James Zhan (pirate_cat) built the scene of the Chilean miners rescue highlighting the Phoenix capsule and the emotional crowd. The rescued miners even sport their stylish Oakleys!

Turtlin’ around
It seems that Ed, Chris and Gary aren’t the only Brits to have been busy lately. Pete Reid (legoloverman) has also been constructing this highly detailed and well animated turtle factory. And Chris Salt has been busy making a properly edited film of it. I approve.

All out action
Ryan H. (L.D.M.) shows us action in his latest and largest creation called Neotron Base. The black and white factions go all out in this battle with guns, sludge, and even an extending, grasping, hand, thingy.
Podcast of Keith Goldman’s Logan’s Run
If you’re interested in learning more about Keith Goldman‘s Logan’s Run diorama, you can now listen to a well-made podcast on Small World.
Can you put a price on peace?
Luke Watkins’s (– Derfel Cadarn –) latest castle diorama depicts hostile dragon knights storming the houses of the wealthy and demanding payment for peace. As usual, I love the detailed landscape in Luke’s dioramas. This shot below is simply epic, and here’s the overview picture.
SnowLion Keep
While it’s not quite “stopping by woods on a snowy evening,” it’s still poetic. Classic-Castle member LegoLord posted this lovely castle in the snow. It’s not particularly big, and that’s okay. The walls grab me and I like the tan/brown combo on the tower.
This creation bugs me
It’s a great space bug queen diorama, by Alex Fojtik (BrickFX). This is a truly immersive display, incorporating some great details. My favorite is the dripping slime, but I’ve also been known to love hexagons. The scattered space helmet eggs look great, and must have been quite a challenge to pose for different angled photos.
I wish my bored-inspired creations were this pretty.
Whenever I try and build when I’m bored, the results aren’t post-worthy. But this is clearly not the case for David Leest. His “bored” creations are clearly much better than mine.
That said, I really like this particular creation of his. I like the multi-level, bright colored goodness. It has enough implied movement to keep my eye wandering, and that works for me.
A picture sells a thousand sets
Tony Sava (SavaTheAggie) shows of his photography skills (and his excellent cathedral) with this brilliant showcase of the ‘grown-up’ LEGO town sets. I know we’ve blogged the cathedral before but this photo was too good to ignore.
Atlantis in Micro
The entries for Classic-Castle‘s Mini Castle Contest VI are starting to crop up, including Rod Gillies‘s study of Atlantis before the whole sinking incident. The whole thing is just gorgeous and completely captures a water-front city in its heyday.
Fort McHenry
Frequent readers may recall this creation from my roundup after BrickFair. The builder has finally gone ahead and posted photos of the diorama.
There are some great details worked into this creation. I especially love the various explosions and splashes, giving a great impression of a moment caught in time.
I also applaud the builder for his very interesting composition choices. Cutting off the ship to give a cross sectional view is a stroke of genius.
Ever Awesome Poison
It is a well established fact that lime is ever awesome. This makes Andrew Lee’s (onosendai2600) Poison Arrow even more ever awesome. Built for the closing-soon Clunker and Alien Mecha Contest.
