Marek goes for some serious truckin’

Marek Markiewicz‘s Kenworth W900 Rotator tow truck has it all and is the best large truck creation I have seen. Beyond aesthetics and resemblance, the truck boosts a sick array of Power Functions features including lights, remote control with steering, pneumatics, and countless motors that drive even the tiniest detail. You have to see the video to be convinced.

Cole Blaq summons the water dragon

There are some times when you have to stare in awe at a creation; this is one of those times. Cole Blaq pulls off the difficult task of creating the organic form of the creature and uses transparent light blue elements to create effects that further enhance the model. It’s truly a sight to behold.

Conquering Atlantis

In this two-for-one post (and an excuse to blog my own creation), I highlight two new ways of having your way in the underwater world of LEGO Atlantis. First, my Harpoon Hunter is a combat mecha to fend off the guardians of Atlantis. The model was a result of my desire to test an incredibly useful joint technique I recently learned.

Next, Moritz Nolting (nolnet) depicts a vicious hunting vessel chasing a mersquid (the fusion of a mermaid and a squidman). I’m happy to see that we both agree on the use of certain plant life for the seabed, but Moritz’s view of the flora and fauna is obvious more fertile than mine.

I’m always amazed by the endless creativity that happens with Lego. Here, Chris Doyle builds a lenticular image, more precisely with cheese slopes. Check out the effect in the video below.
