Starcraft Terran Battlecruiser

Starcraft Terran Battlecruiser - updated, originally uploaded by Jerac.

Jarek "Jarac" decided to update his Starcraft Terran Battlecruiser. It was cool during the WIP stages, along with the final stage, I think I love it even more now if that is even possible.

Never tell me the odds...

Wow!  This fantastic scene by marshal banana depicts the Millennium Falcon evading Imperial TIE Fighters through an asteroid field as seen in The Empire Strikes Back.  

The presentation here is fantastic, and faultless.  Witness the apparent "depth" of the asteroid expanse, the black base, the laser blasts, and the little motion blur on the larger asteroids and on the central TIE fighter's engine - it all combines to give a blistering sense of speed, motion and urgency and I absolutely love it.

AT-ATs, on the go!

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like the subject matter of RogueBantha's latest MOC. From the Star Wars Extended Universe (EU) comes the AT-AT Barge, a huge dark grey container which can pick up and drop off AT-ATs onto tactical positions on Hoth.

I love how RogueBantha always builds on his library of Star Wars mini models, so it's great to see such a functional concept, in a great vignette, and with his classic mini AT-AT model.

Anglo-Saxon housing was the pits

...and yet my fellow TFOL Karrde makes it look quaint, clean and cute. His latest MOC is of an Anglo-Saxon pit house, half-submerged in the middle of a circle of green grass, with Anglo-Saxon people coming and going, to-ing and fro-ing, and generally doing Anglo-Saxon stuff all around it. A great 'bignette'!

Let's not forget the dark tan path, the SlyOwl-esque fences and the hair from the nurse in Collectible Minifigures Series 1.

I love playability.

Anyone who knows me will know that I love playable features in a creation, which is why I was pleased to see this new mech from Legohaulic - he's included a nifty spring-loaded ejection seat for the pilot/driver!
