There must be something in the water in the Cologne area because derjoe, a sometimes collaborator with misterzumbi, seems to be producing motor vehicles of equally high calibre. His NYPD team are just spectacular

S.W.A.T.
If gold-toothed felons in black and white stripes overrun your LEGO town, it’s time to call in S.W.A.T. — armed with the usual gear.
Aeroplane
Well I’m going to take the vanity opportunity to post another of my creations here: an Antonov An-28 passenger plane as flown by Aeroflot. I’m pretty pleased with it. Can’t really think of much more to say so I’ll leave it there.

News: LEGO Factory 10190 Market Street
LEGO.com has a page dedicated to an upcoming LEGO Factory set called 10190 Market Street. The photos are still very small, but this looks like it’s going to be a gorgeous set:

This is a fun little set with lots of orange (ornj, if you’re so inclined), the first-ever LEGO garbage (1×1 bits in several colors), and a Technic piece that hasn’t been used in too many SYSTEM sets until now. Click the picture to see the Grand Admiral’s photoset.
Don’t worry SEALUG, I’ll bring it to the meeting this Saturday. :-D
Just out of town
Jeramy Spurgeon has a fantastic layout module under work at the moment. He manages a very natural semi-urban feel with just the right amount of curves and layers.
Wild to be wreckage forever
Hey, it’s my blog, I can quote poetry if I want to. Michael Jasper presents a batch of wonderful — if unridable — motorcycles:
Well, you can ride them if you only have a torso, but that’s a sacrifice I’d be willing to make to look this cool:

BS user Pongsit has posted pictures of an enormous LEGO Suvarnabhumi Airport. Not sure if this is fan made or official but it’s certainly very impressive.
