That may be what defines space for Leonard McCoy, but I suspect Spock and Uhura — built here by Ochre Jelly — find more pleasure in the Final Frontier…

Only one man would dare give me the raspberry...
LONESTAR. Or is that Zack (Newright)? He’s built a fun rendition of the Eagle V space Winnebago from Space Balls. While it’s not the first rendition I’ve seen of this craft, and probably won’t be the last, it’s the best I’ve seen in awhile. Unlike some other renditions I’ve seen, it looks small enough to be swooshable as well.
28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds
That’s all we’ve got left, at least according to Frank. Until then, enjoy this duo of miniland characters from Donnie Darko. They are brought to us by the incomparable Lino.
Oh, yeah…on that note…I’m back. ;)
Johnny Tang’s LEGO Hellboy has abs of plastic
Johnny Tang (johnnytang) is at it again with amazing sculptures. His latest is Hellboy:
At this scale, Johnny can pack in lots of important details (like the two studs on Hellboy’s pecs), but it takes some serious skill to get it all to fit together so well. Check out the full LEGO Hellboy gallery on Brickshelf.
Thanks for the tip, Bruce! (More to come…)
Rocko’s Ecto-1 answers your call
Laputa ornithopter flaps to Sheeta’s rescue
The first LEGO creation that Jon Hall has posted to Flickr is a LEGO version of the ornithopter, or “flaptter”, from the Miyazaki film Laputa: Castle in the Sky:
I love the shape, and the use of the clear canopies as wings is excellent.
Thanks for the tip, Horace Cheng! Don’t miss Horace’s own Laputa flaptter here on The Brothers Brick.
Blade Runner Pod-Racer
Over on Flickr, Larry Lars has posted an entry in FBTB’s pod racer contest that I love. It’s a mash-up of a pod-racer and a spinner from Blade Runner.
He’s done a fantastic job with it, capturing all the little details from the original. I think that might even be Edward James Olmos in the driver’s seat. It’s too bad she won’t live!
thundercats Thundercats THUNDERCATS HO!!
Tim (Roguebantha) has built an entry for the FBTB Podracer contest that’s sure to strike fear into Mumra’s heart. It looks like it would fit in with the vehicles from the old TV show perfectly. I love the claws, and mouth detail, and basically everything else about it. The engine pods even retract and attach to the body!
Monty Python podracer challenges Mac podracer as best LEGO mashup ever
The iPod Racer by Matt De Lanoy may have seemed the epitome of LEGO geekiness — a good thing! — but this “Swallow podracer” by tbone_tbl is quite possibly its equal:
The podrace engines that represent King Arthur’s 5-ounce swallows tow a two-pound coconut pod, with the king’s trusty servant Patsy clopping along behind.
It remains unclear whether the swallows are African or European…
Brian Williams shows us where Indy got his hat.
I’m sure most of us remember the scene from the opening of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where teen aged Indy chases down some relic thieves on a train.
Brian Williams has built an amazing rendition of that train. Complete with a chase over a flatbed car. He’s made some excellent custom stickers to add the extra details specific to the movie as well. I just hope that there’s a lion and a whip inside there somewhere.
He’s also built some other great Indiana Jones creations, like the tank to the right, which are on his flickr account.
The Powerpuff Girls
Sugar, spice, and everything nice, these were the ingredients chosen, to create the perfect little girls, but Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredients to the concoction–Chemical X. Matt Armstrong (Monsterbrick) has added another ingredient to his miniland scale rendition of the Powerpuff Girls, LEGO. I think he did an especially nice job on the shoes.
I think he’s come back for his noon feeding!
Adam Grabowski (Mister Zumbi) puts Quint, Hooper, and Brody aboard a vessel slightly too small for the job at hand — a certain boat named Orca.
I love this simple shot that mimics the Jaws movie poster:
