On a Roll

If I blogged everything Peter Morris builds, there wouldn't be room for anything else. But the Eagle is a fine example of his increasingly refined work.



Back on Sunday.

All kinds of interesting

When jehkay posted this fighter a little while ago, I liked it enough, but the fastpacks he's added have me sold.

A LEGOspiracy

I'm seriously considering the idea that at some point, a bunch of Japanese builders got together and agreed to be better than everyone else.

Adrian Florea hasn't built Space for a little while, but he still has it.

... Military Mornings!

Have a look at the amazing job Aleksander Stein did with his Kamov Ka-66 'Tiger shark':



My favourite part is how awesome it is. But the mid section was a close second.

Little Plastic Death

TFOL McZargald has whipped out yet another in a line of creations of increasing quality.



This is a weaponized version of Chuck's racing mech

Mecha... mornings.

Let's start off this morning with a mean orange spidertank from scouzy.



I have little doubt that there is GITS influence here, which is a very good thing. This angle not only displays the well-placed hoses and sticker on the underside, but also gives a sense for how big this thing really is.

Check out this battle trike by martinbb:



I've always liked Martin's creations, and this is no exception. I especially like that he included the steering.

If you're looking for some spacey inspiration, check out the CSF Concept Art Gallery... -pool on flickr. Because he was having difficulties with their built-in gallery, Dan Rubin set up a flickr group and invites anyone with science fiction- or steampunk-related inspiration images to add them to the pool. Take a look!

And the blogging starts... NOW

There are nearly two hundred of you still checking here, so thank-you. My internet is better, I'm back from Brickcon, and most of my collection is sorted. Now feels like a good time to post.


(F40PH By Bill Ward)

Brickcon 2008 was great. I met a lot of really cool people, and I saw a lot of neat models. I had some interesting conversations with anyone unfortunate to acknowledge me, until they successfully shook me off during public hours. Some tidbits I learned at my first con:

- The public hours are total chaos, and should be avoided by ducking into one of the "Private Badge Areas" to listen to an interesting presentation.
- The best way to get around during public hours is by striding behind the tables, or, if you're feeling really cocky, in front of them.
- It is much easier to take pictures as a registered attendee than trying to get them from the visitor end of the stick.
- For that matter, consider taking your pictures five minutes before the doors open to the masses. That way, everything will be as ready as possible.

As I sort of promised, and way behind schedule, here are the galleries for the Space and Mecha layouts. Some of the pictures are a bit fuzzy, but I made a point of trying to get a picture of every single model in those categories. Enjoy!

Nnenn builds Sky-fi...again

And it's really quite beautiful.
