Guy Himber has been teasing us with Work-In-Progress shots of these two for some time now. Now that they are finally finished, he is showing them off with his standard flair. Check out the Riverside Fire Chief and the Supercar!

Crimson Permanent Assurance
When I first saw the Crimson Permanent Assurance section of Monty Python’s Meaning of Life when I was a kid it simply blew my mind. This Cafe Corner standard version by gotoAndLego does the same.
It’s a pretty imposing structure and fairly close to the appropriate architectural features for the building. I would find this thing crewed by elderly clerks driven mad quite intimidating if it drifted past my office.
P-72A “Skyhammer” gunship by JonHall18
I can’t get enough of Jon Hall‘s dieselpulp fighter aircraft, and his latest is my favorite so far. The stickers are all custom-designed by Jon, with a pinup girl that’ll get the blood pumping in even the iciest flyboy’s veins. And that is some serious firepower sprouting from the fighter’s nose.
Classic X-wing
Flickr user marshal banana presents one of the best minifig-scale X-wings I have seen. None of the details seem forced; even the complex windshield design looks well-integrated into the ship. Check out more great Star Wars creations on the builder’s photostream.
The Old One awakens
Mr. Xenomurphy pays homage to H. P. Lovecraft with the summoning of an Old One from a grim mansion. Click through the picture for a story and more shots of the build.
Master Chief’s helmet looks good in Lego, but won’t stand headshots
Ben Caulkins (Benny Brickster) created a faithful rendition of a gray version of Master Chief’s helmet from Halo. If you’re like me, you’d like to know if it’s wearable. Yes, it is.
Max Reebo and Harry Potter CubeDudes entertain the masses
Speaking of FBTB, their CubeDude Vignettes Contest is now complete, and has yielded some nice results.
Larry Lars captures Jabba the Hutt’s musical entertainers in his vignette:
Andy Grubb deservedly takes home the first place prize, though, with this awesome forced-perspective view of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy pursuing the golden snitch in a game of Quidditch.
Check out all the great entries on FBTB.
Get TBB on your iPhone with the Bricking News app [News]
Ever wanted a native iPhone experience for browsing LEGO news and creations on The Brothers Brick? Well, now there’s an app for that. The Bricking News app — developed by FBTB’s Ace Kim — lets you access FBTB, Eurobricks, Brickset, and The Brothers Brick, along with an easier way to view LEGO pictures on Flickr.
Check out Bricking News in the iTunes App Store, and download it for just 99 cents.
So, I guess this was inevitable...
…but it’s a great idea nonetheless. Joel Baker decided that the rare white Boba Fett needed a white Slave 1. So, unlike most people on the internet, he decided to do something about it, rather just whine about how Lego doesn’t cater their individual whims. Way to go, Joel. You’re the man!
Now I want to see more monochromatic Star Wars ships.
Iain goes Back To The Future
Iain Heath celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first “Back To The Future” movie with builds of Marty McFly and Biff Griff Tannen…from the second movie. However, built with Iain’s usual flair for the awesome, these dudes invoke the true feel of the characters. Well played, Iain, well played indeed!
Let the movie quotes begin….
It’s Miss Piggy!
Brickshelf user Elex presents a sculpture of Miss Piggy on her motorcycle measuring 104 studs wide and 65 bricks tall. There’s a commentary page and a well-documented construction journal with detailed photos showing the building process. This is the most pink I’ve seen in a fan-built creation.
Strike this
TKH takes to the sky with this creation based on the Manga and Anime, Strike Witches. I’m not an Anime fan, but I can appreciate this build. It’s quite unique, follows the subject matter very well, and looks awesome. What more could you ask for?
