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?

It's Tuesday

Nnenn has built a Viper from BSG, "developed by a lost Battlestar from that lost episode..."

Good enough for me.

EGG's for breakfast

Kwi-Chang has built another mecha, and this time, it's a hardsuit:

He's also built a little truck to lug it around. Every time I see something like this, it inspires me to try my hand at mecha again- maybe I'll give it another go.

Interesting technique: see how the mech is fake-grabbing the sword?

Chapter 420 In Which Dez Falls in Love.

I'd demand to know who changed the blog description, except I don't particularly care.
Instead, I'll show you this creation from Jerac. (Jerrec, Jerrac, Jerec, I always get confused.)
The good news is, I could tell whose work it was just from the thumbnail. That's style for you.

On a side note, I developed an obsession with Dark Knight over the past week. Insanity is bound to follow. >_<

Einheit-Diesel kf3

Legotron has built some great military models, and his Einheit-Diesel kf3 is no exception:

I like the deceptively simple construction on this one. Also, I noticed that the headlights are grey, not transparent- that would never have crossed my mind.

Chapter 16 In which Jas Build A Mech.

Jas Nagra brings us this wonderful little mech. Check out the subtle color variation on those stripes, and the missile packs (I assume) on the legs. Kickass. Furthermore, he was inspired by Brain K (Mondaynoodle)

Happy Robot Day 3!

But angry alien wants to kill the humanoids...

And Send All My Loving, Too You.

This microscale creation caught my eye last night, so I resolved to blog it this morning. It really is quite fantastic. The stripe on the front, the greeble section embedded in the nose, and the asymmetry of it all come together in a winning combination.

The Beatles rock.

Today's Discovery

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

In the Future, The Hoomins Is Am Are Dead.

The way I see it, anyone who reads this blog is probably a contact of Peter Reid on Flickr anyway, but I figured I'd share it anyway.
I love the use of frogs as shoulders, and the head. Pure awesome.

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.
