Dylan Denton made this. It’s awesome and red. I will only distract you from looking at the picture so I’ll be quiet now.

Karwik hits the road
Karwik’s chopper is a little beauty. It embodies the main element of a good build: Simplicity. It has clever parts use but doesn’t overdo it. All too often builders keep tacking bits onto a build and don’t know when to stop. Karwik does and it shows.
A force to be reckoned with
Andrew Somers shows off his skills with his latest build, the Python. With this tank, he is ready to take on the world.
NASA’s newest Mars rover, Curiosity, created in LEGO form.
Tim Goddard has built an excellent model of NASA’s rover, Curiosity. The details on the rover itself are incredible and the martian landscape jumps right out at you!
All the lovely angles
This space fighter by Jake has a refreshing feel to it. Not only is it loaded with some really nicely-played angles, but the builder has elected to show the studs. With so many builders going for the studless look, it is nice to see someone embrace the studs.
Armoured ECM vehicle
Karf Oohlu just rolled out this bad boy and it is covered in greebly goodness. While I really like the use of the dump truck bed as the armored shell, it is all the bits on the top that make this something special.
LEGO CT-37 from Disney’s TaleSpin
Curtydc has built a nifty version of Don Karnage’s TriWing Terror from TaleSpin. It is fun-looking plane and has a rather SkyFi feel to it. I also hear that it is quite swooshable.
LEGO Scania 142 Wrecker
Bricksonwheels has a well-deserved reputation for building beautifully crafted trucks, cars and motorcycles. However, even the best trucks break down some times. “The Mighty Thor” will be on the scene in no time. This wrecker includes all the details that we’ve come to expect from this builder. It includes side hatches, safety cones, three-stage stinger and a crane. The chrome bits are always nice too.
The Pallada
Yo-Sub Joo doesn’t tend to write very involved descriptions, so the details of this build are rather vague. But after a brief run about the internet, I found that this is the Russian tall ship Pallada. There is not a lot of information available, but apparently it is used for sail-training. She is definitely a knockout of a ship and this build more than does her justice.
Light Steam Landship Mk. LXIII
We haven’t had many Steampunk builds on here lately. It about time for one. This Landship is a sort of cross-country locomotive and looks like it packs quite the punch. I especially like the side-mounted turrets. I’m sure Beau Donnan intended it, but they remind me of the guns on the British “Mark” series of World War I tanks.
LEGO Morgan Plus 8
Brixe63 has just posted a very nicely done Morgan Plus 8. I’ve always had a soft spot for these cars and this brick-built version doesn’t disappoint. But of all the nice techniques in it, I think the use of sprues for the bumper is my favorite.
Sand Baron sky-fi flying wing by Chrispockst
What I like the most about Chrispockst’s Sand Baron flying wing is that he went out of his way to use all kinds of what he calls “un-useful/unusual parts” that work well together to make this thing look like a chunky behemoth.
I especially love the huge off-angle engines around the low sleek cockpit.
