Jerac has built some fantastic renditions of Warhammer 40K space marines. He’s built several marines, and given them a matching Landspeeder and Drednaught. I’m especially impressed with the way he came up with to render the trademark oversized space marine shoulder pauldrons.
Speaking of well-posed minifigs, 74louloute included lots of great details in this diorama inspired by the video game Red Dead Redemption
From the cow’s skull on the base to the miscreant kneeling on the roof, there’s a lot to love in this western scene.
I really dig this new starfighter model by Fredoichi. I really enjoy the color choices here, especially as they also correspond with a split between smooth curves and interesting texture. The ship looks perfectly sized, small enough to be able to hold in one hand and swoosh around, but big enough to hold a minifig. It doesn’t look like the inside of the cockpit has been detailed, which is a lost opportunity, but doesn’t take too much away from the rest of the craft.
It’s also the archetypal fighter from R-Type.
This stop-motion video by Alex Kobbs captures so many classic moments from StarCraft that I don’t know which is my favorite.
My copy of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
Bo King Wang (CREATION K.O Creation) thinks outside the 8-bit box and creates a 3D RPG battle depicting a band of heroes taking down an evil sorceress and her monster. The back panels feature two additional scenes that are also worth checking out. See them all in the gallery on Flickr.
The M6D Pistol is a favorite weapon of many Halo players back in the days of Halo: Combat Evolved. This life-sized rendition by Robo-Man is best I’ve seen. I particularly like the SNOT details and the utilization of studs on the grip.
While we wait for Brandon Bannerman (Catsy) to finish his Halo ringworld, he fills our quotient of micro video game locales with the Citadel from Mass Effect.
Of the presentation, Brandon says, “Shot in low light with two blacklights to make the trans-neon-orange elements fluoresce.” Nice.
(And don’t miss Ben Fellowes’ SSV Normandy.)
LEGO Chocobos were a bit of a fad a few years ago, but they were all based on the same design. Carl Merriam takes these key Final Fantasy characters to new LEGO heights, though it’s unclear why the big yellow guy isn’t allowed to roam free.

as, well, just another Portal turret if I hadn’t read
