This time last year we were collectively preparing to worship LEGO Hawking, courtesy of Iain Heath. Now, the venerable Mr. Hawking is nothing but a prisoner of those damn dirty apes. I don’t trust Iain with my heroes of character anymore.
What’s next, Iain? Will you turn Quorra into a Justin Bieber fan? Will you, yourself, abandon miniland creations for minifig scale?
I just can’t take it anymore.
Most people are satisfied with simply uploading a bad picture of their LEGO tablescraps and adding them to their group. Nothing so simple was on the agenda for Brent (thwaak). He arranged, narrated, photographed and edited. And I’m glad he did.
Chris Edwards recently photographed his contribution of BrickFair’s Snowpocalypse layout last year. The abandoned school building covered in cold snow really helps to evoke an eerie feeling.
Those three blind mice. See how they run? According to Barney Main (SlyOwl), one wasn’t quite quick enough. There is a ton of great stuff hidden in plain sight in this photo. The whole presentation of it is just fabulous.
Chris Edwards once again demonstrates proper way of controling the action with his latest diorama called War Machines Strike. Using clever building techniques as well as puns, Chris shows us what happens when intelligent combat robots throw down their weapons and go on strike, ha! Check out the full gallery on Flickr.
The fuel that powers all those racers in the recent LUGNuts challenge has to come from somewhere. And something has to defend that fuel from meth-roaches. Wait, what? Take it away, Mark Stafford!

Mike Yoder (yoder42) made a small LEGO webcomic. There’s a lot of great action, and especially great models. Anyone else get an 80s or early 90s vibe here?
Karwik has created a beautiful rendition of Drzymała’s wagon with a wonderful backdrop of trees. His use of colour and texture in the otherwise plain wagon is truly masterful and the trees are almost certainly the best I’ve seen. I would be utterly remiss if I didn’t post this.
There’s been a ton of great creations posted in the past few days, and this one by Matija Grguric is certainly no exception. This castle has survived the times and is now transformed into a modern day historical attraction, complete with tourists of course! Check out the gallery with detail shots on Flickr.
Keith Goldman‘s latest diorama depicts a scene from Planet of the Apes. The rocky cliff and caves are beautiful to look at, especially with the added color texture created from using dark bley and gray. You can see more detail shots on Flickr, where each picture seems to have its own story to tell.
Competition is heating up over at Forbidden-Cove‘s Jolly Roger Contest. Matthew Hurt steps into the competition with this fortress, prepared to defend against the oncoming enemy.
There’s a certain grace in simplicity, and I do believe this build captured some of that essence. LegoLord posted this lovely little chapel, complete with columns, arches, and recessed windows. I like the little details that pop up to make the building visually interesting.
