Even though we Americans threw off the shackles of monarchy more than 200 years ago, we still find something fascinating in the pomp of a royal event, like the wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton today tomorrow in London. Justin Ramsden made a name for himself with his Amy Winehouse sculpture last year, and even got a job as the youngest-ever Model Maker at Legoland Windsor as a result. His latest sculpture honors the wedding couple.

I don’t build castles, but I can still recognize a cool one, when I see it. Take this one by Cheesey Slopes, who is apparently new to the AFOL scene. I’m fond of the incorporation of a cliff into the structure. It reminds me of both Neuschwanstein and Gondor.

I would be if I saw this serpent built by Five X Five. The fluid form and deadly pose are spot on, but my favorite detail is the use of the flag piece for the snake’s forked tongue.
But I’m sure he’ll be content with Jay Hoff‘s Star Wars diorama made from 30,000 bricks and 388 minifigures. The walls of the hangar are so convincingly realistic that I thought they were cardboard cutouts at first. The shuttle looks like LEGO’s UCS set, which really puts into perspective how large the setup is.
Jonathan Robson’s custom life-sized LEGO helmet reads comic books so you don’t have to. A USB drive pops into the back of the helmet that plays the audio content from comic books. You can see the full feature on Engadget.
Thanks for the tip [Dablackcat]!
Théo (Titolian) has built a fantastic little robot. The fishing poles for legs add a great alien bug feel to this creation. He’s also named it in Morse code, which I’ve long forgotten.
Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner were my favorite Looney Tunes as a kid, and I was totally excited when I saw this superb rendition this morning. You have to admire the tenacity of a coyote that fails every time, in every scheme, to try and catch this roadrunner. My experience with real roadrunners is that they’re just as confident without the coyote around, too.
Annie Dimet completely captures the essence of the character with this build. It’s appropriately cartoonish and maintains enough of the LEGO look. It’s fantastic. Bravo, Annie!
Thanks for the heads up, Tommy!
Here’s one for those that are Christian and those that just like good LEGO dioramas. By Chris Wunz (wunztwice). The olive tree is pretty much holy by nature.
