The Eaglet Has Landed

To be honest, I don’t know how many of you actually do enjoy microscale MOCs (or deviations thereof) – but I really can’t see how anyone could not love this.

Microscale, but it still takes up major space.

It may be called the Micropolis airport, but it still takes up major space.

Rakanishu1024 has actually done what TLG have failed to achieve for decades – and has built a proper, 100% realistic airport. Considering the size of this build, it’s no wonder he’s used micropolis scale, and he’s also made sure not to compromise quality one single bit. Just look at those terminals and the lighting!

Kudos to Andrew for sharing over on The Brothers Brick.

Dirigible Day Today

Long time no vig. Although this one isn’t exactly a vignette per se. Which doesn’t make it any less adorable.

Fair winds to you!

>Saint< on flickr sends this here minifig on a journey to where saints’ stamping grounds are supposed to be.

And since we’re on the subject of dirigibles anyway – here’s another flying beaut by j¤nesy.

The use of <i>sky</i> blue seems rather appropriate here.

Heaven, I’m in heaven… And there’s stuff around me that goes *putt putt putt*…

“And Houston, Discovery, for the final time, wheels stopped.”

Some of you might have noticed that I’ve broken my habit of not blogging any reviews… And I thought since that’s done anyway, why not make the best out of it – and bring you a wonderful review of a new City set from the 2011 line-up by Eurobricks’ top sheriff and C-T luminary, TheBrickster.

Both Major Tom <i>and</i> Hubble making an appearance here...

Space Shuttle and Hubble potentially making a final appearance?

With legendary orbiter Discovery having just completed its very last journey to outer space successfully, this one couldn’t have come at a better time. Go ahead and check out whether LEGO have done a proper job of honouring her (and her fellow space shuttles) with what could be the last official brick model of this kind.

Real-Life Airport Experiences, Anyone?

Two minifigs who rose to some fame in the 80s set out on yet another city tour filled with mishaps and bricky situations. Fortunately, it all ends nicely with an “Up, up and away” frame. Eurobricks newcomer Michael S makes it almost too real-life for those of you who are sick of the hassle commonly associated with civil aviation. Those of you who are still fascinated by all things “air” though would surely drool at the sight of an airport of such dimensions.

Make sure you head over to Eurobricks and check out Michael’s marvellous layout with this airport as its focal point – and the neat story that goes with it.
