Habitat At The End Of The World

I haven't fully wrapped my head around this colossal creation by builder Aliencat, nor have ever understood the fascination with Fabuland. But I do appreciate some fine building, and this is some damn fine building. Everywhere on this craft (lander? Ship? What do I call it?) there's loads of detail and implied functionality. From the accordion ramp to the drop down egress you can tell there's some thought going into how this thing works. Click through for many more pictures.

Suburban Tram

I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at when I spied Vince Toulouse's latest creation.   Yeah, clearly it's a high-tech tram.  But with a front-loader washing machine on the third level?  Or is it a Minion?  Whatever, it's pretty frakin' cool!  Check out Vince's photostream to see all the nifty details, especially his notations on the various Duplo and Fabuland pieces that when into this build.  Slick!

Stomping The Cuteness Out Of You

Something magical happens when you combine Fabuland with something slightly less adorable, like a bipedal walking mech! Check out this walking study of contrasts by nobu_tary, it's the perfect combination of "squeee" and "squish". I can just hear the battlefield comentary:

"Viper Den this is Fang Six, we have incoming hostiles...wait, maybe not...aww it's a cute bunny...AHHHHGGHHHH!"

Happy Icebreaker

Considering the sometimes tedious relationship between walruses and penguins I'm not sure permitting them to sail aboard their own icebreaking ships is wise. Then again, this particular walrus seems pretty competent, and that's a pretty smart outfit he's wearing, so we'll let this one go. A charming and whimsical MOC by the_jetboy.

Fabuland Hobbiton

Here's a 'fab' mashup by qi_tah, The Shire and Fabuland. As if Hobbiton wasn't inviting enough, with the addition of Fabuland characters and charm, it's absolutely irresistible. I wish I had been able to see this in person at Brickvention.
