Speaking of minifig-scale vehicles, Sterling Knight built this LEGO version of the Shelby Cobra concept car from Ford.
The intake on the hood and the grill on the front include some interesting techniques, and the interior is also fully detailed.

Martin B-26 Marauder medium bomber by Ralph Savelsberg
Ralph Savelsberg (Mad physicist) proves once again that he’s one of the best LEGO aircraft builders with this B-26 “Marauder” bomber from World War II.
An entry for the second LEGO Military contest on Flickr, and has working landing gear and bomb bay doors.
I also realized recently that we’ve never properly blogged Ralph’s minifig-scale vehicles, so here’s a selection of his excellent emergency vehicles from a few months back:
The brick-built patterns on the British ambulance and patrol car are especially noteworthy.
Presentation is pertinent
It’s been a while since Soren Roberts has posted anything new but he’s been letting the pictures flow this past week. While not my favourite of his new stuff this firefighting mecha has great presentation.
Setting off on a caravan weekend in a Volkswagen Van
This eight-wide VW Van by Ed (Ed Bricks) had me smiling from the moment I saw it.
Complete with a caravan in tow, this little beauty makes me want to throw everything in the Van and head north to Lancashire on the M6 for a long weekend.
Sadly, I don’t live in England, so I’m stuck with I-5 as my roadway and Canada to the north, not that there’s anything wrong with Canada…
Check out Ed’s photostream on Flickr for tons more pictures of his LEGO VW Van, including shots of the fully detailed underside.
The Spirit Wagon is coming for you!
10194 Emerald Knight as a hotrod
MrTruck has added to his collection of vintage and classic LEGO vehicles with this beauty inspired by 10194 Emerald Night — thus “Emerald Hotrod”:
Via Klocki.
Joris lives in a LEGO house and plays Pokemon on his Nintendo DS
Joris Blok (joris.blok) recreated his house in The Netherlands. I’ve seen some nice brickwork, but Joris’s LEGO brick wall is outstanding.
While we’re at it, here are some of Joris’s very cool LEGO Pokemon, Oddish and Magnemite.
Oh, what the heck — here’s Joris’s Nintendo DS, too.
More Bad Days for Micropolis
The Reasonably Clever/TwinLUG Bad Day for Micropolis contest ends tomorrow, and a whole batch of great entries have come through in the last few days.
Erik Smit (eti) depicts an Evil Corp skyscraper replacing a block of historic houses:
Meanwhile, Tim Goddard (Rogue Bantha) recreates the entire line of modular buildings in microscale for his entry:
Paul Lee (polywen) adds a last-minute entry titled “It Came from BELOW!!!”

Kelvin’s Hotel
I woke up this morning to this lovely hotel by Kris Kelvin. Its a beautiful scene and I really like those cars!
Trouble at the Quarry
Chris M (powerpig) apparently has a troupe of semi-tame chipmunks living in his back yard. In fact, they’re so tame that they’ll pose for photos with his toys.
I’d just been paying attention to Chris’ LEGO photography until now, but his critter pictures are amazing too!
It’s a Bad Day for Micropolis on ReasonablyClever.com [w00t!]
In more contest news, Reasonably Clever and TwinLUG are hosting the Bad Day for Micropolis contest.
As this gorgeous school (with adorably itty-bitty school buses) built by judge Max Braun illustrates, the TwinLUG Micro City Standard is fairly simple — to fit into collaborative displays — while still enabling individual builders to do some pretty cool things.
There are four categories in the contest, and you can win a cartload of prizes. The contest ends at 2:22 AM EST on May 4, 2009, so get building!
Lovin’ the Curves!
Yonlev has built a gorgeous train depot, based on Tel Aviv’s Hashalom Train Station. Those curves are something else!
