Amazing how certain creations evolve. First there was the minifig-scale Patrol Boat by Soren Roberts:
That inspired Chuck C. to make Chibi Patrol Boat:

Cruising down Route 66
Known as Noddy on Brickshelf, Karwik is synonymizing his name with realistic and stylish minifig bikes. His recent designs only reinforce his mastery of the subject. Check out Noddy’s Silver Shark and M72 Bobber backdropped by a well built gas station.
A look at the urban industrial core
Vitus Barth has created an amazingly detailed and realistic urban industrial diorama a month ago. It’s better that this masterpiece gets blogged late than never, and who would’ve thought that this is only his first large LEGO diorama!
Kaitimar’s Steam Tractor
Kaitimar put this adorable tractor in his steampunk folder, but I swear I’ve seen this at a county fair…
On the road with Steven Marshall
Busy with BrickCon, I never got around to blogging Steven Marshall‘s wonderful red truck. Steven’s great camper seems like an excuse to blog both.

Vehicles by misterzumbi and Tattun

Cafe Corner. Market Street. Cement Mixer. Recycle Truck.

Check out the Classic-Castle thread for more discussion and pictures.
EDIT: More, high-quality pictures are now available on BrickJournal.com, including pictures of the interior (some pictured below).
For anyone who didn’t know, the man pictured is Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, grandson of Ole Kirk Christiansen, the inventor of LEGO. 10184 Town Plan is a remake of 248 Town Plan Board. The boy seen in the original set is, in fact, Kjeld.
Cafe got caterpillar
Is your Cafe Corner a bit too laid back? Too staid? Too colorful? Then mechanize that bad boy!!! Izzo did.
Oh, and in his somewhat more normal version, the sidewalks move and it’s always raining:
