Russian LEGO fan (and fellow LEGO Ambassador) Danila Dandily Martyakhin has posted a gorgeous bumper car diorama.
Click through for “daylight” photos on Brickshelf, but I just love this “night” shot:
The bumper cars themselves are worth a closer look:

Tim G (Roguebantha) has been working lately on a microscale Star Wars battle of epic proportions. It’s all come down to this action-packed diorama featuring some of the best LEGO Star Wars mini models around. Click on the pictures below for the Flickr gallery, or you can check out the Brickshelf gallery here.
Check out the smoke effect on this crashing X-wing, which is cleverly supported by the laser beam from the turret.
Scurvy seadog Jordan Schwartz strands an Imperial landlubber on a desert isle. Down below, there be nothin’ but a shark and a poop deck.
Says Jordan, “After crashing against a shark infested reef, our lone Imperial Governor is stranded on a small, unstable spit of land. And I think the heat is getting to him…”
(Just for the record, I’m not going to try to talk like a pirate in every post today.)
Check out this peaceful lighthouse scene that has a classic-town theme feel to it created by Matija Grguric (the builder who brought you Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye). Take note of the incorporation of this raised baseplate into the creation.
In another last-minute entry for the Reasonably Clever Brick Science contest, Moritz Nolting gives us “Doctor Dank” and his submarine lair.
Here’s the fairly fishy Professor Dankervoort:
And the lair as it would appear to an intrepid agent bent on infiltrating the mad scientist’s domain:
Don’t miss more pictures in Moritz’ Flickr photostream or the full gallery on Brickshelf.
Adrian Florea applies various interesting techniques to his first-ever LEGO pirate creation.
The roof consists of slopes on their sides, a rounded walkway curves around the tower, and the dark green doors from the minecarts in 7036 Dwarves’ Mine make lovely awnings over the windows:
For a first-time creation in this theme, there’s a lot to like. Be sure to look through the rest of the pictures on Brickshelf.
Rodney Bistline has been posting some great dioramas recently that feature a “Space Action Hero.” It would seem he can’t land his little swoosh fighter very well, but we keep seeing him in interesting new — albeit sticky — situations.
In Rodney’s most recent adventure, Space Action Hero lands in an alien tree (more on Brickshelf):
In an earlier escapade, our Hero crashes on an alien planet (Brickshelf):
What I like so much about both scenes is the alien in each diorama:

Fedde (aka Cthulhu or Karf Oolhu) enters the Reasonably Clever Brick Science contest with “The lunatic’s lunar lair”:
“Deep in his heavily fortified lunar lair, the lunatic Doktor Frank N. Staines plays re-creator of life.” Click through to the Flickr photopage to read Fedde’s full description, and see the Brickshelf gallery for more pictures.
Karwik (Noddy), the guy with the bikes, is throwing a big party at his motorcycle clubhouse, and gosh is the scene lively. With so many people and bikes to check out and details aligning every corner, this is something you don’t want to miss. Oh, and the fun‘s just getting started, check out the details gallery ;)
tiberium_blue is fast becoming a popular name on Flickr with his recent noteworthy creations. This interesting scene of Dr. Monochrome’s Monodome is his latest crowd pleaser (which he hopes will please the judges of the Brickscience Contest as well).
The new LEGO Pirates fan community at ForbiddenCove.com is certainly inspiring some wonderful pirate-themed LEGO creations lately!
One of my favorites so far is “Castaway t’ Neverland” by SlyOwl:
Brick-built creatures populating the desert island include a gull, hummingbird, crabs, and monkey. Note the horns for breakers and the microscale ship in the background, as if off in the distance. Brilliant!
