I’ve been fascinated with the lost island nation of Atlantis since I’ve seen depictions of it painted on the covers of lurid pulpy paperbacks when I was a kid. LEGO builder bartsbrickworks just might be attuned to my same watery wavelength as evidenced by this neat steampunk submersible. Dark green and gold give this streamlined submarine just the right look. If I’m not mistaken, the webbed fin is the sailfin from the Baby Dimetrodon set from 2001. That takes me back to a time when, while technically an adult, the fascination for Atlantis (and dinosaurs) had never left me. I suppose an adult with an entire LEGO room and no kids in sight may still garner a love for all things adventurous. Thanks for the fond memories, Bart!

Terribly Terrorizing Tiny Dragon
The word “dragon” should naturally conjure an image of a fire-breathing, terrorizing great lizard, its eyes filled with the promise of impending doom. Now, envision that same image but on a much smaller scale. The dragon crafted by creator Bart Marable, though diminutive, manages to capture the essence of this mythical beast. It depicts a dark creature exhaling flames upon what appears to be a tranquil island village, where residents live out their days in peace. In this compact creation, the creator has paid meticulous attention to detail, from the water supporting the island to the tip of the cathedral’s cross, leaving nothing to be desired.
