Brickshelf user Jalkow made a fun diorama featuring a giant Brontosaurus Bus from the cartoon The Flintsones. Hurry up Fred and Barney, or you’ll miss the ride!

More prototype weapons from BrickArms [News]
Corran101 recently won the Bladerunner vignette contest on the BrickArms forums, and his prize was a set of prototypes of new designs. The two designs are for the Auto-9 Pistol (the longer one) and PKD2019.
Click the picture above for the full photoset on Flickr, but here’s Corran101’s excellent winning entry:
The Black Lodge
At first glance, it looks like Rocko made some minifigs and furniture, but wait! Study the backdrop and you’ll see that it’s brick built as well! Check out the Black Lodge from Twin Peaks.
His skin was pale and his eye was odd.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is director Tim Burton’s latest collaboration with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Sir Nadroj‘s vignette uses a partial basement to evoke a very “Burtonesque” atmosphere for his vignette version of a scene from the film.
I am not my LEGO collection
Adam Hally is both an excellent cartoonist and LEGO builder. His LEGO creations often have an artistic inclination, as his latest little scenes demonstrate.

“I am not my futuristic designer floor lamps”:

Minifigs from Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Kyle Peterson
As “Armothe,” Kyle Peterson may be best known as one half of the team behind BrickForge, but he’s also a great minifig customizer in his own right. His latest set of figs is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. From Arthur and Sir Bedevere (above) to Launcelot and Robin (below), the gang’s all here.
Check out Kyle’s Flickr photostream for more, including Galahad, Gawain, and my favorite, a French Knight:
“Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!”
Arvo builds Iron Man
I recognized the figure from the thumbnail, but passed it off as a shot of an action figure, but then realizing that it belongs to the Arvo bros‘ gallery, I had to check to make sure. Yup, I was wrong.
There currently aren’t any more pics available, as they tend to slowly update the gallery for some kind of suspenseful effect.
This car is a hundred percent death-proof.
Lino Martins displayed Stuntman Mike’s “death-proof” car (from the movie Grindhouse) at BrickFest and BrickCon, but he just uploaded pictures recently. Naturally, it has a roll cage, seat belts, and other safety devices on the driver’s side, and nothing but a tractor seat on the passenger’s side.
While we’re at it, here’s Lino’s ’49 Ford cab, which won First Place in the Model Team category at BrickCon:
Alien Queen by Jeff Ranjo
The latest LEGO creation inspired by Aliens is one built mostly from Bionicle by Jeff Ranjo. (Via Klocki.)
Vader gets his own guards
If the Emperor gets his personal guards, why can’t the dark lord himself? When I found those red Darth Vader helmets on Bricklink, I knew what I had to do.
“I made you something...”
Walking with giants
It’s been a while since Matt (aka lowlead) built, but he shows that he’s still got the skills, in fact… amazing skills! Matt’s AT-AT has been evolving for more than seven years, and the latest v4.0 shows the AT-AT in it’s fullest grandeur.
Here’s more information on this model:
“Although somewhat conventional in construction by today’s standards, this MOC represents more than seven years of evolution and has been a favorite of mine ever since version 1. When I first saw Dave Eaton and Shaun Sullivan’s Hoth diorama, I had to build a UCS style AT-AT of my own.
v4.0 better represents the actual ILM models with a re-designed head, legs and drive cams that articulate in the manner they do in EpV, a new neck, a higher center body section, and a completely re-designed drive section using some metallic wheel hubs from the Silver Champion race car.
Due to weight (it’s reeeeeely hefty) and structural issues, this remains a sculpture MOC, with no interior…for now.
The only disadvantage of fully poseable legs is the mandatory support stand. While it stands free when the legs are positioned straight, the doubled-up clicky joints just aren’t hearty enough to support its weight when the knees are bent, or the legs positioned fore or aft.”
