With a small assortment of parts Fedde (Karf Oohlu) has created a microscale castle that is both adorable and also quite detailed for it’s size. You gotta love efficient parts usage like this!

Things that make you go “Hmm”
This “Fortune Demon”, by Mihai Marius Mihu does that to me. Its odd, creepy and I’ve never seen anything quite like it.
While you are at it, check out “Alien Laboratory”.
Express your thoughts, coherent or otherwise, in the comments.
MOVING OUT by Pierre E Fieschi
I had posted Pierre’s wonderful ship last week, but this is simply too beautiful of a photo to not do this update. The only thing edited in this shot is the background and engine glow. The glow of the ships lights is achieved by using electroluminescent wire on the interior of the vessel.
Hola, I’m N.O.R.A!
Jack McKeen (madLEGOman) has built quite a spectacular mecha for the FBTB Mecha Madness Contest. This gargantuan machine of Victor Freeze’s would come in very handy while battling Batman…I also think it would work well for freezing mammoths! And what icy mecha would be complete without the ability to hurl pissed off polar bears??
There are a lot of superb entries to this contest, so please be sure to head over to contest threads to vote:
Vic Viper by .Jake
This early in the game, there has been no shortage of fabulous Vic Vipers posted for this year’s NnoVVember, but seeing Jake’s this morning had me saying “WOW”!
The top view is particularly impressive…it has such a brilliant balance of fragility and deadliness to it’s look. (perhaps a bit more on the fragility side).
Be sure to check out the full set for all the details.
After my failure of participation to Ma.Ktoberfest, I wasn’t really feeling NnoVVember…but seeing everyone’s awesome submissions these first few days has totally put me in the mood!! :D
LUG Brasil’s expo in São Paulo (Nov 10-11)
Every once in a while I will be reminded of a Lego event in a country where we may not have too many readers of the blog. Although it may not be pertinent to most of you, news like this is a good reminder of the world’s widespread love of the brick. So, if you’re in São Paulo this weekend, go check out LUG Brasil’s second expo at the College Benjamin Constant.
Full-size LEGO Lord of the Rings Sword – “Sting”
I am a sucker for full-size LEGO replicas of medieval weapons. Having one be something as iconic as “Sting” is even better. Cole Edmonson built it and I want one.
Death by Proudlove
Nathan Proudlove needs no introduction to any LEGO fan who hasn’t been living under a rock for the last decade. The man is not only an incredibly nice person, he is a fantastic builder as well. Currently he is working on a series of vehicles based on the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Death just looks so sleek and menacing, I had to blog it.
Check out War and Famine as well.
Rush Album Cover Mosaic
We have posted a lot of album covers over the years but this particular one, by Isaac Mazer is one of the best. The fact that he was able to get the perspective so perfect is amazing. It is so good that I didn’t realize it was actually a mosaic…incredible!
Many thanks to Katie Walker for the heads up.
Novvember 2012 is upon us – prepare for Vic Vipers!
Just a quick reminder that NoVVember 2012 is now upon is. Help celebrate the late nnenn’s love of the Gradius Vic Viper by building your own (or more!). Post your entries here and Pascal (pasukaru76) will perform his magic at the end of the month.
Keep an eye out for further updates once the East Coast of the US recovers a little.
World-class Sci-Fi from Adrian Florea
In my opinion, Adrian Florea is one of the best Space (which in LEGO terms means Science Fiction) builders around. He’s no stranger to this blog, but his latest two creations are absolutely top notch. Adrian achieves fantastically coherent shapes in his models which belie his abundant use of unusual parts and complex connections. The Vendret Interceptor (below) is built around a core of four tricycle bodies integrated so seamlessly as to be nearly indistinguishable.
And the Dropshell mech shows the impact that careful use of color blocking can have. Look closely at this model also, and you’ll spot oddities such as suitcases and Star Wars headresses, among other things.
Jar Jar better watch his back!
It would appear that Brian Kescenovitz (mondayn00dle) has similar feelings on Battle Droids and Jar Jar Binks that I do. Good to see that they will get their just deserts!
It also must be noted that the alien is constructed with some unique top notch techniques!
