Truly, sometimes a picture just…comes together. The lighting is right, the ambiance set, and it just works. Such is the case with this shot from Katie Walker:

And you thought actors could be moody.
We’ve all heard it, right? Actors declining roles for “creative differences”…right. Creative differences. On the actor’s part? After this fantastic brickfilm from mobiledeli, I’m personally more inclined to say it was the director with the issues. This one certainly has them.
You can find more fantastic brickfilms at Bricks in Motion!
Finding Fortune
There are many things that draw me to this lovely little creation. The waterfall just jumps out, and I love the not-square base. Posted by David Leest, recently out of his dark ages. I’d say he’s coming out of those dark ages quite strong!
It’s a....robot. Congratulations!
I really, really want to make a joke about where robots come from, but I just can’t do it. This robot-tyke is far too cute for something like that. Titolian, it’s adorable.
How many mini-figures can you fit into a Beach Scene?
The answer, clearly, is a lot. I Scream Clone‘s goal was to build a fun scene to entertain his Series Two collectible mini-figures. I have to say he succeeded. I personally like the wave action going on there.
Thanks to Firas Abu-Jaber for the suggestion!
Ghamorel, Infernal Artificer
Morgan19 is an amazing customizer. His presentation on all of his creations is quite impeccable. I particularly like how each figure has a back story or something to accompany and enhance it in some way. Ghamorel is a good example of this.

He survived Troy for this?
Nothing quite brightens my day like a little bit of Greek history. And since Jojo‘s creation’s do such an excellent job illustrating European history, it’s no surprise that his rendition of Agamemnon’s homecoming is so lovely.

Would you spend five weeks in a balloon?
Cruisin’ in the Coupe
Peter Blackert (lego911) builds fantastic vehicles out of brick. This is simply a fact. His latest creation brings us back to the Roarin’ 20s with a brilliantly executed Ford Model A (1927) Deluxe Coupe ‘Grandfather’ design. More photos, including his mini-land scale Grandma and Grandpa, are found in his USA Holiday 2010 set.
Recognizing your dragon: The Gronckle
While we wait patiently for How to Train your Dragon to come out on DVD/Blu Ray, Taylor Baggs (Unitronus) helps us out by teaching us to identify the various species of dragons in and around.
The Gronckle, seen below, is a fairly small, portly dragon that prefers masticated rocks as projectiles.
