Autumn scenes

ElephantKnight is out in the yard Raking,



while Brendan Mauro is ready to go trick-or-treating on a scary night in Dark Stories (by the way, this is an entry in the Lugnet Halloween vignette contest).



Finally, I've previously posted this, but here is my own Autumn.

Trophy Room

Patrick Yrizarry's VLC Trophy Room:

From the memoirs of Marcus Reginald Thunder (1918 – 2005):

“My fondest childhood memories revolve around the great home of my uncle, the famed explorer and adventurer, Jonathan Thunder. His great country-side mansion contained priceless treasures from around the globe, but none were as valuable as the stories told by an old man to an eager young nephew…”

“The largest room in his manor, the great Trophy Room, was furnished only with the collectible souvenirs of a lifetime of globe-trotting and adventuring - prizes from an age when a man could voyage the free earth and leave his great mark upon a thousand foreign lands.”

“Here in this room my Uncle told me the greatest stories ever imagined…”



And some Entomology Vignettes

Evolution

Michael Jasper questions the advance of the species in Evolution!?!.

It looks like voting is closed, and Patrick Bosman has won the MiniMOCMadness4 with his Bouwput nabij het Scheveningse strand.

BrickFest 2005

Oops, I never posted any extensive report on the vignettes presented at BrickFest 2005 back in August. Almost all of the vignettes that were there can be found in this gallery.

Fest attendees voted on the different creations, and the "Most Humorous" award was won by Jude Beaudin for Burning Sensation.


Scott Quirk garnered the "Most Contemplative" award with a series of BrickBard vignettes, illustrating different lines from Shakespeare like "What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?" and "O! Swear not by the moon . . . ".




The "Most Intricate" award went to Mangus Langlo for his Under siege!.


Shades of Gray? earned Curt Werline the "Best Sig Fig" prize.


Finally, Adrian Drake captured "Best of Show" with his Death of the Superagent series.

Katrina relief

Remember the LEGO Toy Drive for Hurricane Relief? Big thanks go to everyone who donated and especially to Anthony Sava, who has done a lot of work gathering these sets up. Check out the haul! It looks like there will be a bunch of happy kids due to your generosity.

When in Rome, what should you do?

Emily Brownlow has some ideas. She has a series of vignettes depicting different Roman occupations based on forum ranks on Classic-Castle. When put together they make a bustling Roman forum.

Moko!

Two new scenes from Moko: Medusa and Penguin.

Still Lost

Walt is in danger in Huw Millington's next installment, Lost 2.

VLC's galore

Hmm, there's been a real spate of larger Vignette-Like-Creations recently.

This one's larger than others I've highlighted here, but it's just too good to pass up. Lenny Hoffman has started a "History of Humanity" series with The Death of Socrates and Buddha's First Sermon.



Nelson Yrizarry gets groovy with his '70's-era Bachelor Pad.
