The Year of the Pig

Builder Kingmarshy is getting a little ahead of himself since it's still Year of the Dog, but this entry for the Bio-Cup contest looks like a winner to me!  I'm normally not a Bionicle fan, but this gluttonous creature, Zhu Bajie the Pig, and the fancy spread he's enjoying has a great blend of system parts, really bringing him to life.  And even though Kingmarshy spent quite a bit of time on this awesome creation, he was actually ready to build something else in a half an hour.

Mr. Frumble's Pickle Car

I really relish this new creation by Jonathan Lopes!  Inspired by the character in Richard Scarry's children's books, Jonathan dill-igently sculpted all the curves of not only the car, but old Mr. Frumble as well.  I just hope all these pickle puns don't leave a sour taste in your mouth.

Porco Rosso

1930's Italy was a time of ruthless sky pirates menacing wealthy seafarers on the Adriatic, and the only thing that stood between them and their hapless victims was Porco Rosso:  The Red Pig!  Looks like our old pal Pate-keetongu was inspired by the 1992 Japanese movie based on a three part watercolor manga featuring a WWI flying ace who was transformed into an anthropomorphic pig.  Disney did an English dub as well.   The LEGO version of this unique character really captures his heroic nature and the dapper style of the era.  And hey, if a raccoon can fly a spaceship, I don't see why a pig can't fly a seaplane...
