No, not that Saturn, this one, the steam powered tug. It was the last one to see active duty in Germany until 1979, and now it's been artfully recreated by builder koffiemoc. The real Saturn has been restored and is residing in the Rostock Shipping Museum. This brick-built one is so well done it deserves a place right by it's side. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It takes one look at a classic Coca-Cola machine, a vintage radio or even a gas pump to see how we as humans used to really care about aesthetics. While modern design can be nice, a truly beautiful item is rare these days, and always celebrated, which makes me wonder why there isn't more beautiful stuff? Builder Norton74 gets it, and has crafted this vintage gas pump, which served a simple purpose, and looked good doing it. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Any kid that owned a Gameboy in the late 90's (so let's face it, most) recognizes these guys, it's the trainers from Pokemon Red and Blue, the ubiquitous monster catching role-playing game. It gives me great pleasure to present these as they come from a builder you might have heard of, Mr Kevin Hinkle himself. It's good to see you dabbling with the bricks Kevin.

Right now, as you read this, there are brave people people speeding at just under 5 miles a second approximately 250 miles up in what is essentially a bunch of bus-sized tubes connected together. The overall size is about a football field, in a never ending free fall around the planet. You can see it with the naked eye if you know where and when to look, and it just blows my mind. I'm talking about the International Space Station, and it's a wonder of human innovation and exploratory spirit. While this version by builder Jussi Koskinen is an order of magnitude smaller, it's still pretty amazing. The attention to detail is fantastic, and the presentation is stellar, pun intended.

Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and to a galaxy far, far away. Way back in 2012, a full year before BrickNerd was even a thing, builder 2 Much Caffeine crafted this charming rendition of the Lars homestead, at the time of Luke's fateful meeting of R2-D2 and C3PO. It's small, but it's awesome. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
