For the month of February, BrickForge is giving away an exclusive Trans-Clear Space Marine Armor Set on any order totaling $25 or more. You can see it in the imminent assassination of this Halo Jackal built by Kyle (Armothe).

Who says Tyrannosaurus Rex wasn’t a lovely blue and tan?
Not aurore&aube, whose excellent T-Rex looks like it’s just stepped from the Jurassic onto a modern city street.
(What color is tan on the official LEGO color palette?)
Thanks for the tip, -Disty-!
V-22 Phoenix
I’ve been a fan of sk-fi since the Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe game on the PC in the 90s. The genre seems to have its ups and downs within the LEGO building community. Fortunately, even when it’s not a popular thing to build, there are still gems to be found.
This new plane by Jon Hall suits me just fine. It looks just like it was envisioned as the future of aircraft by an artist in the 1940s. He’s also made fantastic use of the new clear dome piece for part of a canopy, even though I’m sure it barely stays in place.
Patrolling the skies in the Arcadian Gunship
Jon Hall‘s Arcadian Gunship is a fine creation that nicely integrates various curved pieces (such as these used for the cockpit) to create the seamless shape of a ski-fi aircraft. Even the landing gear is included.
Silvergun Superman
I guess you could call Peter Morriss’ latest model a space cannon. I’ll just call it very, very cool.
EDIT: I was too quick with my blogging. It’s an example entry for an Overcompensation Challenge.
Thumbnail head-check
The best thing I can say about this model of a Jelcz 315 crane truck by Maciej Drwiega is that from the thumbnail I wondered if someone had mistakenly posted a real truck to a LEGO flickr group. To my pleasant surprise and awe, it’s all LEGO. Apparently I’m not the only one who thought so.
Heralding the new year with the Wrath of God
Kevin Walter‘s Wrath of God battleship is the latest SHIP to drool over. Having read the builder’s profile and learned that he’s 19, I’m reminded of a quote by Soren Roberts on SHIPs: “because you’re not a man until you’ve built one.” I guess this means that most of us still have a long way to go, but meanwhile Kevin shows us how it’s done.
Stained glass with octopus design
Chris Doyle‘s stained glass creation features a complex octopus design. It incorporates both transparent bricks and plates for a more detailed depiction. I’m still left to wonder why an octopus?
Nebulon-B escort frigate
Measuring 4′ 6″ (172 studs), Steef de Prouw‘s Nebulon-B escort frigate is one massive and detailed build. It’s big enough to accommodate mini X-wings and Millennium Falcon on its docking tube. From what I’ve seen there’s no other Nebulon-B like it in terms of size and style.
This picture shows the grandeur of the frigate in space — an amazing sight to behold.
Daedalus landing
I’m still trying to recover from shock knowing that a 15-year-old built this. I thought Sven Junga‘s earlier Juggernaut had set the bar for what TFOLs are capable of, but this diorama from Stargate Atlantis clearly blows me away.
The Daedalus ship itself is already an impressive stand-alone piece. The texture of the hull nicely resembles the thick metal armor on many sci-fi spaceships.

LEGO entomology
I’m more into etymology than entomology, but I can still appreciate these lovely bugs by Peter Fendrik (pupipupi).
Check out the full photoset on Flickr for shots of the individual bugs in their beautiful black boxes. (This last sentence was brought to you by the letter B.)
