Back in the good ol' days of flight, every journey was a perilous and daring adventure that lead to new discoveries and innovation. There were no commercial flights with terrible airplane food (some might consider them to be lucky then) and aviation only existed in the minds of dreamers and builders. Tino Poutiainen honors these brave inventors that risked their lives in this wonderful depiction of a prototype airplane with details in all the right places.

So, I bought Voltron! My son and I put him together the other night. Took us about three hours; we both built an arm and a leg, then I 'supervised' the Black lion. I've been driving my wife crazy referring to him by some of his lesser known titles, like Voltron: Defender of the Coffee Machine, and Voltron: Defender of the Dining Room Table. You get the idea... I won't bore you with all the construction details, other than that this set is put together. I mean solid. None of the old move-him-around-a-little and stuff starts falling off. Nope, you've got technic in there, angled plates top and bottom locking together, practically everything is double reinforced for strength. Old Lendy wasn't messing around! Defender of the Coffee Machine! Defender of the Refrigerator! Defender of the Fireplace! Defender of the Barbecue! It's on! Grrrrrrrr Don't get me wrong, though. It's by no...
This robot by jigsawjo really caught my eye with its perfect color for a backdrop and it's elegant style. Eye love the mix of organic and artificial features and iris-pect the intricate details that went into the body of this vision-ary creation. Ok, I might have to stop with the eye puns, if they get any cornea than this, everybody is going to lash out at me. Original linkOriginal author: Andrew Eden
For as long as we've been building machines to go reasonably fast, there's been a select few who make them go unreasonably fast. And with the invention of the internal combustion engine, the speed (and the stakes) got even higher, and we've been fascinated since. Like this scene marvelously recreated by builder Pixeljunkie of 1929 Monoco Grand Prix featuring his beautiful Bugatti, the crowd loves it. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
Take a good look at this landscape and tell me if there's anything that stands out? If you said the Killer Croc big fig used to create the hill then congratulations! You won absolutely nothing! (Unless you count knowledge which is the most valuable gift that I could give to you). It's MOCs like these that remind me why I love the Lego community so much. There are so many creative people out there and every Lego piece can be interpreted differently by each builder to come up with something amazing and unique. This temple by dzambito42 is a perfect example of this, and it just goes to show that all you need to create something truly mind-blowing is a little imagination.
