Venus Mantrap

I finally built something I thought it worthwhile to upload to Next-Gen and post on here.

In the late 21st century, an effort to terraform the moon went terribly wrong, flooding the atmosphere with high levels of Carbon Dioxide. This greatly encouraged plant life, even in the most rocky terrain, while proving dangerous to animal and human life. As plants grew in both size and range, any mutant breeds came into being. This small group of survivors has run afoul of one such specimen.

Post-fest poodlidoos

I am experiencing the lego fan equivalent of post-traumatic stress disorder; post-fest lack of excitement disorder! [See Nannan's photos for the whole run-down] It has been a slow two days since the conclusion of Brickworld for me, but not for others. Nick Dean, for example, has whipped out a sniper vignette that includes a not-yet-released brickarms weapon, the M21!
In other news, Jeremy, on flickr, made a lovely diorama for the post-apoc "Picking Up The Pieces" contest. Check out that mech!

The Case of Legohaulic

The case was an interesting one. I'd known for several years that he was running an operation under the alias "Legohaulic." Now he was back, with a still more mysterious plan. His newest schemes were incredibly detailed. Upon further investigation, I found a few possible leads:

His chairs were very luxurious, imported from Japan, "Moko" type.
The typewriter used for his original letter was of the "Mijasper" brand.
I managed to find a photograph of him and a lady who seemed to be one of his clients.

When I realized how the wastebasket was made, another piece of the puzzle fell into place: He was a master of disguise. What appeared to be a feather boa could actually be a rubber band. Said wastebasket could be an automobile grille.

It was an impressive array, to be sure. But what struck me most was how well it all fit together. I had a case.

INSECTOID ATTACK

I don't know what else to say. It's pretty self-explanatory.

Planet of the Exo-Apes

I just thought this vignette from Brickshelfer Y-Bros-K was worth a mention.
