You don’t have to be a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist to make your own Arc Reactor. In fact, this one by H.Y. Leung (Mr.Attacki) with a built-in glow feature is pretty convincing.

Hylian Shield: +5 to Awesomeness
Fans of the Legend of Zelda will immediately recognize the Hylian Shield, a must have when crossing through the Goron Mines. Remi Gagne (Bolt of Blue) has masterfully recreated the Twilight Princess version. The shield emblems are spot on and brilliantly executed.
Chapter House Window by Projecto Construir
This window by Projecto Construir is mind-blowing and the level of detail is outstanding. It has been a long time since I have seen a build of this caliber. This creation is absolutely a work of art.
Bruce H., from Classic Castle says, “Projecto Construir is a Portuguese social welfare association that was founded with the support of the University of Oporto. President Romão Santos and an army of volunteers, including local LUG members, set up events at schools, hospitals and other settings where disadvantaged kids take part in large construction projects.” You can check out their homepage or their Facebook page for more information.
Many thanks to Bruce for pointing this out!
Well Polished railway
I’ve previously blogged many of the components of Maciej Drwiega’s Polish railways display layout, but this four year project was assembled for the first time recently in Skaerbaek Fan Weekend. I’ve never made secret my love of Eastern European industrial design, so this very much tickles my heart.
RAILBRICKS 12 released
The industrious RAILBRICKS team recently brought us yet another issue of their excellent magazine. This time it features layouts, and is thus probably more relevant to non-train builders, with its demonstration of landscaping and detailing. Highlights in this issue include articles on the excellent layout of Alban Nanty, the collaborative layouts of Mike Pianta (scruffulous) and me, and a community spotlight on Hong Kong’s Legend Bricks. Once again the whole team have done an excellent job on this lovely free resource.
Invert Island
Can you Believe that the first photo below is a color-inverted image? That’s because the actual creation is built out of an inverted color scheme! It’s one of the recent innovations by Siercon and Coral.
Echo Base Run!
Bored at work? Take a break and solve this maze by Dave Benson. In this custom Star Wars board game, the goal is to reach your opponent’s corner by moving based on the dice roll. It’s simple and well-presented.
RELEASE THE HUNDS!
I am very happy to announce that the month of Ma.Ktober is upon us, and as a result Ma.Ktoberfest has begun! I would like to invite all LEGO maniacs out there to partake in what I like to call, the Ma.Ktoberfestivities. Come on over to the Ma.K Bricks group to peruse the goings on. This year we are hoping to get a bunch of participation of all sorts. There are no requirements or rules, except to have fun and build something based on, or inspired by, the Maschinen Krieger Universe. For those that aren’t 100% sure what exactly that is, there is some good links and background info in the group. So whether you feel like building a small vehicle, hardsuit, or even a large diorama…we would absolutely love to see what you come up with. This isn’t a contest, but a month long build challenge with the hope of inspiring a tonne of fantastic builds!
Anyone that would like to see their creation on the month-end poster, please submit a single clear photo to the entry thread. (You must join the group to do so). Once again, Official AFOL Poster creator, Pascal has offered to do the poster…so please go easy on the poor guy and don’t put too many antennas and dangly bits on your models ;)
Also be sure to pick up your official Ma.Ktoberfest t-shirt. The fantastic design was done by my buddy Victor Vercesi. You rule V!
Huge thanks, high fives, and hugs to my other buddy Stijn for designing the rockin’ announcement poster…I highly suggest that everyone surround themselves with awesome graphic designers like I have done :D
Izzo’s VEX-8000
Mecha Master Izzo brings us the VEX-8000 (Versatile Equipment) industrial type mecha. Izzo’s creations are so stunningly brilliant, it’s difficult to even describe how amazing they are. This one does not disappoint. Pay special note to the mecha’s “gun” which appears to be more of a massive industrial drill tool. I would give anything to see this in person one day.
Ride Armor X4 Is One Sweet Hardsuit
I love mechas and hardsuits. Gregory St’s Ride Armor X4 is a real standout hardsuit. Evolved from his previous version “Fatboy,” the current version has wonderful proportions. Gregory St packs in a lot of great design into a small creation, which, trust me, isn’t easy to do. Maybe it’s just me but this creations screams “Buzz Lightyear Mech” to me. To infinity and beyond.
