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.

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.
Alex Eylar gives Oscar-nominated 2010 movies the LEGO treatment
It’s always wonderful to see a fellow LEGO builder get well-deserved exposure from the non-LEGO world. With the Academy Award nominees just announced, Alex Eylar‘s awesome LEGO versions of the Best Actor/Actress and Best Picture nominees are popping all over the place, from The Daily Telegraph to the front page of Yahoo!.
I’m surprised to see any sci-fi movie nominated, and I love Alex’s rendition of Inception, which we highlighted in our interview with him back in August.
James Franco’s character cuts off his own arm in 127 Hours.
Colin Firth gets nervous in front of crowds in The King’s Speech.
See all ten of Alex’s LEGO movie scenes in his Flickr photostream, and do check out the gallery on Telegraph.co.uk as well, which has a couple photos of Alex at his LEGO table, talking about his building and photography process.
I want to go to Sesame Street
At least this cute little one by Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick). My favorites for sure are Oscar the Grouch and Elmo’s little clam head, but Cookie Monster comes in a close.
Why in the world am I not camped outside Matt’s house waiting for the next great creation?
Seven Disney princesses in LEGO Miniland scale
Builder Matt Armstrong created these seven inspiring Disney princesses with an amazing and unique brick-built style that he has dubbed “bricklings”. The magic of this scale is evident as no explanation is required as to who they are. On closer look, you can see the careful selection of parts is only the first sign of creativity, the colour selection is spot on! From parts usage to colour selection Matt helps us all re-live the individual tales found within this collective. What can best be described as micro Miniland people, don’t be fooled by the scale, as these figures remind us all to keep dreaming big.
Your mistletoe is no match for my T.O.W. missile!
Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, Robot Santa from Futurama will wreak havoc in your house. This LEGO version by Mark Anderson of Andertoons is sure to put the fear of Xmas in every child’s heart.
