I prefer the green olives.

Chirs, AKA Ironsniper has been posting a lot of wonderful builds using the new olive green color that came out this year. His AR-7 GrassBlade is no exception. Clean lines, functional looking design elements and it fits a fig! Please go check out the rest of Ironsniper's builds, he is just as formidable a builder in other colors with limited palettes.

Febrovery is over!

Febrovery had a wonderful turnout this year with builders creating 267 spacey rovers, spearheaded by its prolific founder Crimso Giger, who alone pumped out around 56 great creations. Illustrious lego fad map maker; pasukaru76, quickly posted the completed graphic which is modeled after Set #6804 Surface Rover. Congratulations to all who participated!

Solid Fuel Starfighter

Earth - (BiS) ƒernald has built this wonderful Solid Fuel Starfighter which fits a minifigure under the front hatch. As with many posts here lately, it was built for the Real World Starfighters Contest on Flickr. This instantly reminded me of Voyager and the Apollo command modules. The dark orange works well as a substitute for the heat shielding and its mostly round shape is somewhat unique, especially for a fighter. The back view is well detailed and uses a few neat tricks. I am quite fond of the support structure for the turning thrusters and the lighting in the photo adds a warm touch. ƒernald also has quite a number of nice looking microbuilds on his photostream.

BT Panorama

Built by granada_turnier, I found this Blacktron Panorama to be a fairly brilliant build. The greenish background for the composite shot was a great choice to offset the colors of the ship. For those who were around when the only space theme fell under the Legoland moniker; now known as Classic Space, this ship retains much of that classic styling. yet incorporates just enough modern techniques to set it apart. It immediately reminded me of set #6894 - Blacktron Invader probably due to the trans-red wedge plates on the nacelles.

Click on all sizes to really get the full effect of the composite shot. The photostream also has lots of cool old cars, tractors and other vehicles for those who like reference material for "real world" mocs.
