Lino Martins has sympathy for the underdog

The LUGNuts group on Flickr have wrapped up their tenth building challenge: "Sympathy for the Underdog." LUGNuts members built vehicles that have been "under-appreciated," dwelling in the shadow of more popular cars. Lino Martins presents a great '57 Pontiac Safari, "commissioned" by his girlfriend Sue (also depicted in Miniland scale).

Ask Dr. Science

I was hoping we'd get some people to go the miniland route with the Brick Science contest on Reasonably Clever. Takua-777 gives us Gordon Freeman.

Samba!

Scandell has built an awesome rendition of the VW Samba-Bus. Though no Miniland-scale figures are present, I can easily see a few hitching a ride in this crazy thing. The attention to detail is fantastic; check out the seats and rear engine!

Brick Science Contest

Chris Doyle, of Reasonably Clever is hosting a Brick Science contest and Shane Larson and myself are guest judges. The connection? We're all scientists. That's right, with fancy degrees and everything. Build something inspired by good or evil scientists, real or fictional to win fabulous prizes. Here's Steve Bishop's Professor Hubert Farnsworth for some inspiration.
