This has never happened before. I'm at an event, I see an amazing creation, I meet the builder, and during the event itself, the builder publishes a picture and gives me the link. I've walked past this stunning and unique MOC of the mascot for Communidade 0937 several times and it captivates me every time. The entire interior structure of this is lightsaber blades, captured in a frame. For the display it's backlit too, making it even more magical. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

On the sunny central coast of California we enjoy a fairly bug-free life. Sure, there are trillions of them, but they really don't bother us, few bite or sting, and most are so small they go unnoticed. So, I think if I saw one of these in real life I might have a mini heart attack, even if they are completely harmless. A brilliant MOC by Grant Davis. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The source of inspiration for a MOC can vary wildly. It can be from a favorite movie, a childhood memory, a cherished aspect of life or just your imagination. Sometimes it's as simple as seeing something and thinking "I can build that". That's the spark of inspiration that led to this outstanding mech from LEGO's own Lee Magpili. He saw an illustration by the very talented Ian Sta. Maria and thought just that, and the results speak for themselves. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Jigsawjo continues to amaze with this clever vignette, aptly titled Christiansen Park. The most striking thing here is of course the rubber band trees and bushes which look surprisingly realistic - a very NPU style that I expect to see often in the future. I could imagine a much larger park inside of a microscale layout still looking great in this style. Original linkOriginal author: Kodiak Sanders

Simon NH takes a break from showing us techniques, and instead reveals an entry for the Summer Joust medieval building challenge hosted over on Fickr. This medieval church is truly well done, incorporating an interesting choice of colors for the stonework. Though the church has a clean appearance, it still seems to appear as if it were standing on this hill for easily 100 years. You truly must zoom in to fully appreciate this building, so that you can find all sorts of hidden NPU examples, like the use of the standard row boats. Very well done, Simon! Looking forward to possibly some more medieval buildings from you soon. Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner
