Sean and Steph Mayo have issued giant scorpions to their minifigs. After all, why not? Everyone rides horses. If you want to make an entrance, nothing says “Look at me!” like a giant scorpion.

Brick-built Ostrich
This little ostrich, by Brick Monster, is adorable. I’m still amazed when a builder is able to make something so recognizable out of so few pieces. Well-played, sir!
Meet Pokey the Technic Triceratops
Remi can build dinosaurs, no question about it. I saw Pokey at BrickCon last year but these new pictures were just posted online. Pokey is even more awesome in person. Very awesome. You can see the entire set here, including BrickCon pictures.
(My apologies to Alyse if she built Pokey. The tags said “Remi” so I went with that.)
Slow and Steady
This whimsical build by Pino came out a couple of weeks ago, but I missed it. I have to say it is one of the most fun creations that I’ve seen recently. The snail is perfect. I love the house built around the outside of the shell and the bait, keeping the snail on the run, cracked me up. Yes, it appears that the bait is non-Lego (unless I’m mistaken) but would you really want to keep a snail that ate Lego?
The road to Olan Mills is paved with good intentions.
Some people say that they don’t really like pets. I say they just haven’t found the right animal yet. But once you do find that special beastie, drag it in to the professional photography studio to capture the moment! rong YIREN inflicts a particularly nasty kind of purgatory on this girl and her cuddly pet.
Ent Misbehavin’
Hideous puns aside these Ents by Shannon Sproule (Shannon Ocean) are brilliant. Apparently you’d know this if you were at Brickworld 2011.
Shiver me Timbers!
And now for something completely different. I seldom build anything Pirate and I’ve never tried anything quite like this before. The goofy look on his face appeals to me, so I may have to leave it together for awhile…at least until Talk Like a Pirate Day.
By the way, this was built for Forbidden Cove’s June Seedpart Contest.
Neville the Little Bot
This “little” robot that m_o_n_k_e_y just posted on flickr is simply adorable. The bot has quite a lot of character, as well as a striking color scheme. The proportions between the body parts (big head and feet, small body) give lend a babylike quality that’s quite cute. Meanwhile, the gigantic gun warns us from pointing that cuteness out.
Nightmare Carriage
Until today I was unfamiliar with the work of RGB900 but I’m very glad to have spotted his work on Brickshelf today. His Nightmare Carriage has excellent brick built horses and some wonderful use of parts. I’m very happy to have made my acquaintance with his photostream.
Some things just look cooler with a really big gun.
Taylor‘s dragon is no exception. The overall color scheme and texturing just work for this beautiful brick-built beast. I can’t decide if I either feel safe that this dragon is (theoretically) in my corner or threatened that it has a grudge against me.
Fantastic work!
[Enter gratuitous sheep joke here]
I looked at it, so now you have to. Guy Himber has done it again and I don’t know whether to laugh, cry or run away. I do know one thing. It’s disturbing on a deeper level because someone just saw this over my shoulder and swore at my screen. So it must be good, right?
(Before anyone asks, all the pieces are connected…except for the eyebrows and nostril bits)
Edulyoung’s Pegasus automaton soars on alabaster wings
This pegasus sculpture by Edulyoung is beautiful enough to highlight here, but the Technic pedestal reveals there’s more to this flying LEGO horse than pretty white bricks.
This video of the pegasus in motion quite literally took my breath away.
