That’s what Fedde’s (Karf Oohlu) newest creation is all about. It’s a mono-tracked tank killer that’s great for speed but sucks at making turns.

Keith Goldman builds Logan’s Run
Keith Goldman‘s latest massive diorama presents his interpretation of the science fiction work Logan’s Run. At this scale, architecture really plays a role in capturing our attention. I am particularly drawn to the terraced vines and the sloped facets of the background structure.
The individual shots of the diorama are also unique, where each scene captured a separate story element. You should check them out on the Flickr set. And as a rare glimpse, Keith shows that there are boundaries to his creations, proving that he is “a man among gods, and a god among men.”
From the unknown chasms of space
…comes my latest creation, a ship called Broken Regret. I strove for an ominous and organic looking craft by incorporating curves and spikes (best viewed on black). The result is something that looks much better in real life than on photos. This is due to the curves of the ship distorting our perception of its true shape and size (I had to do a lot of lens adjustments in Photoshop). Hopefully you’ll see what I mean when I post more pictures and a video in the upcoming days.
On another note, I want to mention that there are some incredible sellers on Bricklink who sent me last-minute parts to complete the ship at practically no cost. I’ve encountered many of you over the years, you know who you are, thank you.
Army men assemble!
When Lego released 7595 Army Men on Patrol, Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) saw it as his calling to build something with them. And built he did. This diorama features several cool green vehicles contrasted nicely with the dark tan base.
What happens when you mess with the physics of it all?
Sam W. (-infomaniac-) answers that question with a brick rendition of the folding city from Inception. He built the model in three scales to achieve three levels of forced perspective. It’s like the dream in a dream thing but with Lego, yea.
Defeat at Gaza from DareDevils of the Desert
There’s no better builder than Brian Williams (BMW_Indy) when it comes to recreating scenes from Indiana Jones with Lego. This vignette depicts the failed British assault on Gaza in 1917 from The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones. The smoke effect is the best I’ve seen at this scale.
Definitely not the lesser Wheevil
Mark Neumann’s (SnowLeopard) Wheevil quadruped mecha is a beast. Those menacing eyes and hydraulic cylinders on the legs are quite striking. Oh yea, and there’s that gatling gun too.
A tough choice
Peter Shutter shows us the pharaoh’s dilemma.

Check out more great scenes such as this Star Wars spoof on Peter’s Flickr set.
Post Apocostrich!
I’ve seen quite a few humorous uses of the ostrich head, but this robo-bird by Stuart Delahay is taking things to the next level. The backstory on MOCpages is quite hilarious as well, you should check it out.
Fire truck from Fahrenheit 451
Bartosz Kacprzyk (the oneman) creates his version of the fire truck from Fahrenheit 451. I love the fitting retro-futuristic style of this vehicle and the plow, which I think makes the creation stand out. The warm lighting also adds to the presentation; we don’t need to see a pile of burning books to know that things are about to heat up.
Imperial probe droid scouts the surface of Hoth
Phil Memmer built an UCS-style model of the probe droid, making good use of the quarter saucer pieces. The detailed mechanical arms are simply fascinating to look at.
Where little green aliens come from
Flickr user Fat Tony 1138 enlightens us.
In case you’re wondering, the stubby alien in the last frame is not a Lego minifig.
