Tyler Clites built a life-sized replica of the ARC gun from District 9. Nuff said. I’ll leave you to pick up pieces of your brain from the floor.

Frankenstein, a vignette
Mr. Xenomurphy‘s Frankenstein vignette depicts the perfect setting for the scene when Victor Frankenstein brings his creation to life. Check out the gallery on MOCpages for more pictures that show other great details such as the cracked floor.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Tyler (Legohaulic) takes us on a journey of the strange and weird, down the rabbit hole and (hopefully!) back again.
I think the perspective and parts use is fantastic (that glass table is just lovely!), and everything together REALLY helps create the atmosphere.
Sucker Punch bunny mech in LEGO by Fredoichi
Although Sucker Punch may be getting reamed by critics, it’s still a visually breathtaking film that is inevitably inspiring LEGO models. Fredo Houben is the first I’ve seen to take on the iconic bunny mech, complete with custom stickers.
Beyond the MASK
I think I vaguely remember the TV show M.A.S.K. but you don’t really need to know what Boulder Hill is to know you like the LEGO model. The service station mode is cool enough but Alex Schranz (“Orion Pax”) lets it transform just like the toy.
M.A.S.K.!
It looks like Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) loved M.A.S.K. as much as I did. It was ones of the many toy lines my parents refused to buy for me as a kid. Alex’s model incorporates many of the play features found in the original toy, as well.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
This time last year we were collectively preparing to worship LEGO Hawking, courtesy of Iain Heath. Now, the venerable Mr. Hawking is nothing but a prisoner of those damn dirty apes. I don’t trust Iain with my heroes of character anymore.
What’s next, Iain? Will you turn Quorra into a Justin Bieber fan? Will you, yourself, abandon miniland creations for minifig scale?
I just can’t take it anymore.
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Miniland figures
Tommy Williamson, I salute you. These Miniland figures from Pirates of the Caribbean include an amazing level of detail. Jack Sparrow is nice, but Captain Barbossa is awesome.
Spongebob terminator
rack911 haung shows what’s really under the skin of Spongebob, and it’s definitely not squishy.
Beautiful curves of the Phenix
Christophe Corthay‘s Star Trek inspired Vulcan ship called the Phenix has some of the craziest curves I’ve seen. They’re crazy because not only are there so many rings, but they are also textured by SNOT techniques. I can’t imagine the amount of strain in this model, which could make it explode at any moment. But for what it’s worth, the result looks drop dead gorgeous.

Diorama from Planet of the Apes
Keith Goldman‘s latest diorama depicts a scene from Planet of the Apes. The rocky cliff and caves are beautiful to look at, especially with the added color texture created from using dark bley and gray. You can see more detail shots on Flickr, where each picture seems to have its own story to tell.
