Tiny tank has a leg up on the competition

LEGO Master Tyler Clites, fresh off a nationally televised victory, is already jumping back into battle with a not-so-tiny tank.

Tiny Tank

With deceptively chunky proportions (hearkening back to Metal Slug, Advance Wars, and other video game renditions) this new offering is impressive for it’s economical use of olive green pieces which aren’t available in as wide a variety of molds as many other LEGO colors.

This beauty is also notable for a unique tread technique made by stacking minifig legs. Besides LEGO’s own tread pieces, there have been a bevy of alternate techniques used by builders in the past including binoculars, coupling plates, and even behemoths so big the treads are entirely original builds.

Another mini LEGO Masters challenge: the exploding alien

If you’ve watched last week’s episode of The LEGO Masters, this little build should look familiar! In the explosive space challenge, Tyler Clites and his wife Amy designed an incredible alien and bomb-toting hero sculpture to be dropped from a balcony. The duo named the creation “The Sacrifice” and the story behind it involved the hero giving up his life to destroy the alien. And in glorious fashion. The ensuing destruction as host Will Arnett launched it over the rail was indeed epic!

The Sacrifice

Tyler and Amy received the highest praise for their build and are top competitors moving into this week. The show airs at 9PM Wednesdays on Fox. Be sure to follow our extensive coverage! Also, check out Tyler’s Funny Farm mini build from the first challenge!

The vegetable’s revenge

Angry Carrot is out for vengeance. It looks like Bunny is in a whole heap of trouble in this fun creation by Tyler Clites. The carrot is nicely shaped, and immediately recognisable with its burst of green leaves. Ball and socket Mixel joints give the mutant vegetable’s limbs some good poseability, but it’s the facial expressions which steal the show here. The half-strangled rabbit looks more than a little distressed with its protruding tongue and bulging eyes, and the carrot’s features are perfect — the curve of that eyebrow is the perfect addition to the asymmetrical eyes, creating a tonne of character with just a handful of pieces.

The steamy world of Bartholomew Crank

Still playing catch up. The often blogged Legohaulic has gone on a steampunk building spree lately. He has invented an inventor named Bartholomew Crank. First up is Crank’s personal airship, the Boistrous Maiden. Note the patchy balloon!

And to his mailman, Mr. Basil, Bartholomew Crank built the aptly named Postal Gyro:

Legohaulic’s Floating Rock

I don’t recall who built the first floating rock (commenters, please enlighten me!), but more and more builders are making these really cool little creations. Legohaulic’s presents an excellent rock inhabited by an “eccentric inventor”:

Here’s the inventor’s unique mode of conveyance, parked on a second, smaller rock:

FBTB R-Wing by Legohaulic

Okay, I’m on page 7 — I promise I’m almost done. Here’s Legohaulic’s entry:

Great Old Republic color scheme, cockpit, and inclusion of astromech droid. Oh, and the big gun is pretty cool.

Legohaulic’s Three-Legged Steampunk Walker

Brickshelfer Legohaulic joins the steampunk revolution with an excellent three-legged walker (via LEGO-BINGO):

The combination of extensive Technic parts with little details like the wooden paneling around the cockpit or the umbrella over the driver make this a perfect example of the steampunk building style.
