Blok-head

MDI69_Blokhead Aaron Williams is fast becoming my favorite mecha builder. His textures are superb, as are the destails. He's really found a way to make LEGO elements look functional.

"Hephaestus"
Here's one of those instances where size is something to be appreciated. I normally find small weapons on large ships tacky, and I was about to overlook the Hephaestus' armaments, but their integration into the hull with 1 x 6 x 2 arches is quite a feat. The textures Nathaniel puts to uses are smart, too:"Hephaestus"

This blue guy by Danny Rice is one of the best examples of large-scale LEGO spaceship-building. See it on Brickshelf. Notice how both these ships are a color other than grey! Colors, folks!
Gaia [Racer Varient]
At Young Spacers, we love racers. This space racer is another great model by Nathaniel. The bubble canopies on both of Nathaniel's works featured here are a nice nod to the PCS and Eastern Bloc .SPACE factions of yesteryear.

Where've ya been

Weaver2. I recognize Brian Kescenovitz's style has being characteristically "chunky", but his latest mecha looks to have a lot of air between its panels and plates. I think it's great—thanks to the low volume-weight ratio, the model can bear an intimidating silhouette while looking nimble.

Jacob
Occasional driving force of the blog, self-proclaimed Lukas fanboy, and aspiring engineer, Jacob spends too much time building LEGO, not enough time practicing piano, and not nearly enough time doing school. He also enjoys long sentences. In the instance of blogging, he believes in quantity over quality, wherever quantity can be maintained.
Mike
One of the cofounders of YSAB, and the founder of YSA, Observing Mike actually being productive is a rare occasion. Mike enjoys making outlandish claims in relation to actually building, pretending he's actually sorting his collection, and making excuses for why he hasn't photographed his MOCs. In his free time he enjoys learning CSS from Spook, photography and poking badgers with spoons.
Dean
Occasional builder, occasional blogger, and full-time procrastinator. That's really the only way to describe Dean. He rarely gets anything done, but is a very active lurker. He's probably seen and liked your MOC, but just forgot he had a blog.
Erik
Erik is still a teenager.
Lukas
Lukas is tall, blond, mildly OCD, and doesn't build nearly enough as he would like to, thanks to school. He has a webpage.
Spook (Tim)
The resident codemonkey and graphics person. If something isn't working correctly, it's probably his fault. Fitting to his name, he doesn't post often, but someone has to do this stuff too, right? Spook does build with laygoes, and has his own blog as well.
