Read MoreEver hear the myth that eating lots of carrots will improve your eyesight? Or maybe your parents told you this in order to make sure you ate your vegetables? Well, builder Milan Sekiz has heard the myth before, and he has put a unique twist on the concept! Milan has this to say about his newest creation: "On a planet similar to ours, these guys worship carrots for obvious reasons. They use strange mechas to harvest carrots from obelisks after worship ritual." I find this build very creative and amusing. I love the little alien creatures, but my favorite part (and probably the main focus of the build) is that gorgeous mech. The colors are perfect, and it's a very slick design. Wonderful work! Now go eat your vegetables, kids.
A never before seen UFO is orbiting the Earth. Is this a scout? Is war coming? All I know is that I'd love to fly around in this spaceship! This craft, designed by A Plastic Infinity, has a very unique design and color combination. After studying this build closely, I haven't been able to find a single standard LEGO brick (1x2 or 2x4's). Every brown element is a sloped or angled piece that creates the magnificent look of this UFO. I also especially like the turbine in the rear and also the light blue translucent cockpit. Safe travels!
