I won't bother to summarize Bricksonwheels excellent history of the famous Bentley Le Mans racer from 1930, but I will say that I couldn't believe it was LEGO from the thumbnail on Flickr.  All that dark green!   He built it like the real car, from the chassis up.  He's got some nice custom stickers on there, and chrome where appropriate.  There's even a rubber tarp over the back seat.  Sir Henry Birkin must have had a blast!

I'm going to pretend that this lovely floating treehouse dwelling by Brother Steven is actually an AirBnB that anyone can rent, including me. And I'd like to book it immediately for at least a couple night's stay. I don't know exactly how I'll get there, perhaps I'll rig my new Airstream with dirigible capabilities (hey, if he can have a floating treehouse I can have a floating RV, it's only fair) Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Last year’s LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) is a pretty nice set and was popular with the fans and it looks like we have another larger scale character to look forward to. An Ukrainian online shop has listed a new LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) that we can expect soon. The details of the set are still unknown at this time but we can see it does have an opening mouth as one of the play features. It also comes with the UCS-style plaque for the Porg. **Promobricks** The post LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) Revealed appeared first on The Brick Fan.

If I could choose one mythical creature to ride, I'm pretty sure this Bretonnian Griffon by MarcelV. would be pretty high up on my list. The techniques used for the feet are just perfect and the rest of the body gives a sense of strength and power to this creature. Also, there's just something about these majestic beasts that inspires pride and gives a sense of loyalty that very few other creatures do. Forget about man's best friend, this griffon is a knight's best friend and I can think of no other creature that I'd rather fly into battle with. Huzzah! Original linkOriginal author: Andrew Eden

There's a new sheriff in town, and he's clearly not taking any crap from anyone. Meet sheriff Takamori, from builder dviddy, the law is on his side so be careful. This is a prefect mix of Bionicle, Technic and System, all coming together for a masterfully rendered character. My favorite detail has to be the opposing white bevel gears for teeth, brilliant.

The Rolls-Royce UltraFan – The Ultimate Jet Engine by Dancodd is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Containing over 20,000 parts, it is a replication of Rolls-Royce UltraFan jet engine that looks pretty good. The project now joins a number of other projects in the Second 2018 Review Stage including the SpaceX Falcon Heavy, International Space Station, SpaceX – The Ultimate Collection, Steamboat Willie, and M&M’s Chocolate Candy Dispenser.

I live in California, which has missions dotted all the way up the coast (literally, the Spanish Empire built them walking distance from each other), and very strong Spanish aesthetic and cultural influences. So this excellent monastery by soccerkid6 feels familiar and "local". Plus I'm a sucker for Spanish tile roofs, I'm sitting under one right now in my house. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Listen up kids. In my day video games were hard, and had simple graphics none of this 'you can beat it in 3 hours first play' nonsense. You had to practice and work at it, and we liked it that way!  I have fond memories of playing Pitfall and Combat on my Aunt's Atari 2600 as a child. Builder Jarekwally has expertly captured the venerable classic in bricks. The addition of the distressed photo effects is a very nice touch on this picture. Oh the retro feels.

Having years ago climbed up the steps of El Castillo at Chichen Itza, I hazard that Karl Pilkington has yet to visit the pyramids located on the Yucatan peninsula. Had he, Ricky Gervais' bumbling friend may find many of the stone marvels there not quite as disappointing up close as their distant Egyptian cousins. In this impressive creation by Przemysław Czarnik, lush jungle foliage and draping vines help capture the details found in the myriad of Mesoamerican step-pyramids located throughout Central and South America.  Original linkOriginal author: Will Nickelson
