Designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge spans the Trinity river in Dallas, Texas.  And that's what I thought I was looking at until I figured out Lia Chan had built a replica out of LEGO.  I suppose it was due to the tricky ground-level angles of the photos, in addition to the dizzying array of white flex tubes.  Impressive!

Builder Chris McVeigh has taken advantage of some new parts and building techniques to update his excellent little model of the classic Nintendo Entertainment System. Makes me want to play a little Super Mario Brothers or Legend of Zelda, in all their 8-bit glory. The 2.0 building guide is available know at chrismcveigh.com Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The Imperial All-Terrain Scount Transport, aka AT-ST, aka Chicken Walker, has some seriously scrawny legs, which is precisely why it has such an unfortunate nickname. But it also gives it a distinct look, and that look is hard to capture in LEGO, at least with dependable standing AND pose ability (you can pick one). This version by Rogue Bantha is in midi scale, and captures the scrawniness in perfect form. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Sad Brick hopefully made someone feel happy by unveiling this lovely pot of flowers. My absolute favorite thing about this creation is the use of minifigure capes as the shaping of the flower and its pedals. This photograph is also a wonderful mix of LEGO and household objects, since the builder used an actual pot to complete the MOC! Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

Instead of waiting for the heavily rumored return of the UCS Millennium Falcon, builder K Yousef took matters into his own hands and crafted his own. And while it might be a bit smaller than the UCS, this one has a pretty decked out interior. Click through for more pictures of everyone's favorite piece of junk. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It's always fun when a builder steps out of their comfort zone and takes on a new theme. It's especially fun when they bring in a little of another genre, or go full on mashup. Builder Dwalin Forkbeard dealves into space with a steampunky rocket ship in which victorians would have been proud to break the atmosphere. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

What a whimsical and wonderful image by builder Grant Davis. A fairytale classic, Jack ascending the beanstalk to find the giant's castle. If not for that familiar texture in the background you'd hardly know it was LEGO. I knew when the seed part of this round of Iron Builder was revealed we'd see some interesting stuff, but the creativity on this round has been off the scale.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Like so many films of the 80's, E.T. helped shape me as a filmmaker and artist. It's a remarkable story told by an army of exceptionally talented artists. This wonderful diorama by builders ~The Steads~ depicts the uplifting but heartbreaking end of the movie, when E.T. says goodbye to Eliot and his family and climbs aboard his ride home. Admit it, you cried. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
