When we announced details of LEGO’s enormous new 76052 Classic Batcave set last month it almost melted our Facebook page. There hasn’t been this kind of buzz about a new set since the release of the equally enormous 76042 SHIELD Helicarrier last year. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so I Continue reading →

Monsterbrick has posted a whole series of lovable big-headed racers using parts from the latest large-scale “constraction figures“. First-up we have a cracking Jango Fett who could have driven straight out of a new Mario Kart-style Star Wars racer (now there’s a game I’d snap up tomorrow)… Other than the big-headed bounty hunter, my favorite Continue reading →

That’s a small part of the reason this “Salvage Buddy” by Carter Baldwin is so great. The big, blocky head with the derpy face is a perfect contrast to the intricate arms Continue reading →
I’m enjoying the lines of this little racer that Pēteris Sproģis built. He uses a collection of parts that don’t seem to work together but somehow mesh into a well-integrated whole. I want to drive this around my desk, making “Vroom, vroom” noises…
I’ve never been totally clear on what GARC stands for, but I know that this sub-genre of racing spaceships has incubated a whole bunch of awesome looking speed demons over the past year. Leading the pack on this lap is the Galactic F1 by Henry Oberholtzer (Agent WHO) With sleek lines and clean stripes, this Continue reading →
Today is the start of this year’s Dakar rally. This off-road race, for trucks, cars and motorbikes used to run from Paris to Dakar in Senegal, but because of worsening security in Northern Africa is nowadays held in South-America. Back in 1985, a Dutch team led by Jan de Rooy finished second in the truck Continue reading →
Jonas (Legopard) is rapidly becoming one of my favorite builders, not least because he demonstrates talent in multiple themes. His latest build is this excellent conversion of the Batcave into the quintessential look of the steampunk aesthetic — complete with Batman in a top hat and what appears to be a wood and brass Tumbler.

Okay Yaramanoglu (Oky – Space Ranger) built a lineup of mini-racers for Lego’s super heroes minifigs. Each racer is suited to the driver’s style (just like in Mario Kart). Which ones are your favorites?
Tim Zarki (Spook) consistently creates cool sci-fi models that also have an air of beauty to them. It seems funny describing an undersea salvage vessel as beautiful, but it is… Full Gallery
