In some of his recent creations, Mark Stafford shows us the creative value of some Bionicle parts. If it weren’t for this science fantasy flyer, I’d never have known those Bionicle wings to exist. Mark calls this the Flitterfly; I wonder what kind of sound it makes.

The BuzzHawk rules the skies
David Simmons‘ BuzzHawk is an sleek and stylish ship that went through quite an extensive process of evolution. I really like the engine thruster pods and the fact that they swivel to increase maneuverability.

Peter Reid‘s latest creation in his Classic Space lineup is the MkII Rover. What makes this model stand out are the innovative ribbed barrels, a new technique which is likely to proliferate through the community in the future.

Nelson Yrizarry is on a vignette-building roll. His latest depicts what happens to a interstellar mycologist runs afoul of some exo-fungi.
