Kidthor (Brickshelf) is a fairly prolific builder I hadn’t noticed (sorry!) until he posted this brilliant mecha drop-ship:

If that’s not cool enough for ya (and it should be), the mecha has a separate “Lodestar Aerospace Booster”:

Check out more pictures in Kidthor’s Flickr photostream or Brickshelf gallery.

Joriel “Joz” Jimenez (MOCPages) has been hard at work updating his Flickr photostream lately. I keep bookmarking stuff to blog, and then he posts something even cooler.

With squad after squad of great minifigs, Joz is clearly a man after my own heart. Unlike too many “army builders,” he peppers his multitudes with unique units like this pair of “Jump Jet Instructors”:

Here are my favorites:

Oh, and yes, that is a kangaroo in the CPKF Insignia. Nice.

It seems that everything Adrian Florea builds makes the rounds on the ‘net, and I’m sure his latest will be no different — a lovely spaceship from Cowboy Bebop called Swordfish II:

My ignorance of post-1989 anime is staggering, so I had to look up a couple reference pics, but Adrian’s rendition of this ship is perfect.

I blogged Kevin Guoh’s Totoro yesterday, but Kevin’s mecha are even more impressive.

The Black Hat has a chunky chest and shoulders:

A new version of his Gatekeeper looks even more menacing in red and black:

Check out lots more pictures in Kevin’s Mecha / Robots / Creatures photoset on Flickr.

Like several of the LEGO fans we feature here, Alex Eylar (Flickr) is one of those builders whose work we could feature just about every time he posts something. Alex’s latest creations are a rootin’ tootin’ pair of Wild West battle-critters.

The Bullfrog has a very large saw blade:

The Huckleberry skitters along on the tips of rifles:

Following on his now-world-famous — and allegedly first — steampunk Dardenbahst, master customizer Jamie “Morgan19″ Spencer presents his second steampunk creation, full of shiny gold custom parts and lots of gears and chains. Behold the “Kriegerhund, Sentinel of the Deutsches Reich”:

Of course, what creation from Jamie would be complete without a detailed schematic?

See more on MOCPages or Brickshelf.

Toying with the idea of the black fantasy virus infecting a mecha, I altered my Project Bley Mecha to display filaments of the virus infection. The concept of using Brickarms grenades to simulate tumors played out wonderfully.

With three fantastic creations in a row, Horace Cheng (Flickr) gets his own roundup post.

A Daihatsu Midget inspired by hitahita-05:

Wildschwein, a steampunk version of the droid tank from Star Wars:

H.A.F.S. Cataphract:

Here’s another great entry for the Heroes & Villains challenge — Plastic Man as a steam shovel!

Click the pic to see more of this great creation by Peter “Graznador” Aoun, including action shots and a reference pic that emphasizes just how perfect this thing is.

If you’ve ever wondered how you’d fare (yes you, reader, you’re staring at a computer screen right now, aren’t you?) after the LEGO apocalypse, Flickr user Terry’s Clockwork Orange has the answer.

The man with the keyboard chest plate is “Barry Norman, former I.T. technician and now the Mystical Keeper of the Data.” Ha! Click the picture to read more geeky post-apocalyptic profiles.

Reasonably Clever is holding a LEGO challenge to build a steampunk creation in 50 pieces or less.

Adrian Florea joins the fun with a 44-piece cuirassier (Wikipedia in case, like me, you had no idea what that was).

I’m with Kevoh on this robot from Tim “Spook” Zarki — I imagine this thing a thousand feet tall, delicately stepping over the skyscrapers of a future metropolis.

Using leftovers from his last creation, Mark Kelso creates a fine walker mech, it’s his first mecha so he says, but it look to me like he’s been at it for years. Keep the MOCs comin’ Mark!

Seems like forever since we’ve featured a new mecha by Izzo, but I suppose it’s only been a month and a half or so. Still, let’s get our Izzo fix.

Something gray:

Something white:

I present you another black fantasy creature, this time in a post-apoc setting. There’s gold on the ground, but gold is worthless when there’s no one to spend it.

Interested in building something similar? I’ve just announced a black fantasy contest over at Classic Space, but you don’t have to be a member of the forum to participate. There will be prizes!

Nnenn’s recent spacecraft have had a decidedly “buggy” look (though others have compared these to Invid or the mobile armor mode of RX-110 Gabthley from Gundam).
