Brickshelf user midnightcat built a detailed kyomachiya townhouse complete with a fully adorned interior. The technique of building the roof with a combination of cylinders and tiles create a good effect.

What’s the difference?
Q: What’s the similarity and difference between these two camels?
A: Both are dead and one is skinned!
Thanks to Sam W. (-infomaniac-), I’ll never be able to look at Lego camels the same again.
Central Station in Barsinghausen
Brickshelf user legorianer built a minifig scale version of an old train station from the early 20th century. The roof technique is simple and effective. Check out the entire gallery for construction photos.
Two for the track
In Clover
This bike, by Karwick, reminds me of one I had as a kid. I loved that thing and this one is pretty cool too.
SadBot is Sad.
One Piece at a time...
Though I am not familiar with the subject, this articulated master-piece by Mike Nieves really strikes a chord. It never ceases to amaze me how much personality can be portrayed with these little things we call LEGO.
Rawwwwrrrrrr!
48 wheels, remote controlled and with a very big gun
Our occassional technic reviewer Peer Kreuger (mahjqa) doesn’t just know about technic, he’s a dab hand at building it. Drawing inspiration from the Metal Slug computer games and his own omniwheels he’s created the crazy remote controlled Metal Grudge. And to really take it to the next level he’s used camera cars to get action shots like the one above. Much more fun than a computer game.
A story of synergistic collaboration (and how a tree was built)
Aaron Amatnieks (akama1_lego) and I were spending a productive day in a LEGO chatroom yesterday when he showed me a tree he’d been working on. I absolutely loved the concept and went off to build one for myself.
I’ve been thinking about gum trees a bit lately so had some ideas to try out showing Azz the pictures and getting his feedback at each stage. We then both went off building and not saying much until resurfacing with much improved gum trees. And gave ourselves a pat on the back.
Today I posted some more refinements and a breakdown and Azz just featured his latest in an amusing diorama (warning! may offend the easily offended). This sharing is one thing I love about the LEGO community. Bouncing ideas from one another to make it all better.
Thus ends my story.
Owl. By Jordan.
This is such an adorable little feathered guy, he was just begging to be posted. The combination of cuteness and presentation really does it for me. Well played, Jordan, well played.
It pleases Her Majesty.
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:
