A hearty “Moo!” to reader kastlekid for the tip.
Victor Vitale takes steampunk into the Old West with this teeny tiny airship airboat piloted by a pair of U.S. cavalry soldiers.
David Luna has outfitted his medics with a jeep modified to carry stretchers. I hadn’t ever seen one of these before, they really did exist!
He’s done an excellent job on this recreation. I’m really liking how he used the all-purpose BrickArms monopods on the stretcher racks.
Here is another picture, with stretchers in place:

Kevin Fedde’s “larger project” Josh alluded to has apparently come to fruition:
A group of survivors cling to civilization in the middle of a wilderness. More on Brickshelf.
Digger Digger Dogstar illustrates the peaceful transition of power between outgoing president George W. Bush and incoming president Barack Obama.
Remembering what happened on Election Day a few months ago, I’ll remind everyone to keep the comments civil, please.
Vincent Cheung spent just 10 nights to build this amazing creation from the anime series Space Battleship Yamato. The model measures about 150 studs long, that’s the equivalent of four feet.

Really, is there anything that needs to be said? Â It’s by Legohaulic, and it’s everyone’s favorite time-traveling DeLorean.

Any new LEGO creation from Steven Marshall is a treat, and his lovely new rally Mini Cooper doesn’t disappoint, from the custom stickers on the outside to the stripped-down interior (complete with webbing).
(I am, in fact, watching Top Gear right this moment, both on the TV and here on my computer. Ah, technology…)
Kevin Fedde (aka Crimson Wolf) built this snazzy little prop-job. He says it’s for a larger project. If so, we can’t wait to see the finished product. This part of it is pretty sweet.
This lovely Lamborghini Gallardo SE by Firas Abu-Jaber has all the qualities of the real thing, from air intakes on the front and the tail lights that wrap onto the rear hood to functional doors and a detailed interior.
(I hereby resolve to quote or allude to Top Gear whenever I blog a LEGO car. Or at least until I’ve tired of doing so.)
Daniel Siskind (Brickmania) recently posted this awesome M3 Grant Medium Tank from World War II, in British 7th Armored Division (“Desert Rats”) markings:
The handlebars on the wheels are a nice touch, and notice the tan Brodie helmet prototypes from BrickArms on the side.
By the way, this should come as good news for all of you out there who ask if the items we feature here on The Brothers Brick are for sale (they generally aren’t) or if we can send you instructions (we can’t), Dan has a wide range of custom LEGO kits for sale, along with instructions for many of his LEGO designs.
