(olive) Green machines

  There is yet only a small selection of parts available in LEGO's new olive green color. It lends itself well to military-themed creations, although anyone who follows my own creations elsewhere knows that I could care less for realistic drab color schemes. Above, Fredo does a nice quadruped. I like the cylindrical shape he has made with the 1 x 4 curved double slopes. Given the squareness characteristic of the medium, the model's curves seem surprising although it is is hardly a departure from with Fredo's previous work. Below, Carter uses the new color for a landmate. It has good feet. I can imagine the little auxiliary arms reloading the bullpup-style weapon. 
Here's another quadruped/humanoid mecha combo with a relating color scheme, via Curtis and Pate:

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.

Could I possibly have chosen a more generic title?

This helped lift my Monday blues:



From Brickshelf username "Zip".

Excellent photography, especially considering how the model is the color black.

what is my cat doing behind the laundry hamper get out of there

Check out this nifty little thing by [Dablackcat]!



yay for barnicle-PURE LEGO integration.

You can Find Good Stuff on MOCpages

...If you know where to look:


Not quite bionicle, this guy integrates a lot of standard technic as well as some system. The result is absolutely fantastic, very mechanical but somehow alive and natural. The gears add a cool artistic flair and the photography, though it may seem whack at first, actually compliments the edgy feel of the model.

What is the most creative way I've ever made someone lose The Game?

I dunno, I'll have to think about it.

Dragonator's Ravine Tavern

The creatively named Ravine Tavern by Brickshelfer "Dragonator" is a pretty awesome piece of work. Were the battling goblins and knights removed, it'd actually make a rather nice vacation spot. I'd have fun climbing down those rocks...

Patrick Biggs has built a very nice Bionicle dragon.

Justin Vaughn's Brickarms take a trip to Mudulon IV, the mud planet.

Bionicle Mecha!

Brickshelfer "smithlee" combines Bionicle, Technic, and System very nicely in his entry for BBC49, a contest on BZPower (apparently, the goal is to make something with a cohesive colourscheme).



I like how he integrated the knee gears.

You are on a blogging spree!

Arpy has built this awesome... something.

As Mister oo7 said on Flickr, it almost looks like a Japanese builder, not only from the MOC itself, but from the choice of editing style.

The Craniopod Neural Organization Device manages to be both incredibly cute and a bit creepy at the same time. I've seen a lot of uses for Onua's mask, but this is the first time I've seen it used as a chubby belly.

Overall: Well done old chap, well done.

Barnicle lulz

Okay, I know it's probably arpy's job to blog the bionicle, but I feel the urge right now. Brickshelf "MuffinToa", who's gallery I've actually looked at quite often (it's true, I'm a sucker for nice bionicle stuff) has always reminded me of things I did with the older bionicles, the first and second toa generations. I would mix and match parts, add armor, attach those little cannons onto their arms... ahh good times :]

Anyway, he made something that looks like a nicer version of what I would do. Check it out! :o
