Brickshelfer Warren McCoy has uploaded several new vehicles recently, and my favorite is this riding lawn mower:

Black Porsche 356 by Tmbgrulz
Wow, this is one sweet car! I haven’t been this blown away for some time! That is one elegant creation. Look at that chrome, the sleek shiny blackness of it all!
Here’s the whole sleek gallery
Peachtree’s Lighthouse
I like Japanese builder Peachtree’s creations (blog and Brickshelf) because, like large vignettes, each one contains a lot of detail in a very small space. Peachtree’s latest project, a lighthouse, is no exception:
Crime doesn’t pay, but neither does farming these days!
Here is a supervig o’ my own! George is a disgruntled farmer who has decided to try another line of work:
Here is George and his cat:
His unfortunate victim:
And the Bringer of Conseguences:
The temporarily insane gallery!
Malle Hawking Completes U.S.S. Harry S. Truman
Just in time for Memorial Day here in the United States, Malle Hawking has completed his LEGO version of CVN-75, U.S.S. Harry S. Truman.
For more details, see Malle Hawking’s LEGO aircraft carrier here on The Brothers Brick.
Congratulations to Malle on the completion of this amazing ship. As Spacers say, this is quite a S.H.I.P. (Seriously Huge Investment in Parts)!
Daihatsu Three-Wheeler by Hitahita-05
hitahita-05 has built a sweet little Daihatsu Midget:
The use of the motorcycle as a front wheel really grabbed my attention. Who would have thought that new piece would work so well? This little creation is full of excellent building techniques and looks really good too! Overall, a very elegant creation.
Take a gander at the Midget gallery
Mmmm... Tasty, tasty nooooodles...
I featured Antony Lau’s wonderful “maxifig” creations back in December, and he continues to post new creations, from people to vehicles.
His latest vehicle seems to be a noodle truck, and I love noodles. Antony’s truck makes me hungry for phad thai, udon, chow mein, soba, pho, ramen — you get the idea:
Coppers
Following up on his Moonshiners, Brickshelfer taltosVT has posted a pair of “coppers” with their phone box and classic police car:
Moonshiners
With the Tommy gun in the new Batman sets, a spate of Prohibition-era LEGO creations seems inevitable.
I think Nathan Cunningham was the first to put the Tommy gun to use with his 30’s thug, but taltosVT has built a moonshine still, two moonshiners, and the wheels they’ll need to haul their illicit “hillbilly pop” to buyers:
Hidaka Tickles the Ivories
I made an electric piano last summer that I thought was pretty original, though it turned out Brickshelf user lcon21 had posted a grand piano design that used the same technique. Great minds think alike?
Anyway, another Brickshelf user, hidaka, has posted an even more realistic piano:
Not a big deal so far, right? Well, look a little closer:
Minifig Existentialists and a Bagpipe
Michael Jasper never ceases to amuse and amaze me. Today’s update to his Characters gallery includes Jean-Peal Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir:
I was also recently struggling with a way to make a LEGO bagpipe for one of my Canterbury Tales minifigs. Michael saves the day with this wonderful Scotsman:
Buildings of the World by Arthur Gugick
I don’t normally post buildings, but these are too good to pass up. (Unfortunately, as Kevoh warns in his Golden Shpleem post, the image sizes are monstrous; broadband highly recommended before clicking any of the thumbnails in the galleries I’ve linked to below.)
Here are nine of my favorites. There are nine more in Arthur’s Brickshelf gallery.
The Arc d’Triumph, Big Ben, Chichen Itza:
The Flatiron Building, the Forbidden City, Independence Hall:
Notre Dame Cathedral, the Tower of London, the Leaning Tower of Pisa:
