Spears and churned-up water

Ian Diller may be one of our own, but I couldn't not blog his latest creation, The Sea-Drake. The dark transparent bricks as water is certainly an effective technique, especially when combined with the clear cheese slopes. There's some great figure posing as well.

War and peace, side by side

Mitah Val Karem's superb rendition of a city in Lenfald, a medieval-England type faction from the LoR RPG, has no flaws I can think of. Honestly, there is so much good here, from the small wooden house to the tiled floor and the stony path, but what struck me most is how a group of soldiers are assembling right next to a peaceful garden. The contrast couldn't be better.

The One That Got Away


Fishing on the wharf - Main
The ever-creative Grant Davis churns out another great MOC. I personally think the brown bars for the dock looks great, keep that technique in mind, fellers!


Since when did sea battles look this cool?

Well, many of them look cool actually, and this is certainly one of them. Schmidt has built this beautiful ship with some great figure posing alongside. You've got to love this!

Sabotage In The Colony

Shut down - SfK faction challenge
A couple other builders and I, including TBT's own Jackson, recently started up a new MOC-based RPG challenge called Struggle for Klegon, which you can find over on Galactic-Bricks. One of the most prominent rising stars among the members of this MOC challenge is N-11 Ordo, who, for the game, built this scene, depicting a mercenary sabotaging the interior of a building. I have to say I really like those big glowing screens and the technique used to make the explosives. Well done!

"Eat laser, clanker"

Accomplished castle builder [T]itus dabbles in a bit of Star wars, soaring over the rather bland norm for Star Wars MOCs. The sense of action and posing achieved is laudable, not to mention the floor.  And  a beautiful brick-built custom Westar M5.

Mobile Outpost

Now, I'll admit I'm a sucker for traction cities.  How can you not like them?  Dead Frog Inc. built this mobile outpost for the 2014 Interstellar Outpost Contest over on Flickr.  You can also see his matching starfighter and APC.
