The envelope please

Here are the results from the 2010 LEGO Military Annual Build Competition. Mainman's C54 Tahre placed in the helicopter category. Microscale was also prominent in two categories based on forced perspective. The smaller MOC category was topped by Atin's Bombing of LA and Cardz's June 6 1944 and won by 2 Much Caffeine's Sniper. The large scale category was topped by Snuffwuzz's Hind Attack and Ewok in Disguise's Indian Ocean, Present Day and won by Mainman's Furball Bullseye, which also won the all-around prize.

In memorium

RoccoB gives his rendition of the late World Trade Center.

Congraduations

Dang, Nannan gives great gifts. Wish I had him in one of my classes. I blogged some of the others, but Nannan gave several gifts to his favorite professors as he graduated from Washington University recently, including a rendition of Brookings Hall on their campus.

Stay on target

Shoot, thought I'd already blogged this one. I guess I just blogged the planes. Anyway, Mainman mixes microscale with something that's much closer to true life scale to get Furball!.

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd

All together now: Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Eti presents this Alpine hike, mixing fig and microscales.

More RB

Following up on yesterday's post, Rogue Bantha also made an AT-AT Landing Barge. You can even watch a video.

Moon gardening

Rogue Bantha is expanding his Classic-Space moonscape with Tower 3.

A+ for architecture

Brick Sho has some great examples of tiny architecture: Biltmore Estate and Robie House.

Star Wars action

Check out Moosebot's ARC gunship.

Build small

Legonater has some really nice details in this Construction Site.

Groundlings

Karwik's Delta Fighter is nice, but what I really like is the ground crew detailing.

Mini-MiG

Mainman has a great little MiG-29 Fulcrum and a F-15E Strike Eagle.

City for the ship

I blogged the ship a little while ago, but Mike Yoder's Calamity Jane is Cleared for Landing.

Somewhere, across the sea

This got a lot of press when it was first posted, but I still wanted to put up Eldert's Carbuncle Island.

Eldert shows off his take on Barad Dur.

Tbone tbl

Tbone tbl has posted a number of micro MOCs from sci-fi settings like Battlestar Galactica, Avatar, Star Wars, and Terminator Salvation. Also a gallery full of historic fighter planes. Be sure to check out all of his galleries, as there is a lot more there.

MOCcer

Marin Stipkovic's MOCcer incorporates a micro version of set 8265, Technic Front Loader.

Ni Hao Jin Mao

Spencer Rezkalla follows up his previous Trump International with the Jin Mao Tower from Shanghai. I'm guessing these will both be on display at BrickWorld next weekend.

Persistent salesman

Gearcs's salesman is a little too persistent, determined that the spaceman won't leave the planet a new vacuum cleaner. He calls this A spaceman is in sight of a mad seller... Great use of microscale here for forces perspective.

Micropolis: Sands of Time

Reasonably Clever and TwinLUG are teaming up for another contest: Micropolis: Sands of Time - Build a micropolis module, but it doesn't have to be in a modern city theme. It doesn't even have to be in one era. You can include elements from whatever time period you choose. For instance, 4 Diamonds' entry is Pirate Beach, where pirate ships are arriving along the modern waterfront.

Trumptastic

Spencer Rezkalla's latest is the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.

Naval battle

Einon has a great naval battle currently on display at the Portuguese Arte em Pecas event.

New set news - White House

The newest addition to the LEGO Architecture line is the White House. It's not up on Lego.com yet, and no word when it will be available for purchase, but it's already posted on Adam Reed Tucker's site, Brickstructures Via Legodt's Brickshelf.
