A pirate's life for me

Check out this epic creation titled "Pirate Rock" by Fraslund.

This has some seriously cool rockwork and architecture, and has been blogged at least twice elsewhere. It was originally going to be an entry for CCCXI, but he ran out of time to finish it before the contest ended. I'm glad he didn't, because A: My puny entry to the same category would have been utterly crushed, and he says if he had decided to enter it, he would've just thrown together the last parts and left it not as glorious as what we see here. I'm glad we get to see it in all its glory.

This re-make of the Riddler chase car, is fabulous! tigmon74 improved the entire design and added much needed style to the car. Great job!

Boo!

When I saw this older creation by Ian Spacek, I had to laugh. This vig has some personal significant for me, as any of my friends who've known me long enough, have come to expect me behind every corner. I'm pretty well known for jumping out and scaring people very frequently, and I think I can say I've perfected the art, much the same as that guy in the build. This scene has perfect posing and expressions on the figs, PPU (Perfect part use) with that blue flame piece!

I saw a ship a-sailing

The Venetian War Galley, by Mark of Falworth on Flickr, is a real beauty of a ship. I love the oars at the side of the boat and the use of the sail/cloth piece at the stern of the ship, over the captain's quarters. Take a look through Mark's photostream and you can find many more brilliant MOCs!

Here there be monsters

I love this older MOC by Digger1221. It seems like an older fisherman's tale that would be told around a fire. This is one of my favorite builds, I'm not sure why, it's just..
it feels very ominous and creepy, but in a good way.

Planning ahead

This entry for the GCVI in LCC built by Louie le Brickvalier, shows a different aspect of which is usually forgotten war. What most of us think about is getting weapons, supplies and troops. Yet here we see another perspective: strategic planning. Not only is the build original but also very well accomplished!

Ebronahr, the awesome barracks of the Elves

This beautiful barracks MOC from 'Ecclesiastes on Flickr makes me want to build Elves and everything to do with them, but anything I make can never be as good as this!
