This is officially the first SHIPtember 2018 build we’ve featured on BrickNerd. Now I know what you’re thinking, “hey, that’s a car, not a spaceship”. But take another look, this is Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster and Starman, who is presently cruising through our solar system. Assuming the battery is still good we can assume he’s still listening to Space Oddity too. Nice build brickfrenzy.
The discriminating gentleman knows quality when he sees it. Like this finely crafted electromechanical wonder from the fine folks at Kaisers Werkstatten (and Captainsmog). This is the Mobile Mechanized Tesla Cannon, or MMTC. It's the perfect apparatus for a nice stroll about the neighborhood or perhaps showering a hoard of your enemies with high intensity electrical energy.
Builder 2 Much Caffeine imagines a city powered by steam, buzzing with electricity and fueled by fun. This was a build for Brick2014 in the UK, and features motorized functions and a multitude of lighting effects, including a lava lamp! I don't know that I'd want to live in this town, but you can bet I would visit.
