This Build-On Brick Mug seems well suited to hold your caffeinated beverage for those late-night building sprees.

How Lego fans see each other
I had an idea to make this picture having filled the shoes of each of the roles mentioned in it. I hope it didn’t offend anyone :)
Microscale viaduct
Tim Goddard’s microscale viaduct shows how something beautiful can be compacted into a tiny scene. The techniques used on the train engine, waterfall, and even the stone columns all add up to make this an enjoyable vignette.
Olive to see the day we liberate Europe from the Nazis
The epic Battle of Thermopylae from 300
Simon Pickard finished his massive scene of the Battle of Thermopylae that spans over 5 feet and features over 500 minifigures. Read more about this incredible 2-year long project on Flickr, and you can browse the work in progress shots on Flickr as well.

Registration is now open for the third annual Brick Fiesta that will take place in Dallas from July 4-7. This is a standard 4 day Lego convention with the usual activities you’d expect plus the weekend public exhibit. I will of course be there since I am a Dallas resident and I hope to see many of you there!
altBricks review
Many of you may have noticed some recent creations featuring leaves in colors that Lego doesn’t produce. They come from a custom vendor called altBricks, who sent me a sample of their products to review. The parts are inexpensive and are sold in bulk, but their reduced quality may be of concern to some. Check out the video review to see what I mean.
Scaled model of Charlevoix Public Library
Paul Vermeesch created a model of his local Charlevoix Public Library to be permanently displayed at the library. I very much like the combination of colors including the subtle usage of medium blue and dark orange.
This compilation of side views makes the model look like it fits in with the Lego Architecture kits.
A Lego Cuckoo Clock
Nick Tatar (tater-tots) built an ornate cuckoo clock with moving features, which you can see the mechanism in this photo. No doubt this would make a great conversation piece if hung in someone’s home.
Space cargo ship: The Boundless
The 5 days that Evan B. (Lego Junkie.) spent to build this space freighter belies its quality of construction. The distinct shapes and chunks of color on the cargo containers give this SHIP an organized appearance and thus doesn’t require much work on the eyes to follow its contours.
