Dead end of the track
Maciej Drwiega from LUGPol presents a differently flavored train creation, one that depicts the more run-down end of things. Check out this small scene of a decaying flatbed train on an abandoned rail.
Fully functional Beauty and the Beast LEGO music box
It’s not uncommon for us to use trite phrases in the title of our posts, but this time we mean it literally. Check out this microsized vignette by edulyoung from the ballroom scene of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The vignette also functions as a real-working music box, in which components from an actual music box where modified to fit with LEGO parts. Check out how it all works in the gallery on Brickshelf.
UPDATE: Joel over at BB Gadgets created an embeddable version of Edul’s video, which is absolutely gorgeous:

“This chamber has been replaced with a live fire course designed for military androids. The Enrichment Center apologizes for the inconvenience and wishes you the best of luck.”
I am admittedly a Valve fanboy, and I especially love Portal, the acclaimed puzzle game originally bundled with The Orange Box. When I saw this vignette my Mister_007 featuring one of those child-like (and lethal) turrets, I had to blog it immediately. And remember, the turrets don’t hate you.
Favorite runners-up from the GO MINIMAN GO Photo Contest
LEGO fans submitted nearly a hundred entries to the GO MINIMAN GO Photo Contest, which made choosing the Grand Prize, First Prize, and Second Prize winners very hard.

Fabuland, check! Maxi-figs, check! Retro car, check! This diorama by Aaron Andrews includes so many nostalgic elements, I’m about to pop! Plastic Revolution indeed.
