I love a good airplane model, especially biplanes. In freshman engineering I built a biplane for a project that I was told no one had built a biplane for, and the professor wasn’t sure it would work. It flew wonderfully. Prolific LEGO aircraft builder John Lamarck has posted a beautiful Blackburn B-6 Shark. Like many aircraft developed in the interwar years it did not have a long service life as developments happened rapidly in aviation in that time period. My only quibble is the inter-wing struts should be on an angle in the front view and not vertical, but that is likely driven more by the scale and medium. Original linkOriginal author: Michael J
As Halloween approaches I expect more and more spooky MOCs to appear in my Flickr feed, happens every year. Well, more and more that are supposed to be spooky, but this is genuine nightmare fuel by builder Karf Oohlu. Meet Nyarlethotep, the messenger to the outer gods, and say goodby to any chance of a good night’s sleep for a while. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
One of the most jaw-dropping works of animation I’ve ever seen is the tale of Three Brothers from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it’s a masterpiece of production design, lighting and animation. Builder Nuju Metro stunned us all earlier this year with his Three Brothers build, inspired by that animation, and now he’s back with a micro scale version of that MOC. Even small enough to fit in your hand it’s absolutely amazing. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
Howdy partner. You look pretty fast on the draw, are you? You fast enough to beat tkel86’s Western Shootout? Using LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and a big imagination, Alexis built an arcade style shooting game, and it’s awesome. So put on your chaps and hat and check out the video to see it in action!

Fun fact, I once nearly died in a Black Hawk. True story. Good times. Equally fun fact, I do volunteer search and rescue (SAR) work. So when I came upon Robsom M's beautiful build of a USCG MH-60T Jayhawk, well, all my boxes were checked. A variant of the Sikorsky H-60 Black Hawk, the MH-60T is the venerable workhorse of USCG SAR. Many people owe their lives to the brave men and women of USCG aviation that put it all on the line to save others and this MOC is a perfect tribute to all those Coasties.
