Dragonfly VTOL
/If you were at BrickCon you certainly saw HUB-14, a large scale collaborative build. This awesome little VTOL by porschecm2 was built for it, and just shows the level of skill and attention to detail that went into it.

I love halloween. The decorations, the costumes, the music, the movies, the treats, the parties, it's all so much ghoulish fun. I also really like the creepy MOCs that crop up every year. This tree by mihaimariusmihu is one of the first I've seen of the season, and it's wonderful. Check out his photostream for other macabre builds.
I love a little winter scene, and this is a fine example. The cracked ice is a great effect, and the snow caps on everything is very effective. Although it would appear that the little horns are just precariously balanced on those windows. Nice work Lukasz.
Being a California native, the coastline is part of my life, and I'm thankful for the service of the men and women of the Coastguard. This MOC by mmbace captures the cutter perfectly, including the iconic red stripe at the front (brick-built even!). This ship is one of the coolest in all the branches, usurped only by the Navy hovercraft fleet in my opinion.
This cool steampunk MOC comes from Gabe Umland. It depicts Lahair on the deck of the Alegna, a floating boat. I love the design, it sorta reminds me of Mr. Kim's boat in Fifth Element, like a junk with no sail.
Legohaulic has crafted these emblems representing the five branches of the US military. They are, from left to right: Marines, Coastguard, Air Force, Navy and Army. These MOCs will be available at Creations for Charity.
Iron Builder separates the builders from the BUILDERS, as they craft marvelous MOCs at a frightening pace. TBB blogger and Iron Builder chairman Nannan has built this fantasy arena where great battles take place. And you can own it! Not only that but it can be signed by both chairmen and eight iron builders! It will be auctioned off at Creations for Charity very soon.
You can practically hear the faint minstrel music in the background, smell the dust in the air, taste the mead and feel the aged wood in this MOC by MinifigNick. So much detail and texture, I especially like the banners and the floor.
Well, this is quite the mashup, two Stephen King novels and LEGO. That was exactly the challenge for pif500 in the MocOlympics, and the results just work. Who knew It and The Shining could be combined.
Flickr user tkh brings us Nitroplus's iconic mascot Super Sonico. She's sporting her trademark headphones and classic curves in LEGO form here. Gotta love that pink hair.
Nice camera huh? Take a closer look. No really, take a closer look because it's FRIGGIN' LEGO!!! Orion Pax, you have blown my mind once again. Look at all that chrome! Look at that authenticity! Look at my jaw on the floor!
Here we go again. Moko has posted yet another totally awesome anime MOC, and I have no idea who it is. Yes, I could go to Google to find out and pass myself off as somewhat knowledgable, but that's not how I roll. Yup, blissfully anime ignorant, but appreciative of a good MOC. Check out that captured action!
Jon Hall is back with another spectacular aircraft. The color scheme on this one is excellent, the brown and tan contrast along with the white stripe are just perfect. Not a bad bit of photoshop lovin' on this either. As always, the complete package.
One of the more beautiful locations in the Star Wars trilogy (yes, I said trilogy) was Bespin. Realized almost exclusively through matte paintings originally, it was unique and lovely. It's too bad Han got frozen, Luke got the crap beat out of him, C-3P0 got blowed up real good and Lando went out of business (assumed). It probably put a bit of a damper on the place.
