17-Stage Ball Contraption
This amazing Lego machine, built by Skiyuky, does a very simple task. Moving balls along a complete circuit. That is all it does. But it does that task in such an amazingly cool way. And it's incredibly accurate.

Faerie Forest
The "Faerie Forest," made by Sean and Steph Mayo (Siercon and Coral). I love this because of how intricate it is. It's just so detailed and, in some parts, beautiful.

Now These Are Awesome.
This Star Wars: Return of the Jedi chess set, made by Brandon Griffith (icgetaway), is the third in a series of Star Wars-related chess sets, along with A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. All the pieces except the pawns are mini-scenes in themselves. All of them, amazing pieces of work. Truly incredible.
