The Summer Joust contest is generating some amazing LEGO builds in a variety of categories. Talented multi-theme builder David Zambito‘s entry in the “Mesoamerican Setting” category depicts an Aztec-style temple overgrown with foliage. While the well-built temple is the center of the scene, the landscaping also deserves your attention. The plants are built not just from actual LEGO foliage pieces like bushes, bamboo, and flowers, but also from the plastic sprues that three-leaf plants come in, as well as street sweeper brushes. If you like this Aztec-style pyramid, you might also like the Maya-style LEGO pyramid we featured previously.

Disney’s Donald Duck first graced the silver screen back in 1934, and he looks pretty good for being 84 years old! Donald’s claim to fame is his really short temper, but he is also known for cruising down the streets in his small curvy red car. Oliver Becker decided to build this car for his Donald minifigure, and the two look practically made for each other. In particular, Oliver’s model does a great job of capturing the exaggerated curves of the animated car. He has also packed a lot of detail into such a small space, including flared headlights, interior upholstery, and even the iconic rear rumble seat (also known as a dickey). The white tires feel authentic to the source material, and they were only ever available in a single Spongebob Squarepants set from 2008.

It looks like the cat is out of the bag for the “top secret” LEGO James Bond set that will be coming out soon. The Budapest LEGO Certified Store has posted a pre-order page for the LEGO Creator Aston Martin DB5 (10262) which confirms all of the teasers that LEGO and Aston Martin has been pushing out the past few weeks. It has a release date of August 8 but but I’m assuming that it’ll be the July 18 for the VIP Early Access set. Stay tuned as the official announcement will be coming soon.

The release of the new 21042 LEGO Statue of Liberty set has seen a whole bunch of parts become available in Sand Green for the first time. Peter Reid takes advantage of the new range to put together this cool futuristic tank. The shaping is excellent, and the level of detail and texture crammed into such a small creation is impressive. The backdrop is simple, but provides a nice setting for the central model, and the addition of track marks in the sand behind the vehicle is a lovely touch. You can read more about the creation of this model over at parts-focused blog New Elementary here. The post Sand green tank conquers the sands appeared first on The Brothers Brick.
