Alex Schranz (“Orion Pax”) follows up his Batcave with a more nostalgic version. But alas, if you remember the 60’s, then you probably didn’t live through them.

Dirt
Dirt, by Jade Wisniewski (Taz-Maniac), has a perfectly matching name for what it is: a dive bar in the future.
The use of what look like solid looking spaceship hull and portholes simultaneously communicates the future, but also that the occupants don’t really want outsiders to see in. There’s also a nice bit of interior detail.
Another space surface creation, the Pit Stop, is also worth checking out.
Tiger Moth and Cobra spaceships by vinn
Kurt Vinnedge (vinn) has posted a few great spaceships this week and these two are well worth sharing. The first is this A-8 SSIC Cobra, which features a very functional looking cockpit and sensor/weapons array as well as lovely angling up and back toward the engines.
The second, the ASSIN-9 Tiger Moth, is an equal beauty with similar livery, but its highlight for me is the way he’s built the engines in a ‘V’ going off to the sides from the cockpit. The most subtle, yet effective, feature is the little bits of red peaking out from under a radar dish covering the cockpit. Angry beady little red eyes.
If you want to see these in person, Kurt will be taking them to Brickfair near Washington, D.C.
You rang?
This Victorian phone by Matt Armstrong is a thing of beauty and a joy forever…or something like that. I normally hate phones, but I’ll make an exception for this one.
Big Apple Diner
I love the nostalgic feel of this rendition of the stereotypical New York City train car diner. The esthetic that Nathan has worked out is perfect. I want to go in and order a burger. Gotta love those curved windows too!
Lego Indy 500 cars
Elementary.
I love well-crafted interior and I have been a Sherlockian since I first read the stories as a kid So this scene by Peter Reid grabbed me in a big way. The use of sand-red for the walls was an excellent choice and the room simply oozes Victorian charm. I haven’t gotten one of the Sherlock collectible figs yet but I can’t wait.
One grand Teuton
This mecha is quite impressive. I am not usually in favor of rebuilds but this one by Lord Dane is the bee’s knees. This one has quite the intimidating aura going on.
Canberra Brick Expo Aug 6th-7th (final reminder)
Just a reminder that BrickExpo 2011 kicks off in Canberra next weekend (6th and 7th Aug). So if you’re in the neighbourhood head along.
This will go live in my absence so please direct any queries straight to the Brick Expo team.
LEGO dragon breathes real fire
After building a creation that uses real water, Aaron Amatnieks (akama1_lego) sets out to do what no one has ever done – to use fire in a Lego creation, and I’m not talking about flame pieces. Kids, don’t try this at home!
It brings flowers
I was in the mood to build a mecha, and I wanted to add a slightly disturbing twist to it. More description is on Flickr if you’re curious to find out what it’s doing.
10199 Creator Winter Toy Shop back in stock [News]
Seasonal LEGO sets can be hard to find if you miss the narrow window in time when they’re available, so it’s nice to get a chance to pick them up again if time got away from you the first time around. Thankfully, Amazon.com seems to have found a batch of 10199 Creator Winter Toy Shop
Sure, we’re four months away from Christmas, but I doubt you’ll get a chance to complete your LEGO holiday town again, so pick them up while they’re still available online.
