“Paladins 12 and 13 we have a distance unusual sensor contact, could be Blacktron activity.  Set course to 0.16 by 242 and check it out.  The convoy is going to prepare to jump to rendezvous site Foxtrot 6 based on your findings.”“Roger that Convoy Control, setting course and going in hot”“I’m on your six Boxcar”“Roger Lucky”“Good luck you two hopefully it’s nothing but if not we’ll see you at Foxtrot 6” Rob Damiano’s Nova Team story telling is fantastic.  I always get excited when seeing a Nova Team thumbnail when browsing through Flickr.  After a long absence he’s back with the LL-824 Paladin Escort Starfighter.  I love the side by side seating that is facilitated by using the large cockpit form Bennie’s SPACESHIP, SPACESHIP, SPACESHIP.  The side by side configuration has been used on a few fighters but the tandem (one in front of the other is much more common), the...

Parents out there will probably appreciate the subtle nuance of this MOC by SuckMyBrick, especially if you have two or more children. It's amazing how when something goes amiss how everyone is innocent, like the missing banana in this scene. I suppose it's feasible the frog ate it, but what's behind you back there monkey? Let me see your hand...your other hand... Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Growing up in California, especially on the central coast with frequent trips to Los Angeles, we never saw much public transportation. I'm afraid the car reigns supreme here, and life in Los Angeles is next to impossible without one. This is probably why I'm so enamored with trollies, trains and cool busses, and why I find this tram by Pate-keetongu so irresistible. I also enjoy a good period or vintage build, this one is set at a time three times my age, and that's pretty old. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I'm a big Stranger Things fan, and I'm not alone. Something about that creative story telling infused with some serious 80's feels resonated with a lot of people, and the show was a runaway hit. Builder Casey M is a fan, in fact he's got an ongoing Stranger Things display for Brickworld, and this excellent collection of Brickheadz is just part of it. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.Put 'em together and what have you got?Bippity-boppity... bones? Nope, this is not your friendly neighborhood magician from Disney, this is "Skelemancer" by Nuju Metru and he is out for blood, or should I say out for bones? One thing's for sure, the knight here to save the day is in for a magical and deadly treat. Original linkOriginal author: Andrew Eden

I won't bother to summarize Bricksonwheels excellent history of the famous Bentley Le Mans racer from 1930, but I will say that I couldn't believe it was LEGO from the thumbnail on Flickr.  All that dark green!   He built it like the real car, from the chassis up.  He's got some nice custom stickers on there, and chrome where appropriate.  There's even a rubber tarp over the back seat.  Sir Henry Birkin must have had a blast!

I'm going to pretend that this lovely floating treehouse dwelling by Brother Steven is actually an AirBnB that anyone can rent, including me. And I'd like to book it immediately for at least a couple night's stay. I don't know exactly how I'll get there, perhaps I'll rig my new Airstream with dirigible capabilities (hey, if he can have a floating treehouse I can have a floating RV, it's only fair) Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Last year’s LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) is a pretty nice set and was popular with the fans and it looks like we have another larger scale character to look forward to. An Ukrainian online shop has listed a new LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) that we can expect soon. The details of the set are still unknown at this time but we can see it does have an opening mouth as one of the play features. It also comes with the UCS-style plaque for the Porg. **Promobricks** The post LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) Revealed appeared first on The Brick Fan.

If I could choose one mythical creature to ride, I'm pretty sure this Bretonnian Griffon by MarcelV. would be pretty high up on my list. The techniques used for the feet are just perfect and the rest of the body gives a sense of strength and power to this creature. Also, there's just something about these majestic beasts that inspires pride and gives a sense of loyalty that very few other creatures do. Forget about man's best friend, this griffon is a knight's best friend and I can think of no other creature that I'd rather fly into battle with. Huzzah! Original linkOriginal author: Andrew Eden
