Builder Pol Mac is pretty freshly out of his dark ages, but seems to have come out with a vengeance, check out this gorgeous (first ever) dragon! It's designed to be flexible without big gaps in the body, and I'd say it was successful. My favorite detail has to be the eyes though, what a simple, elegant solution. The combination of lever base and mudguard has instant expression. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I know there's a video in the works for this, but I'm going to share it now anyway. Check out this beautiful creation by builder sadovich7.9! If that name sounds familiar to you it's because he's the designer of the LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle. Now he's back with a little mechanical wonder that I can't wait to see in motion, one of DaVinci's concepts for a human powered flight, the ornithopter. There's even a little orrery in the base, what a wonderful detail. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Back when Nintendo announced the NES Classic, I don’t think anyone at Nintendo had any idea just how successful the Classic would be.

If you are looking for a striking vision of leadership, look no further than the indomitable Optimus Prime! Beautifully Lego-ized by builder Anakin Skywalker, this stunning rendition of the fearless leader of the Autobots captures the shaping of his head and torso superbly. I love the limb articulation and the poseable fingers, as well as the little details like the windscreen wipers. Optimus is posing Roosevelt-like with his “big stick”. Like any true commander, his philosophy was, “There’s a thin line between being a hero and being a memory.” The post There’s more to them than meets the eye appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Here’s a pretty LEGO view — a daisy-strewn meadow with a brick-built backdrop. Hans Demol built this mosaic for a display with his local LEGO group. Mosaics are not usually my favourite kind of LEGO building, but the addition of the strip at the front with the daisies elevated this into something more interesting than a simple rendition of a pixelated image. It would be even better if some of the varied green shades in the backdrop’s “grass” had continued forward over the base, but that’s nitpicking at an otherwise lovely design.
