One of those days, Rocko will get some sleep and we’ll be less jealous of his prolificness, but until then, nothing stops him from building, not even a dozen disasters happening simultaniously.

Rocko relaxes with the undead
So, after the zombie apocalypse, when humanity as we know it has ceased to exist, what do the victorious undead do? Kick up their heels in a gentlemen’s club, of course!
(The walking dead are simply pretending to be mindless drones as they tear apart our civilization. Clearly, once we’re out of the way, they’re capable of building a glorious society, as this diorama proves.)
In the wilds of the Electric Frontier with the Jeffersons
I think that a sign of a good builder is the inability of others to categorize what they build. We’ve been putting Brent‘s creations in our steampunk category, but really, they’re not, are they?
Brent sets his latest batch of creations in the imagined world of an alternative American 1970s — the semi-contemporary equivalent of his Victorian 1870s.
One of my favorite details is this little tool cart:
The sack of (insert city name here)
The diversly talented Shannon Young builds whatever he wants, gets whatever he wants, and certainly destroys whatever he wants. This is Shannon’s demonstration of his power, to put a random nameless city to rubbles. He quotes Machiavelli that “whoever conquers a free town and does not demolish it commits a great error and may expect to be ruined himself.”
Rally Fiat Abarth 131 by Steven Marshall
From the custom decals to the subtle, brick-built details (like the Italian flag!), what’s not to love about Steven Marshall‘s rally car? Answer: Nothing — it’s just beautiful from bumper to bumper.
Janey Cook micros 10184 Town Plan
Janey Cook bought 10184 Town Plan recently (and you can too!), so she decided to incorporate a micro version into her fantastic micro layout. (Via MicroBricks.)
And here’s a bonus NES Controller Janey built:
Jas Nagra wants to sell you some firearms & a delicious panini
Jas Nagra puts air intakes from Racers sets to good use for a purple storefront that sells guns to people like “Tracy.”
Using the same basic architecture, Jas swaps the pieces for paninis:
It’s worthy of Lloyd Frank Wright.
This outstanding piece of architecture belongs in a museum! The use of color and total disregard for conventional walls really gives this piece that extra special flair. I love it! 5/5!
Update (April 2): April Fools!
Take a cruise...see the world.
We didn’t cover LEGO’s cruise ship contest all that well and we apologize for that. But better late than never, we always say! This is one entry that definitely got overlooked:
There is so much detail in this creation but that yellow mast really stands out for me.

Klaus and the forklift
Jas Nagra has celebrated the best safety video ever with this series of scenes involving Klaus, co-workers and a forklift. Remember, kids, safety is paramount.
Cafe De Kroon Restaurant
Patrick Bosman erects an impressive facade of the Cafe De Kroon Restaurant in Amsterdam. What’s most noticeable about this model is the diagonal construction of the structure, where the builder managed to seamlessly construct the building on a diagonal axis of the baseplate, a difficult feat when the LEGO studs run horizontally and vertically. Check out the gallery, featuring a detailed interior with a lively atmosphere.
Ralph Savelsberg is livin’ the American dream
Ralph Savelsberg (Flickr) may live somewhere in southern England, but that doesn’t mean he can’t join us on the highway to a KOA hookup somewhere south of Yosemite — at least in spirit.
Check out his Ford F-150 pickup and Winnebago RV:
Don’t miss the bike rack and lots of other great details in Ralph’s Wheels photoset.
As always, a bonus airplane — a US Navy Lockheed S-3B Viking:
