Brickshelf user nias has posted a really cool wheelchair:
I like the construction technique nias uses for the wheels:

“The Bachelor Pad” by Nelson Yrizarry
Nelson Yrizarry adds to his collection of fantastic vignettes with his latest — “The Bachelor Pad:”
From the shag carpeting and lime-green couch to the wood-panelled wall and lava lamp, this vignette has it all!
On Vacation – A Political Cartoon
Here’s a little political cartoon I created a couple weeks ago.
“The president responds to one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history…by staying on vacation for a couple more days.”
In the last week, this has started circulating:
The similarity is striking, no?
A Dog, a Turtle, an Old Guy in a Wheelchair, and a Lady at the Beach
Brickshelf user Michael Jasper is a master of using minifig-hands in unusual ways. I’m not quite sure what he updated in his sundries folder, but these jumped out at me today:
I especially like his beach scene (note the bikini top):
Monster Rides
I haven’t taken pictures of anything this last week or so, but I ran across these wonderful cars a while ago on Brickshelf:
The perfect rides for my new favorite minifigs.
Check out the rest of mrzumbi’s gallery. Not a lot in terms of quantity, but he’s made some amazing stuff — I’m honestly shocked that the hit counts on his creations are so low. Doesn’t make sense, given how good they are…
Minifigs from 1900
Patrick Bosman has created several fantastic minifigs reminiscent of the turn of the last century. Patrick demonstrates that the accessories are often as important as the minifigs themselves:
Edit (9/9/05): Here are a couple more I think he’s added recently:
The lace on the maid’s skirt is truly a unique use of the flower!
Oh, and sorry about the Japanese last week. I was in a weird mood. Heh heh.
Pump up the volume!
Following on the heels of last week’s Electric Piano, I created a turntable:
The turntable has a working arm, spinning record, green LED screen, and a pair of mini-speakers — all built with exactly ten pieces.
Electric Piano
I enjoy creating minifig versions of the bands and musicians I like, but the only instruments I’d given them so far were very basic guitars. To remedy that, I’ve created what I think is one of my best non-minifig creations in a very long time — an electric piano:
The piano has keys, a music stand, foot pedals, and three legs:
The black keys are hinge pieces and the white keys are 1×1 plates (the latter my wife’s idea). I particularly like how the legs look as though they have casters.
