Shakespearian Proportions!



I hope this beast makes up for yesterday's mishap. The Mammoth tank by Peter Morris. I think nnenn put it best when he said "[E]very inch is a little spot to explore... lots of texture."

Old-School SPACE

John Socal (I think that's his name) has built an Avalanche-11Y Mineral Retrieval and Research Vessel



There a couple of neat details I'd like to point out here. The crystal collection tank, the colourful floor hosing, and the holoprojector, especially. The trans-green stud underneath the dish is so suggestive!

Half-Life 2 Jalopy

4 people have made the 'jalopy car' from the game Half-Life 2 recently. The first, a maxi-fig scale one by the popular Adrian Florea.

Second, a WIP by our own blogger, Dean.

Third, a minifig version by Crusty.

And Finally, another minifig scale one by Don Solo.

It Gob b.

The title is what happens when I get a hair stuck between the V and B keys on my keyboard. FYI.


Our very own Jacob gives us this dandy little half-track truck with a few tricks up it's metaphorical sleeve.
Take a look.

Taniec

If this Polish Wikpedia page is any indication, I'd say that Taniec is some sort of dancing. Perhaps one of our Polish readers could enlighten me?

Slow day... for everyone else.

Nothing worth blogging showed up today. So, in the interest of keeping the pace here, I built something to blog:



Its'a halftrack!

Funny Mecha Story

So, I saw this ferocious mecha (it's made of freakin' guns) by squieu today, and knew I had to blog it:



While I was procrastinating, I saw this cute tank in his gallery, and it struck me as the perfect inspiration to get me out of my building slump momentarily. So, I came up with this little guy. As soon as I post this, I'll type down the description and upload some more pictures to Brickshelf.

Bark Mulch Is Awesome

It's light and easy to move, and is invaluable for adding the finishing touch to any landscaping that needs work. That is the first of two valuable lessons I learned this past week. The second is that a wedding ceremony can take less than ten minutes. Thanks for keeping the blog running while I was away, guys.

Why has no one posted this? It's beautiful!



PS- Happy Robot Day!

Aliens APC


The oft-made APC from the Alien films returns again in a large, playable version by brickshelf user Havoc.

 
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.
