I wanted to do something classic after my first micro castle, & close to the contest base restrictions. Man this model was really hard to photograph with a point & shoot camera >=(

Notoriously over-armed and under-powered, Blacktron's Wild Boars caused considerable havoc in the Despol Quarter. Despite being ridiculously slow, they were so well armoured that local security forces found themselves completely emptying their ordinance stocks into the Boars without it having the desired effect of stopping them.
(Been influenced by the recent "Space punk" style of the alien ships in SP3)
Greetings all! This was built for the Flag Your Kingdom Contest on Classic-Castle.
This build was quite fun to create, especially since I've never done anything oriental before. I was very pleased with how the small dojo turned out. Also, I don't think anyone has used the tile technique I used for the bridge (to create a smooth bridge). Credits for the water technique, however, go to Isaac S.
While I do like walking tank style mechs with heavy weaponry and thick boxy armor, I sometimes feel like there are many unexplored aesthetics within the mecha genre. I thought it would be fun to do a mech with more organic elements and no guns.

Inspired by Tom Green. Jusk kidding. Or am I?...
This one started off really chunky and with awkward angles so I just went with it rather than try to smooth them out. Kinda feel like my last couple of Vic Vipers have diminished in quality so I might quit while I'm behind. If I have another brainwave for NoVVember I'll build it in the next week but I think I'm done. What a blast!
So, what's next month???
Escaping from the tomb and putting someone else in their place.
Rather than quoting Bible verses you're going to hear a whole lot today and half of you will discredit as cult utterances, I thought I'd just put this out instead: Angels, Heaven, and other aspects of our faith are concepts difficult to wrap one's head around, and right now we can't. So a lot of people dismiss them as petty imaginings and larger-than-life reflections of things we can see and touch. "Giant humans with bird wings? Haha how pagan."
Consider, just for a brief while, the implications of perhaps these being original concepts; our concepts and ideas little reflections that are missing pieces, and the only way those who saw angels or Heaven could describe them was through Earthly terms, resulting in outrageous-sounding descriptions filled with lions' heads, wheels within wheels, and a lot of gold when there simply was no way to utter the element that made their appearance unutterable. Plato, though not completely right, had hit on something with his Myth of the Cave, now you just need someone to guide you out of it...
This brief little build is also destined to be an entry for FLONAPRIL, it seems: www.flickr.com/groups/flonapril/
Here is the complete collab I made with John during my last visit. He has an immersive edit in his stream.
As the title indicates, it was inspired by the boardgame Everdell.
More images showing all the details are available on Brickbuilt.

For the Iron Mecha challenge. Usually use natural light for these and being the shortest day of the year this week there has not been a lot. I also have a BL order with a few extra bits for this and a white one that must have been delayed by the ash cloud from Chile. So this will have to do!
FebRovery Day 7
M:Tron Speeder bike was one of the most popular vehicles to zip around.
Apparently I lack an M:Tron minifig, so I made one as best as I could.
Dodos are Ostricheans favorite XS trucks. they are fast, light with good cargo capacity and extremely cheap. Not to mention they are space worthy! Get one now at your Dodo dealer!!
Yeah, so it happened. I used wheels as engines. Even more, technically biggest Lego wheels ever, not counting tyres of course.
So I built an M113. On the surface it might seem like a pretty simple build, but its not really. The front slope was a massive headache to get right. Credit to Ekjohnson for the idea, I was fiddling around with just the one half size plate forever until I saw your awesome model and thought to add the plate, if that makes any sense, haha.
I added some numbers on the side because that seemed like the cool thing to do, I guess. All in all a relatively quick build so I might post a rebuild in the next couple days once I get the time to really refine it. Until then, enjoy! And thanks for checking it out.
PS, check out my YouTube page. Just search 'Carpet Lego' on YouTube.
My entry to the Vignette category of the Summer Joust!

Enjoy!
I recently read William Gibson's Virtual Light and tried to make one of the futuristic, lightweight bicycles that are described in the novel. It didn't really work out, so I just made some Akira-type motorcycles instead.

Finally back to "building" I guess. I was kind of in a big hurry and this scene is very dependent on editing, still really like how it turned out nevertheless. I hope I can push out a real build soon as well.
In the Aquazone, the fight for control of the crystal mines doesn't always take place underwater. With the Aquanaut's NS2 and the Aquashark's DX5, the surface of the sea is just as fiercely contested.
These two speeders were created for the FBTB Themed Speeder Bike contest. These were designed for the Aquazone theme.
There are a load of these out there, but I thought I'd start to work on one too. The TMNT vehicle is there for scale reference.
Inspired by the District 9 movie and the other awesome renditions of this vehicle from these great builders: Guy Smiley flic.kr/p/Bkpeo8, Project Azazel flic.kr/p/gnBH6e, _Tiler flic.kr/p/AUFtk8.
This still has a bit of work to be done on it but the bones are there. It seats 4 minifigs inside and the doors are functional. I need some white mudguards (among other pieces) to get this in better shape but thought I'd share it as it stands for the moment :)
