Builder Moko has gone full cephalopod on this build. This is the MFS-019, AKA Octopus. In nature, vibrantly colored creatures are usually a sign that it's deadly, and judging by look of this beast, it applies here as well. I love the subtle "suckers" on the inside of the arms, and the overall look of this guy, very cool. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This aircraft might be unconventional (I mean, how many times have you seen a pusher canard biplane) but it's no less intimidating. It's also named after a pretty unconventional animal, which makes it all the more appealing. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

While I've never really ridden a motorcycle (unless you count my dad's Trail50, I don't) I've always admired the aesthetics of them, especially vintage ones. This retro styled beast from redfern1950s2 hits all the marks for me, especially when equipped with a side car, it's just beautiful. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

What costs a lot of money, sounds like a swarm of angry hornets and really shouldn't be used near airports? Drones, or more accurately quad copters (drones implies autonomous, they aren't). I have one of these things languishing in my garage (there's only so many aerial views of my culdesac I need) but it required a lot less skill to put together than this offering by vitreolum, and it makes a lot more noise.

Hard to believe it's been 25 years since Jurassic Park premiered. This movie marked a pivotal moment in my life. At the time I was doing creature effects and animatronics, everything was fiberglass, rubber and servos. I had been watching the development of CGI with mild interest for years, but was never terribly impressed. This movie blew me away, and I remember saying to myself "we're finally there, time to switch to pixels". Immediately after I bought an Amiga computer and started teaching myself 3D. It's also hard to believe that BrickNerd turns five today (well, the day I registered the company, the blog doesn't officially turn five until July 1st), so it seems appropriate I should be celebrating the five year anniversary of this endeavor and admiring this sculpture by DOGOD Brick Design, two pivotal moments in my life.
