Flickr user legodrome‘s bold spaceship with its asymmetry and standout colors has caught my attention. The ship is divided into differently colored sections that seem like a random assortment of parts from other spacecrafts, yet the resulting design is convincing.
Brickshelf user Elex presents a sculpture of Miss Piggy on her motorcycle measuring 104 studs wide and 65 bricks tall. There’s a commentary page and a well-documented construction journal with detailed photos showing the building process. This is the most pink I’ve seen in a fan-built creation.
This bike, by Karwick, reminds me of one I had as a kid. I loved that thing and this one is pretty cool too.
That’s what this new Assault Cruiser from Pierre E. Fieschi provides. This space ship incorporates unorthodox angles and shapes, that make the viewer sit up and take notice. My mind struggles to find something to compare it to, until the red boom on front appears as a tongue, and the ship a blue dragon.
Pierre has incorporated some impressive building techniques, in achieving such a complex shape at a fairly small size. He also appears to have made use of a few “useless” parts, including feet from Knights Kingdom figures.
TKH takes to the sky with this creation based on the Manga and Anime, Strike Witches. I’m not an Anime fan, but I can appreciate this build. It’s quite unique, follows the subject matter very well, and looks awesome. What more could you ask for?

This loveable little time bot is a great idea. Like many of the creations on here, I want one. Shannon Ocean took a standard digital clock and built it into this adorably hard-core battle frame.
If you really want this little guy to wake you up every morning, it has been donated to Creations for Charity

NASA issued a press release yesterday stating that they have signed a Space Act agreement with LEGO. The partnership will focus on promoting interest in science, technology, engineering and math. At the launch event, NASA will actually be launching a shuttle built from LEGO bricks. It will be aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, on what is Discovery’s last scheduled mission.
“Partnering with The LEGO Group is a perfect fit. We have taken the excitement of NASA’s missions and coupled that with kids’ love of creating things with the iconic LEGO bricks,” said Leland Melvin, NASA’s associate administrator for Education. “These projects not only foster creativity but also instill in the young builders a real sense of the engineering and design principles that NASA uses every day. Fun learning activities like these can help inspire kids to become the next generation of explorers.”
Also our readers may be excited to hear that 4 NASA sets will be included in LEGO’s City line as a part of this partnership.
See the entire NASA press release here.
Many thanks to Vinny for the heads up!
Jason Corlett‘s cat beast from 9 is has a very recognizable pose with spindly legs and sharp mechanical parts. The tan contrasts nicely with the grays.
Well, Katie Walker has done it again. Not content with staying with her incredible patterns, she has to step it up and create more rooms with them. I have to say that I’m happy with the result. This room is very striking.
