Jason Corlett‘s cat beast from 9 is has a very recognizable pose with spindly legs and sharp mechanical parts. The tan contrasts nicely with the grays.
The next model in the LEGO Architecture line is the Rockefeller Center of New York. The designer Adam Tucker is going to donate one autographed copy of this set to Creations for Charity, which means you can get it before the holidays while giving to the children as well.

From now until early December, you can buy a custom Lego creation made by Lego fans from around the world. All proceeds will be used to give Lego sets to underprivileged children during the holidays. This is an annual opportunity where Lego enthusiasts use their creative hobby to support a great cause. As buyers, you can own the original creations from a diverse array of builders and customizers, several of whom are among the best at what they do.
To get started, visit the store on Bricklink to purchase a creation. Many of your questions can be answered there as well. Take a look at a sample of what’s for sale below. More items will be constantly added throughout November, so check often!
We accept creations for the fundraiser until December 1st. We also accept monetary donations at the store. For either form of donation over $50, you will receive an engraved Creations for Charity 2010 keychain assembled and glued by LEGO Certified Professional Sean Kenney and topped with a real gold-plated Lego brick from ChromeBricks. I sincerely hope you’ll take part in this event and help us set a new record. You make a lot of kids happy. Merry Christmas!
No, we’re not blogging Lego pieces. Take a second look at these parts by Matija Grguric and you’ll see that these are much larger versions still made from Lego bricks.

Lee Jones (Doc069) recreates this iconic scene from the Matrix of Neo’s final battle with Smith. The scene is complete with 100 copies of Smith looking on from the rain-soaked backdrop.
Meanwhile, check out Lee’s 300 spartans. You’ve always wondered what that would look like, right?
James Zhan (pirate_cat) built the scene of the Chilean miners rescue highlighting the Phoenix capsule and the emotional crowd. The rescued miners even sport their stylish Oakleys!
Mark Kelso (Amhakia) shares with us his vision of Dracula’s castle inspired by the classic black and white horror films. One of the standout features of this shot has got to be the visible rays of light piercing through the window. The interior is disheveled without being messy. On first glance, you may think it is simply a shot of Dracula in his castle, and that is indeed the magic of this creation! Look closer, take your time and see the details, the finishings and the staging. There is no doubt the clever meticulous attention to detail within this build!
The one occasion where I don’t hate mosquitoes is when VampireBohrok builds one out of Lego. The technique of using flexible hoses to simulate the legs is really effective.
Steef de Prouw (mediocre) presents a lesser well-known ship from the Star Wars universe based on the Harbinger. The hammerhead shape is as distinctive as it is hard to build, featuring techniques such as half plate offsets to replicate the narrowing tips of the hammer shape. You can read more about this 122 stud long SHIP on MOCpages.
