Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj) gives us a slice of South Asian culture with a scene of Nepal. He’s been working at it for the past few weeks and there are a number of interesting techniques to see. Direct your attention to the bridge, the flowing river, and the building interior, precariously nested on top of a Yeti cave!
True to his nickname, it seems like there’s always something going wrong in LEGO creations by crises. In his latest diorama, a team of intrepid spacemen have unleashed some nasty tentacles from beneath the ground:
Note several interesting techniques, including the tentacle penetrating the helmet of the unfortunate spaceman with the red air tank and the vehicle with independent suspension.
Erik “Eti” Smit has built a faithful recreation of various locations in the world of Pippi Longstocking, including Pippi’s house, Villa Villekulla.
The two-story house has a porch (with a horse on it), lemonade tree, swing set, and detailed interior with a kitchen and bedroom.
Other locations in Pippi’s world include her father’s ship in the harbor, with Blom and Dunder-Karlsson in their prison cell.

Josh featured LEGO creations by Florian (demdike) twice while I was away, and I’m so glad to learn of this builder who I hadn’t encountered before!
Florian’s latest creation is a “picture from the Ganymede mission in 2026”:
More pics on Brickshelf.
Via Yonder Splendid Assuagement of Bloviation. (Phew!)
Look away if disturbing LEGO images aren’t your thing.
Still here? Well, there’s a lot to take in in Battledog‘s zombie outbreak diorama.
Observe the spilled water, dripping blood, and brave janitor holding off the horde.
It’s always a pleasure when I can feature a cool new LEGO creation by one of our longtime readers. RichardAM (Flickr) has been a regular here for a very long time, and I just love his latest pirate diorama.
In “Imperial Outpost,” a small group of pirates attempts to wreak havoc on some unsuspecting guards:
I especially like the angled walls and the openings around the cannons.
Zack “NewRight” presents a wonderful landscape accompanied by a short story, which you can read here.
Classic Castle member, Lord Scuba, recently posted a single picture of his lettuce patch.
Besides the plethora of green hairpieces, the simplicity of this creation really stood out. The posing of the farmer is just about perfect and I have never seen that rat used so well.
Mike Psiaki (who is no stranger to being blogged) has built a climatic scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park that is better than the movie it was based upon!

One of my all time favorite builders, Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) conjures a scene where a greenhouse is transformed into a decontamination site for the Picking up the Pieces contest (ends today July 31st). For a closer look at the awesome vehicle, click this gallery. Don’t forget to check out the details in the main gallery linked from the picture below.
Flickr user tiberium_blue presents his entry in the Picking up the Pieces contest (ends today July 31st) showing a group of apocalypse survivors building their new home under on the Lionsgate Bridge. I’m guessing the height of this creation to be over 1.5 feet, which makes it the tallest entry so far.
