Sugegasa Rides the Air
Mecha master Sugegasa’s dozens of “unmanned control experiment machines” are generally controlled from afar by adorable minifig girls. According to his most recent blog post, this sometimes presents a bit of a problem:
At first, the girl simply ran after the unmanned machine, calling out instructions, but being too close proved death-defyingly dangerous, and ambient noise also sometimes prevented her commands from reaching the mecha. So, with parts she had lying around, the girl built a vehicle with enough speed to keep up with the mecha and a transmitter to clearly relay her voice commands from a safe distance.
Now, I’m generally not a fan of convoluted backstories for LEGO creations, but that is just too awesome not to pass on to all of you English-speaking LEGO fans.
Without further ado, here’s Sugegas’s flight-board:

Sauron’s Ringwraiths, or Nazgul:
Saruman’s Uruk-Hai:
A bunch of motley goblins, or orcs:
Some evil men, the Haradrim:
A Haradrim oliphaunt-driver, and Grima Wormtongue:
And finally, Gollum:
