Battlecruiser Hyperion from StarCraft II


Lego craftsmen Sven Junga built this Terran battlecruiser as part of a larger Terran army, as seen on his Flickr stream. This is really a very nice and detailed model. The number of bricks used isn't specified, but I would imagine the number goes up to at least 1500 to 2000 bricks.

Wisconsin Kid Builds Lego Replicas of Farm Equipment


 I find this quite amazing. This kid, Warren Seely, has been building these Lego replicas since he was 12. The replicas are made completely from Legos, except for the wheels, which came from some model, and run using Mindstorms. Every replica works exactly like its larger counterpart, only, you know, they won't kill you should you get your hand caught in it.
