 creations from 30 unique and whimsical categories announced at the start of the contest. Visit the contest group on MOCpages for rules and to sign up and form a team. You can check out last year’s MocAthalon to see what it was like.
Building dystopia
I’ve noticed a lot of futuristic military scenes made recently and I wanted to give it a go as well. I spent one day to make the olive green tank and two more days for the backdrop. I tried to emulate the urban decay style with what time I had, but my lack of experience working in this style limited the techniques at my disposal. After this I will pay closer attention to other creations in the genre. It’s one thing to build a model and another to make a scene for it. You can see the description video on YouTube.
Here’s a photo of just the tank, that was the easy part I’m used to :)
