Lego Monster builds Toruk from Avatar
Ed Diment (Lego Monster) proves his worthiness to the Na’vi by building the Great Leonopteryx known as Toruk. Wait, do they even have Lego on Pandora?

Bart De Dobbelaer is currently making a series of vignettes depicting a minifig called Pete’s encounters in the world of LEGO Atlantis. In this scene below, Pete learns that sushi may contain mermaids.

Endor bunker
I’m surprised to see a new diorama by Amado C. Pinlac, whom many remember as ACPin and a builder of massive Star Wars dioramas back in the days. The dense foliage in this classic Endor scene from Return of the Jedi is amplified by the clever use of a non-Lego backdrop, adding depth to the picture. Can you spot the Ewok who’s about to steal a speeder bike?
V2 Gundam with transformation video!
Torri Ares‘s Victory 2 Gundam not only transforms from Core Fighter mode to mobile suite mode but it does so with music synchronization. The included video is a must-see, featuring a time-lapse build, transformation process and more with stellar presentation.

This vignette by Larry Lars is full of knobs, lever, sliders and all sorts of control devices. The use of levers in grill tiles to make sliders is an ingenious technique, something I’ll have to steal for an upcoming creation.
A slice of Omaha
This diorama by Darth Yoda depicts a classic WWII scene done to good effect with just the right amount of rubble and mayhem. The transparent bricks gradient for the waves washing over the beach is pretty neat.
LEGO releases its internal color palette [News]
The Design Lab at LEGO has finally agreed to share the company’s internal color scheme with the public. In the chart below, you can see the official LEGO color names with their corresponding color numbers.
Of course, there are differences between the names that LEGO gives to their colors and what we fans call them. Nevertheless, this is still very useful information, especially to improve communication with The LEGO Group regarding the LUGBULK Program.
