Dynomite!

Lino Martins' Downtown Action Brown and Afro-Dite are the stars of a poster advertising a gig at a Seattle club. If you're in the area tomorrow, go down and support the Satellite 4, a band with obvious good taste in MOCing.

'Tis the season

As noted here previously, every year MisaQa presents an advent calendar project, revealing a new MOC each day. This year her theme is fantasy creatures. As she notes, scale is a bit subjective, but several of these seem to be roughly miniland scale, as with the minotaur and the satyr.

Edsels, meet the edsels, they're your modern 50's family

Okay, a bit of an older MOC, but Ralph Savelsberg (Mad Physicist) made this Edsel and accompanying family (and pooch).

Betcha didn't know the word "coulrophobia"

The latest challenge on Lugnuts is to build a car that reflects a phobia. Lino Martins has risen to his own challenge with the amazing coulrophobia, or the fear of clowns.

Anything but fig scale

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or at MicroBricks. Epicbmxertothecore mixes miniland figs with micro vehicles in Off Road Buggy.

Spooky stuff a little late

There's still some great Halloween stuff out there I haven't noted here. Mariann Asanuma built this Halloween Hearse back when she worked at Legoland.

Good to know that our politicians aren't the only embarrassing ones

Since some (at least me) may not know the backstory behind Hippotam's chair race, here is the explanation in his own words:

Recently, Poland (and Europe) witnessed on of the most grotesque conflict between Prime Minister and President, nicknamed “plane war” or “chair race”. Both gentelmen fought over who will represent Poland at Brussels EU summit. Until the very begining of the meeting we were not sure who will sit on the chair…
I felt so embarrased that I had to let it out.

What's the fastest way to the hospital?

Jump in front of an ambulance, of course. Check out Steven Marshall's great Bedford Ambulance, that was included in the hospital display shown over the past couple of days.
