Flickr user LegoLord continues his Dawn Core series in the footsteps of Keith Goldman. The Delta Thursday is the latest in the weekday lineup and depicts an assault on an sci-fi air base. Check out Monday through Wednesday and don’t miss the full gallery.
Arguably the most controversial LEGO creation of all time may have been Polish artist Zbigniew Libera’s 7-piece “Konzentrationslager“.
Nearly 15 years later, yoshix presents “Todeslager”.
A line of prisoners walks in the snow toward a building labeled “Showers” while other prisoners are forced to unload coal for the gas chamber’s engines. A guard leans his rifle against the wall of the building. The barrel of a sniper rifle pokes from the window of a watchtower overlooking the scene.
So, what do you see in this diorama? (Let’s set aside speculation about the builder’s intent for the moment, because — let’s face it — those kinds of discussions are hardly fair and rarely interesting.) What does it say to you?
And how does it fit into the broader LEGO military building “scene”? Are there certain subjects that should never be depicted in LEGO? If so, what are they, and why?
I can tell you where I’ll be going when I need the services of a forge. This creation is simply stunning. I’m partial to the look of 1×1 and 1×2 plates used to emulate stone; the chimney here is a gorgeous example.
All of the details here, really, are just wonderful. I see something new every time I look. What’s your favorite part about this forge?
Mr. Watkins, you have outdone yourself.
Joshua Morris (I Scream Clone) takes us to planet paradise in this bustling alien retreat. Check out all the minifig visitors; you never know who you might bump into.
I can say with near certainty that this is the first time realistic dissection has been rendered in LEGO. I can almost smell the well-exposed guts of Dave Kaleta’s celebration of biology classes. Now what tags do I use for this one?
Built for the MOCPages MOC Olympics.
Lee Jones (Doc069) recreates this iconic scene from the Matrix of Neo’s final battle with Smith. The scene is complete with 100 copies of Smith looking on from the rain-soaked backdrop.
Meanwhile, check out Lee’s 300 spartans. You’ve always wondered what that would look like, right?
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!
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.

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.
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.
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.
