So congrats to the winners, especially Nick Durron for getting the top prize for his film Zombie: Genesis, which I reviewed a few weeks ago. I hadn't seen the other two winners, but now I have and stay tuned for reviews of both. Zach Macias' The Magician is up at 6, and David Boddy's Crime Stories at 7. Though I didn't love either of their films, I'm happy that they got that high up. They're both great Brickfilmers and I expect a lot from them in the future.

The Iron Lockjaw.

I tried to think of a clever title for this post, but nothing could beat the name given to this tough smuggling ship created by Titolian.  It's beat-up appearance is perfect for the backstory created by the builder, and the crew looks fantastic as well.  I must warn my own Mr Jek Tranter (PI) that there is a new force to be reckoned with in space...

There's even a cool video showing all the little features, I love it.
