It's Only a Flesh Wound!

Sadly, I must admit I've never watched Monty Python. But that's the quote that came to mind when I saw this.

Accidents Happen, by cmaddison
Everything is so perfect here, the wall, the soldier's expressions, and the broken wheel. Oh, and the squished soldier. But that's a little morbid, right? Right? *echo*

Sigh. Ah well, it's still hilarious!

STG Fighter/Bomber

Red Spacecat's newest creation is heavy, tough, and awesome. While I am disappointed to say I am too young to have seen Classic Space around, I absolutely love it. The blue/ (traditionally) lt. grey go so well together, and when a builder puts them together well it's a beautiful MOC that is the result.

A squadron of these over a city would be a terrifying sight. I'd certainly be indoors in a bunker.

The Lonely House

Olive green is a wonderful thing. The olive green trees here, for instance, help give the atmosphere a darker feel in my opinion, but still keep it looking alive. I love the juxtaposition of the hard-working man carrying the logs versus the man sitting against the fence drinking wine. Hilarious!

Brick Vader's The Lonely House














That axe technique is perfect. I'm going to have to remember that.

Weeelllll....

It looks like we have some catching up to do. And so here we go.

Wiseman_Lego's Vega General Purpose Ship
















Great angles going on here, and the mid section breaks up the white/ orange sections beautifully.

Toltomeja's Senneora





















That rockwork must have been so tedious, but it's so good. And the angles going on with the castle on it are just awesome.

Pasukaru's T-74















Complexity isn't everything, as Pascal so nicely demonstrates here.

Sergeant Chipmunk's Learning the Trade
Learning the Trade

Rockwork is something I struggle with, so I was very happy to see this beautiful example of it in my contacts this morning.

Nate Decastro's Vic Viper BP - 5963














Since it's Nnovvember, how could I not include a Vic Viper? I confess I've never played any games with VVs in them, but this is one sweet starfighter. The splash of orange for the cockpit is great.


And with that, we wrap up this week's "catch-up" post... hopefully there won't be another.

Leonardo Da Brick: Bases and Borders







Leonardo Da Brick: Bases and Borders: Have you ever wondered how the top builders get that "finished" look? Well, this guide will help you build your own unique and mas...

J-Rod Smith posted this very interesting tutorial on Bases and Borders, I was honored to have some of my mocs as examples.  He did a fantastic job, check it out!

The Throne Room

Some crazy awesome details here. The wall, the throne, but the candlestick blows me away. Just take a look, see for yourself.
















Beautiful, Digger1221.
