It's amazing how the addition of some simple lighting can elevate a model. This beautiful clear swan from alanboar is already an eye catcher, and very well done.

Some of these dogs take it to the next level, helping humans in their daily life doing important work like law enforcement and safety and guiding the blind. Builder LEGO 7 celebrates some of these hard working good doggies in this charming set of builds. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I don't know much about gypsies, but you certainly have to admire their colorful spirit. These wagons by vitreolum are as quirky as they are colorful, and I really like them. I don't think I could live in one, but it would be a nice place to spend an evening and enjoy a campfire and some music. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The ability of humans to build really big things never ceases to amaze me. I think if I saw this colossal Caterpillar digger in person I'd be intimidated by it, maybe even afraid. No less impressive is this equally colossal brick-built version by Konajra. And not only is it a faithful scale reproduction, you can work at night since it's fully lit!
