It's always fun when a builder steps out of their comfort zone and takes on a new theme. It's especially fun when they bring in a little of another genre, or go full on mashup. Builder Dwalin Forkbeard dealves into space with a steampunky rocket ship in which victorians would have been proud to break the atmosphere. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

What a whimsical and wonderful image by builder Grant Davis. A fairytale classic, Jack ascending the beanstalk to find the giant's castle. If not for that familiar texture in the background you'd hardly know it was LEGO. I knew when the seed part of this round of Iron Builder was revealed we'd see some interesting stuff, but the creativity on this round has been off the scale.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Like so many films of the 80's, E.T. helped shape me as a filmmaker and artist. It's a remarkable story told by an army of exceptionally talented artists. This wonderful diorama by builders ~The Steads~ depicts the uplifting but heartbreaking end of the movie, when E.T. says goodbye to Eliot and his family and climbs aboard his ride home. Admit it, you cried. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Aido K has built a really striking scene of a cloaked man leading his horse through some chilly terrain. So many details in this I love: the brick-built horse, the traveler's feet creating a path in the snow bank, the flowing cape, and the little pieces of snow ontop the plants. But what makes it for me is the dynamic posing of the characters. It really brings the scene to life. Original linkOriginal author: James Morr

Builder Takamichi Irie has combined high skill, creative parts use and a clear love of the character to build this guy at a scale I wouldn't have thought possible, at least with this amount of detail.
