Maybe this time
I'm not really sure what's going on in Michael Jasper's Maybe this time. Given his skills, I'm guessing he's waiting for a prize from some building contest to arrive in the mail. The thought bubble is just an amazing idea and build.

One small vig for man ...
Okay, this is actually depicting Alan Shepard from Apollo 14, but it's close enough to be a fitting MOC to post on the 40th anniversary of man first setting foot on the moon.

Mmmmm Chrooooome!
I've noticed several vigs featuring chrome on Brickshelf. It turns out Eurobricks is running a raffle to win a chrome Darth Vader. Eurobricks members can make an 8x8 vig featuring chrome in some way as entries. Some examples include these from Daniel, Okay and Alchemyst.

Who Dares Wins
This has been about since April, but I thought it was worth featuring.
Cuahchic recreates the storming of the Iranian Embassy in London by the SAS in 1980. I can distinctly remember the news coverage of the event at the time and this really evokes the moment.
The vig's 51cm height really gives this some theatrical "verticality", and some of the architectural and interior details (viewed more easily in the Flickr folder) are excellent.

More fun than a barrel of barrels
The Forbidden Cove is starting monthly seed part challenges - basically build a vig based around a specified part. This month it is the small barrel. How can you use it creatively? I've seen, for instance, stacks of barrels as tree trunks or ships' masts. Or just build a great little pub vignette full of barrels of ale. Be sure to read the rules. The prize each month will be the seed part - maybe in a rare color, maybe multiples, depending on what Blue can find. (Btw, who knew the barrel was available in so many colors? I did remember the light blue ones in a Racers set and the use of gray ones as engines or something in the UCS X-wing, but they've added several other variants more recently) I'm looking forward to featuring some great MOCs.

Brainbike.rider hits the wheels of steel...
The decks and headphones in this DJ vignette by brainbike.rider are fantastic.
The vest top is a little too "camp disco" for me though...
