I woke up this morning to this lovely hotel by Kris Kelvin. Its a beautiful scene and I really like those cars!

Prettier than a panda
Cheyne Potter (AfroEngineer) posted this cute little plane based on concept art in the Classic-Space.com concept art gallery.
The minifig has hair from one of the upcoming Town sets, so it looks like those sets should be more widely available soon!
While we’re at it, check out Cheyne’s ingenious use of blue chairs as water in this scene:
EH-191 Whirlwind military chopper by Aleksander Stein
A LEGO military model you probably can’t buy is this dark green beauty by Aleksander Stein.
The helicopter can seat ten minifigs (2 crew, 8 troops) and has internal lighting. I find the unique shape of the blades particularly noteworthy.

Got my diesel wound up and she’s runnin’ like never before
This one fooled me. Yup, I thought it was picture of the real truck. This Volvo F12 4×2 by tito-anakin is pretty sweet. Just the right amount of detail to give this rig the real life touch. Keep Truckin’!
Chris Blessing’s utility truck keeps the lights on
Chris Blessing (Mdrn~Mrvls) recently posted a power company truck or “cherry-picker.” The truck is seven studs wide, and can therefore seat two minifigs side by side in the cab — impossible in a four-stud-wide vehicle and a tough fit at six. I’m a sucker for vehicles with lots of compartments, and the brick-built doors are also a nice touch.
See more pictures of Chris’s on Flickr and MOCpages.
Dasnewten’s Taiidan Gunship lets us imagine a LEGO Homeworld game
Rob (Dasnewten) has built a gorgeous gunship inspired by ships in Homeworld:
With brick-built numbers, tank treads on the cannon, and truly complex SNOT on the cockpit, Rob’s gunship is an amazing LEGO creation. The fact that it’s inspired by Homeworld is just a minor bonus.
Best tip of the week, Carter!
I Actually Really Do Like Cars.
I made an April Fools Day post saying that I was only going to blog cars, because they were the only creations I liked anymore. That wasn’t entirely a fabrication, as I really do like cars.
This red affair by Allister McClaren (Captain_Underpants), for instance, is quite nice. It looks like a cross between a race car from the 60s, like the Chaparral 2J and a modern supercar.
The TreeHugger 8000 caresses our arboreal friends
No less industrial (or lime) than a Power Miners vehicle, Aleksander Stein‘s TreeHugger 8000 looks ready to roar into a forest and cart off the raw materials for all those disposable chopsticks, paper napkins, and sticky notes in your house.
Now, doesn’t that make you happier that LEGO is made from hydrocarbons?
Aleksander has incorporated lots of nice details in this logging apparatus, including an excellent brick-built warning stripe on the crane, so don’t miss his TreeHugger 8000 photoset on Flickr.

LEGO Power Miners tractor by Tekka Croe
With a distinct, heavy industrial feel, this Power Miners tractor by Tekka Croe looks like it could crush boulders with its treads alone:
Note the orange Bionicle mask as a cargo compartment on the back.
“Oh yes” indeed.
Pokalübergabe chugs into your nightmares (with bonus Starscream)
Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) has captured the moment when a rather scary beastie emerges from a train tunnel. I’m not sure what this little scene means, but I think it’s pretty cool.
While we’re at it, here’s Alex’s latest LEGO Transformers mech, Starscream:
