Fvin doesn’t seem content to wait for the release of LEGO Disney/Pixar sets.
Fvin’s Mack from Cars may not have mud flaps, but has lots of other cool details to check out on Brickshelf.
Thanks for the tip, Bruce!

The lovely Queen of Hearts Castle
This majestic castle by Edward C (Reejoc) isn’t any ordinary fortification; it’s home to the Queen of Hearts and her loyal guards. To get to the castle, you must find your way through the thorned hedge maze, which is the first of its kind done in LEGO.
Some other cool features include the floating rock garden, the watchtower, and an intricate throne room. The inspiration for this creation was drawn from, as you guessed it, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

The Colonial Viper design is inspired by the little black fighter by Bodo Elsel I saw recently on MicroBricks.
Here’s a close-up of the Vipers, escorting a Colonial Raptor:

Fully functional Beauty and the Beast LEGO music box
It’s not uncommon for us to use trite phrases in the title of our posts, but this time we mean it literally. Check out this microsized vignette by edulyoung from the ballroom scene of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The vignette also functions as a real-working music box, in which components from an actual music box where modified to fit with LEGO parts. Check out how it all works in the gallery on Brickshelf.
UPDATE: Joel over at BB Gadgets created an embeddable version of Edul’s video, which is absolutely gorgeous:

Knowing is half the battle
Wow, these sure brought back some memories. Back in the day, I was a big GI Joe fan. These recreations by Alexander Schranz are spot on. Click on the picture and scroll down. There’s a lot of awesome GI goodness there. I always liked the bad guys best though. Cobra!
Great job, Alex! Thanks for pointing these out to us.
Thanks for all the fish
This modified sphere by wnc.thomas is a great tribute to Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Kind of made me sad….I still miss Douglas Adams.
So meaty!
Skinny tie on Joel McHale, check. Bikini on Mankini (with big ole bellybutton), check.
As Ochre Jelly says on his MOCpages entry for this creation:
It you don’t watch “The Soup” then this creation won’t [make] much sense to you. Actually, if you don’t watch this show then you are missing the funniest show on US television! Perhaps you don’t own a television. Or haven’t figured out how to operate it yet. Or you are a fan of reality TV shows and are therefore unable to read the numbers on the remote control.
LEGO Steampunk Cylon clanks and chugs toward humanity’s demise
Cartoonist Mark Anderson (Flickr) combines two things we love — LEGO steampunk and Battlestar Galactica — for one of the most original mashups we’ve seen in a while.
Cattle Roundup!
Michal Herbolt cleans up with his lazy Gong Farmer…
While Callum tames the most dangerous beasts on earth for his crack cavalry units. Beause you know ain’t nothing more frightful than an full on Bovine charge!
Any longer out on that road and I’m one of them, a terminal psychotic...
Building from inspiration unlikely to result in any official sets for his day job, Adam “MisterZumbi” Grabowski gives Mad Max the LEGO treatment.
Via Klocki.
Mosaics of unrivaled ingenuity
Brandon Griffith (icgetaway) displayed two knockout mosaics at BrickCon last October. In addition to their enormous proportions (scale picture 1 and 2), these mosaics are constructed from effective and unusual building techniques. The first, called See Your Enemy, depicts the scene from the Matrix when Neo sees the real representation of Agent Smith. The mosaic uses transparent elements placed on top of traditional colors for an added layer of texture.
The second is a representation of the artwork from the Criterion Edition of Akira Kurosawa’s “Throne of Blood,” it uses a combination of plates, tiles, and even slopes for a variety of textures. Click here for a high resolution of the mosaic to see the details.
It was a three hour tour...[Parody Sets]
Dave Shaddix is working on a beautiful series of Gilligan’s Island creations. Based on episodes from the iconic TV show, they are accompanied by some pretty snazzy box art!
Just a reminder, since the box art looks so authentic, these parody sets don’t actually exist!
