In Which We Blog Mulitple Items to Make up for Past Inactivity

XB-70 Valkyrie, a replica model of the experimental bomber aircraft by Justin Vaughn (aka Mainman):



A cool droid by Cameron, notice the use of basketball hoops:



Nathan Proudlove brings us a hip red moon buggy.



and if you haven't already

Yukikaze, I guess.

Zak Hale (AKA Chaos Unit 178) has built a MOC that, for the first time in quite a while, made me want to go blog it straightaway. As you can tell if you're reading this, I did.

And with the coming of summer...

Busy people like Nick Dean have the time to come out and build. Check out this passanger jet:

chk-chk-whirrr-CHUNK

Why is Alvaro Gunawan not in my contact list yet? I must do something about that. Have a look at this micro transformer he built:

Andrew is awesome.

I can no longer make "I BILDZ?!?!?" jokes, because I've actually been building quite a bit lately... But although I do love me some I Bildz jokes, I can recognize that it's a good thing overall to build more. Andrew is awesome. At least, as long as I build well. Andrew is awesome. I'll leave that up to you to decide. Andrew is awesome.

The Manticore will Mant your Core... wait, what?

I've been on a bit of a building kick lately, and today I finished a starfighter just in time for the "Show Us What You Got" contest that the Starfighters group on Flickr is holding. I present to you, the Manticore. In the immortal (huh?) words of my crappily written backstory that I tacked on at the last minute, 

The Manticore modular combat platform was designed to fill several roles with one ship. Its powerful twin magnetically-vectored plasma drives enable it to be both swift and agile while carrying diverse loads. Various weapons packages, cargo - even evacuees from damaged ships - can be carried using the modular coupling system between the ship's forward prongs and under the cockpit. The Manticore seen here has been fitted with a heavy antimatter cannon mounted for an assault mission. The plasma cannons on either side of the ship also pack quite a punch in dogfight situations. 

Now I have to go finish that essay that I forgot about until today.

Oh, and our own Jacob has also built a fighter for that contest that I will now link to in really tiny text so that he can't blog it. Muahahahaha.

EDIT BY JACOB: TRY ME, BRAH

EDIT BY DEAN: I'M NOT A BRA!

EDIT BY JACOB: THAT ISN'T WHAT I MEANT. GOOD SIR, YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON THE COLLOQUIAL VERNACULAR.

EDIT BY DEAN: I KNEW THAT WASN'T WHAT YOU MEANT. GOOD SIR< YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF SARCASM.

EDIT BY JACOB: MY CHARMING FRIEND, I TOO WAS EXHIBITING SARCASM OF TEH HIGHEST CALIBRE. WE COULD CONTINUE ON LIKE THIS FOREVER, IF YOU WISH, BUT I GROW MOST TIRED OF IT. ALSO, USE THE CAPS LOCK INSTEAD OF HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY.

EDIT BY DEAN: EXCELLENT DEDUCTION, MY DEAR WATSON. BUT CAPS LOCK IS OF THE DEVIL.

EDIT BY JACOB: I'M HOLMES, YOU'RE ROBIN.

ROBOTS IN DISGUISE

chingfat just blew you mind.

I Used to Blog Space...

Not so much anymore. It's weird.

Andrew Lee is the One.

This is awesome. 'nuff said.

... 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.

New Britain's newest addition

Flickrstar Shadow Viking finished his New Britain Helicopter Gunship:



I especially like the rotor assembly. See the whole set here.

The People's Universal Gunslinger

Although the name confuses me a little, this ship is making rexcarnage a household name around here.

I can sleep easily now.

I was wondering where Tim Zarki had gotten to.



He was apparently building this beauty. Take a look through the gallery, read the description- they're well worth your time.

PS- saw Dark Knight. Friggin awesome. Does that make all of us?

Today's Discovery

Guess what? There's this guy named Matt on MOCpages who built this helicopter-mecha!

Izzo's Transformers

My, it was hard to pick a picture for this post.



I'm not 100% up on the myriad of mecha izzo has built, but I'm pretty sure this ifs the first time he's tackled transformers. take a look through the gallery; I highly recommend it.

TKH's Macross

Brickshelfer of anime mecha fame TKH kicks off his Macross gallery with four microscale models. As far as I can tell, they all can transform between all three modes:



g2g, byootiful sunset

HAX

That is seriously what I thought when I saw squieu's latest mecha. I had to look through the pictures very carefully before I would believe that the two above models are one and the same.

Yes, this has already been posted. Yes, I'm breaking my own rule. But Nannan practically lives on the internet; how am I supposed to beat him? ;)

Who knows, maybe one of our readers doesn't also read The Brothers-Brick... nah, probably not.

Aleksander Stein's Sukhoi Su-233

... let me show you it.



Aleksander says he was heavily inspired by the works of Ed Diment, and it shows. This beautiful fighter has a detailed cockpit, realistic, fully-functional landing gear, and so much more.

The state of the art Sukhoi Su-233 ”Black Eagle” (Chiorny Oriol) multi-role fighters are the backbone of the newly formed Eurusian carrier groups. Fast, heavily armed and super manoeuvrable thanks to thrust vectoring, the Black Eagle is a fearsome adversary to both air, ground and sea targets.

High doom.

The Mad Physicist just finished his B-1B Lancer!
