This year's BrickWorld saw an extensice lineup of especially well-crafted LEGO Armored Fighting Vehicles. The "cyberpunk" setting allotted these guys some creative license, there are enough flashy futuristic bits to make them stand out from the run-of-the-mill stuff that occupies much of the near-future military genre.

Here's the same vehicles participating in a brikwars game, the venue is the Pennsylvania LEGO Users Group.
Carter and Forest put together this gritty diorama, I took a moment to pose one of my Verticals for a good show.

Real World Starfighter Contest
The "Real World" Starfighter contest provides an interesting opportunity for sci-fi builders to dabble with aesthetics far removed from the gunned up darts that proliferate the genre.
P. Fieschi's is a great example, his concept presents a product of an arms race gone too far. Spherical parts are used to a great effect, as with all of Pierre's models the "Hercules" maintains a high level-of-detail.
"The nuke was a self
propelled Monster of destruction, about 4 or 5 times the size of the
Apollo module itself. In the end, officials had no idea what to do
with this horrifying piece of engineering that went far beyond
mutually assured destruction. For the sake of mankind, the project was
discontinued, and the 'Emperor' nuke was fired at the sun."
The contest runs until the end of next month, get building!
