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

Tiny, little buffalos roaming a prairie. Another wonderfully creative model from Grantmasters, with a rather unique parts usage that adds just the right amount of texturing and shaping to these animals. What's even more impressive is the fact that he was able to get the shaping and include the horns for these beasts, not an easy task for this miniature style. However, thanks to Chima, he was able to accomplish this task! Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

There's nothing Mr. Mechtorian enjoys more than a large social gathering, and BrickWorld Chicago is the perfect place. After all, that snake oil isn't going to sell itself. This wonderfully whimsical MOC by builder Ted Andes combines the style of steampunk with the shenanigans of a shyster.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Builder dvdliu proposes an interesting scenario. What if two lunar explorers were to meet up for a friendly vehicle exchange? We have a classic Apollo type lunar rover, and a very retro spaceship, personally speaking I think the ship is probably more fun, but I'd have a blast taking either for a spin.

Being a victim of the continual commercial assault that is American television, I'm afraid the first thing I think of when I hear the name Captain Morgan is some goofball in a bar lifting his leg awkwardly to show his allegiance to a spiced rum. But this excellent MOC by builder Jacob Nion has nothing to do with that, but rather the story of the unfortunate end of Benjamin Morgan, you can read all about it here.
