Inspired by Alex Eylar and Tim, brilliant young builder AT94 (Flickr) tries his hand at cinematic photography — to great success, I think.
I’m most intrigued by the hood of the car poking into this picture:

Steaming into the depths of space with Legohaulic
For a LEGO fan theme heavily influenced by Jules Verne — whose work includes From the Earth to the Moon, Around the Moon, and other space-faring 19th-century novels — there’s rather a dearth of LEGO steampunk creations set somewhere other than the surface of the Earth.
Tyler Clites fills that gap with his great set of vehicles. That’s a great, atmospheric photo (above), but the ships are worth a look on their own, too:
See more photos on Brickshelf or MOCpages.
Nash’s Mobile Medical Unit to the rescue!
With a full interior and removable roof for access, Nash‘s Mobile Medical Unit is just the kind of LEGO model I’d love to see as a set.
Hobo4Evar’s M6 Cobra
This little spaceship by Hobo4Evar is very pleasing to look at – I love the light gray/dark blue/trans orange colors, and the cockpit windshield is wonderfully done.
SlyOwl stings...Tse-Tse style
The ball-shaped cockpit on this Tse-Tse scout, by SlyOwl, is incredible. I should know, I tried building one today. I failed.
My LEGO fire engine is ready to be apocafied
I’d always admired the great fire engines by Steven Asbury and Ralph Savelsberg, so when I built a fire house for Zombie Apocafest 2008, I knew I needed a fire engine like theirs.
The fire engine seats four and includes various compartments for their equipment. See more photos on MOCpages or Flickr.
Chrispockst visits a wasteland...
Chrispockst has created disturbing and disgusting wasteland full of toxic spills, rotting corpses and creepy mutants. Surely I’m not the only one reminded of Half-Life and Half-Life 2…
Frakking skinjobs!
Just in time for the premiere of the new (theoretically final) season of Battlestar Galactica, Ochre Jelly treats us to a batch of miniland-scale characters from the show, including Six, a toaster, and Baltar:
But my favorite is the cigar-chomping Starbuck:
Check out all of Ochre Jelly’s Battlestar Galactica creations on MOCpages while you watch BSG tonight.
And in case you missed it last week, OJ’s teaser trailer:
Registration now open for BrickWorld 2009, June 18-21 in Chicago [News]
Registration is now open for BrickWorld 2009, the annually held LEGO convention in Chicago. Last year the event attracted around 300 attendees and dedicated 20,000 square feet of ballroom space to display their amazing LEGO creations. For only $50, you can register for this four day event hosted at the luxurious 5 star Westin Hotel & Convention Center.
You can check out photos from previous years’ conventions on the Flickr pool. Also, you can read my last year’s overage of the event on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Of course, I’ll be planning to attend this year’s BrickWorld, and I hope to see some you there!

Brian’s D-9 Hydra unfolds into adorably mean, green fighter
Speaking of Brian Kescenovitz, his latest fighter fits within the constraints of the SCI-LUG Small Fighter contest on Flickr.
The fighter must fit within 14×14 studs and no more than five bricks high, but check out how the nacelles unfold in flight:
The dark green is gorgeous, and I love the use of Midgard Serpent heads as cowlings on each nacelle.
