When you need to get somewhere fast in Metal Gear Solid V, you can always count on Pequod, the callsign for the Solid Snake’s chopper transport. Seen here in its sea-grey color-scheme, the fictional UTH-66 Blackfoot is a huge helicopter that draws heavily on real-world inspiration, and nowhere have we seen a better LEGO version than this one by Marius Herrmann. He’s has made sculpting the compound curves of the accurate minifigure-scale cockpit look easy. Outfitted with multiple weapons and a long refueling probe, this LEGO chopper is one of the best pieces of realistic military machinery we’ve seen recently.

It’s time to turn back the clocks, then turn them forward again, as we travel to a retro view of the future where flying cars totally exist and all mass transit is in stylish monorails like this sweet LEGO version by Tammo S. With nifty brick-built lettering adorning the sides and a crazy bit of fantastic retro aesthetic with a prop and fins on top, this monorail is ready to guide us to the future. While my favorite design element is the rounded corners of the passenger windows, don’t overlook the fact that the cockpit is built at a crazy angle, which is no mean feat.

Builder Rat Dude has definite ideas about life after the apocalypse, and I have to admit they’re pretty cool. This is The Last Paradise, comprised of modified and specific use cargo containers lumbering along on giant treads. There’s an equipment container, a cool container, a machine container, a storage container, a bum container (whatever that is), and three container devoted to living space. And hey, it’s equipped with solar, so it’s good for whatever is left of the environment. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

There’s a million reasons builders take a break. And I get it, sometimes you don’t have time, life gets in the way, you’re just a little burned out, or whatever. And when I don’t see much from a prolific builder I assume they have their reasons. But having a stroke is quite possibly one of the worst reasons, as is the case of one of my favorite builders redfern1950s2. I’m very happy to report that Red is doing ok, and making a speedy recovery, and even built this charming little MOC as a gift to the caregivers at the ward. Wishing you a speedy recovery Red!

I had one of those moments while scrolling Flickr this morning, and I love it. I like to call them “wait, what?” moments. When you’re looking at a picture and your brain just can’t reconcile it. It’s LEGO, it says it’s LEGO, it’s in a LEGO group…how…wait… This absolutely gorgeous staircase and the room that it’s in by Heksu just blew my mind, sorry if I got any brains on you.
