Another one of mine. I was playing around with the new Lego shark and was comparing him with the previous renditions. I think this was inevitable!

The placid waters of Shannon Ocean’s seas
We’ll end our nautically themed evening on a more peaceful note, with a gorgeous coral reef scene by Shannon Ocean:
That brick-built hammerhead shark is truly fantastic, as are the variety of other undersea flora and fauna (including skeletons as bleached coral).
Utinni!
Giom’s LEGO Technic Theophile walking machine, inspired by Theo Jansen
Reader Giom sends word of an eight-legged LEGO Technic walker he built inspired by the “kinetic sculptures” of Theo Jansen:
For comparison, here’s a cool video (which happens to be a BMW ad; oh well):
Mike Crowley goes Country
Mike Crowley, aka Count Blockula, has done it again. But this time he does it on the farm.
Check out his Hen and Pig, as well.
Dealing with your crap, one wagonload at a time
Goopy the Troll may not be smart, but he gets the job done and in a hurry. He and his team of down-on-their-luck horses are the fastest in the business. Hence his title of “King of the Gong Farmers“! Next time your castle’s cesspit needs cleaning, call Goopy. He would appreciate the business.
Bionicle dragon
Patrick Biggs (Ahava516 on Flickr) built an impressive and formidable Bionicle dragon for the BBC (Bionicle Based Creation) Contest #50 on BZPower. Check out the scales on the neck and the use of ninja hang-glider flaps for the wings (a technique which reminds me of Bryce McGlone’s Dragon).
I never thought I’d see the day...
…but someone actually used Galidor pieces and used them well. Steve Puckett pulled this off with a figure called “Zantanicus”, among others. I salute him for a job well done!

Soaring eagle
Danny Rice (Big_X) isn’t known to be prolific, but when he builds, something amazing always results. Check out this life-like scupture of an eagle, which I had passed off earlier as an actual model while browsing thumbnails.
Award-Winning Butterfly
BisonFuehrer recently posted this award-winning creation. Though built back in ’97, it still has the ability to impress.
Mean Green Mother from Outer Space
Nathan Proudlove has grown -I mean built- his own mutant man-eating plant, Audrey II (from Little Shop of Horrors, entirely out of Bionicle pieces. Incredibly, this is Nathan’s first Bionicle creation. Nathan was inspired after listening to an interview of Bryce McGlone, who was recently featured on LAML.
Crimson Wolf builds a Dragon Temple
Newcomer Crimson Wolf, winner of the Small Category of the recent Picking Up The Pieces ApocaLEGO Contest with his Mine/Cave Hideout, has just posted pictures of another great creation, a Dragon Temple to “honor a lesser dragon god.” The temple is beautiful, with many great details, but my favorite part is the dragon itself.
