The T-800 has always held a special fascination for me. I actually once owned a cast of the skull pulled from the original mold at Stan Winston's. This excellent build by Martin Latta is very faithful and wonderfully detailed. I would love to see it in a more dynamic pose.
This is an amazing MOC by one of my favorite builders, LEGO's own Mark Stafford. This is inspired by Peter Elson's artwork from the Galactic Encounters book: Settlers in Space: The Fight for Survival on Distant Worlds. Just look at that use of color and brick-built detailing, stunning.
Flickr user Schfio makes excellent use in a "studs out" technique to render these Nike Court Tour shoes perfectly. Seriously, take a step back from your monitor and squint, it's just a pair of shoes! Nice SNOT lettering on the base too.
I read GOT (ok, listened to, narrated by the great Roy Dotrice) years ago, and I'm a huge fan of the series. I've often thought during the opening sequence "somebody should build that". I've seen a couple minifigure scale offerings, but this build by Megan Correnti captures the mood perfectly. I especially like the pose, contemplative and burdened.
