Jon Newsome has been a MOCpages user for quite a while now, and his most recent creation showcases the most updated version of his Gattaca starfighter in addition to a base diorama. Check out some of the cool details like the landing pad pattern and the pilot ladder.
Ever since SlyOwl‘s demonstration of a technique for straw roofs in his Nassau Port, we see the technique again in Cheddar Gorge. But in addition to the innocent looking scene, there’s some pretty crazy stuff going on inside. Please heed SlyOwl’s warning that vegetarians should look away.
I seem to be at it again with the early posting but… this “work-in-progress” town by Brickshelf user `Basic’ (who I assume is from Lundfrom Nottingham, England) is simply amazing and needs posting now. I’ve got far too little time to go describing all the details I like but the illusory tram track stand out as worth of comment.
When the dead rise from their graves to destroy the living, dark magic must be afoot (or it’s the solanum virus, but that’s a different story). Dave Lartigue illustrates one such incident in his “Assault on the Necromancer’s Tower” diorama. Here’s the tower:
The dead rise up!
Villagers fight back!
There’s lots more to see in Dave Lartigue’s photostream on Flickr.
Even Trolls care…
In the future envisioned by Shadow Viking, New British forces fight a street battle with the Coalition of Loyalist Britons:
From the thrashed bus stop to the enormous crater being used as a mortar emplacement, this diorama is chock full of cool details. Check out the New Britain/ Coalition of Loyalist Britons street battle photoset on Flickr.
(Thanks Scotty!)
One of those days, Rocko will get some sleep and we’ll be less jealous of his prolificness, but until then, nothing stops him from building, not even a dozen disasters happening simultaniously.
So, after the zombie apocalypse, when humanity as we know it has ceased to exist, what do the victorious undead do? Kick up their heels in a gentlemen’s club, of course!
(The walking dead are simply pretending to be mindless drones as they tear apart our civilization. Clearly, once we’re out of the way, they’re capable of building a glorious society, as this diorama proves.)
Chris Edwards has created a unique castle-themed boss battle in which a family of five heroes battle an evil jester unleashed from a magical spell book. While the landscaping is typically excellent, what brings this model to the top of creativity is the jester’s contagious spread of magic, infecting those who come in contact with it. This is so typical of a video game boss, which makes me want to pick up a controller and start pressing buttons.
