It seems that rural scenes are the new black. So soon after we blogged Yvonne Doyle’s English country scene brickshelf shows me Patrick Bosman’s Dutch Landscape. As with Yvonne, Patrick has also build off the grid to add a more organic feeling.

A lovely view of the country
This rustic scene by Yvonne depicts Woodvale in early morning. The buildings borrow their style from the town of Stratford-upon-Avon. I really like how the lighting simulates a sunrise.
Candy coloured clown
It’s no secret that I’m fond of Pakistani trucks and it’s a love I share with Adam Grabowski (misterzumbi). Let’s face it, Adam does it better than me.
And for any doubters the bags are duplo sleeping bags.
Streets of London
For once I don’t have to rack my brain trying to think of a relevant song. Barney Main (SlyOwl) has already done it for me by basing a diorama on Ralph McTell’s song Streets of London. Be sure to click through the pictures in order to match the song lyrics to the diorama.
Do not attempt this in real life
Sean Kenney presents a public service announcement for bikers. Its message is simple yet striking. Check out Red Light.
Can I have instructions?
For once the answer is yes.
Ronald Vallenduuk (Duq) has recently added a couple of sets of instructions to Flickr and kindly showed me how to get LPub working again. I actually reverse engineered the seat gondola many years back after seeing a picture of it and coveting it so it’s great to see Ronald making it available to all and sundry.
I used to make more instructions but had to stop for a while due to a problem I had with LPub. With Ronald’s fix I’m back and running so did some instructions for my latest.

Pictures of 2010 LEGO sets – Atlantis, Toy Story, & more – at Festival RFFL [News]
UPDATE: High-res photos of LEGO Atlantis sets are now out.

Alexander (Shurik) posted pictures of some of the 2010 sets that LEGO has displayed at a sponsored event in Russia called Festival Rossiyskogo Fan Forum Lego. The featured sets include samples from the following themes: Atlantis, Toy Story, Prince of Persia, Star Wars, Power Miners, City, Bionicle and more.
EDIT (TG): These pictures were uploaded due to a miscommunication and have been removed from Flickr at the request of TLG. The local Ambassador, Igor Makarov, asked me to remove the deeplink which I have done.
UPDATE: Target.com also has box art for one of the 2010 LEGO Power Miners sets, 8188 Fire Blaster:
Fendt Xylon tractor by MisterZumbi
New vehicles from Adam Grabowski (MisterZumbi) are always a bit of an event. His latest is a Fendt Xylon, a German tractor.
Via Klocki, which has a great side-by-side comparison shot.
Amidst the snowy mountains...
This was just too good to pass up. The Schubert family created this amazing Alpine Village, which was displayed at BrickFair. The only photos appear to be on Brickshelf from Abe (scrope), another attendee.
Thanks to Bruce, via Fascinating LEGO Model of the Day!
We love the Furry Freak brothers...
Warning! This model is 100% LEGO.
Dmac has combined practicality and raw beauty into his DT-75 tractor making a truly impressive beast. That plush seat looks so comfy I’d like to shrink myself to scale and relax.
