Well, we're just on a roll this month, aren't we? Though BZPower's BBC contests do tend to bring out some above average creations. So yes, retinence has also built this Viking. The elbows are more than a little awkward, but we like the rest of this, especially the beard.
Yarr harr fiddle dee dee
Do what you want cause a Viking is free
You are a Viking!

HEY! DO YOU WANT TO FEEL SO MAN-ERGETIC? THEN TRY KAKARU'S "THE COMMANDER!" IT'S A MANLY MOC FOR MEN! MAN-MOCS! IT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL SO MANLY, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PUNCH COMETS! THAT'S RIGHT, COMETS! COMET HALE-BOPP WILL BE LIKE "HURR I'MMA CHUNK OF DIRTY ICE AND ROCK" AND YOU'LL BE LIKE "SCREWWW YOUUU" AND SHOOT IT IN THE FACE WITH YOUR MAN-GUN! IT'S LIKE A SOLID HUNK OF TESTOSTERONE MADE OF LEGO! LEGOSTERONE!


CHEST HAIR! RUNNING ALL THE TIME! BAAGH! SPORTS! BAAGH!

Hey, y'all (no, we are not using that word ironically; we believe that English needs a second person plural pronoun that is distinct from 'you')! retinence has built this guy he calls "Malrik." We call it "nifty." We are not entirely sure about his shoes or feet or what-have-you, but we are quite enamoured of the parts combination on the head and the integration of Glatorian helmets and Hero Factory armor.

That's right, dear readers. You only wish you could build as well as Elzy here.

(This is just to establish a beachhead of sorts. Better creations are forthcoming. Probably.)

Legoman ha construido un rinoceronte blanco y azul. Nos gustan especialmente los colores y la configuración de la parte superior. Él escribe que "no es difícil de comprender." Estamos de acuerdo.

Dear readers, normally we look much more favorably on cows as a result of a steady diet of Far Side comics and hamburgers when we were children, but this horse by retinence is just too cool to pass up. The only things that could improve it would be a horn and rainbows shooting out its arse.

Motorized Ringo Starr!

U2 in concert!

Lazy sod paying attention to his blog for the first time in months!

...No, wait, you don't get a picture of that. I'm not lazy--well, okay, I am sometimes--but I have a life to be getting on with, too, you know.

Arkov initiates Operation Fuzzy Dice with his renditions of snarky robots Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot from Mystery Science Theater 3000:

Crow looks a little weird, but let's just blame Lego for the dearth of yellow Technic parts and call it good.

As those of you involved with the larger Lego community may know, Nate Nielson, AKA nnenn, recently died. Many kind words have been said (most of them true), and many creations have been made in tribute to him (most of them good), so I'll let everyone else carry on with that and simply showcase some of this unique and creative builder's Bionicle and Technic-using creations.

His Sishliva Fighter may not look like it at first glance, but balls and sockets form an integral part of the rear construction:


These green ships each have Bionicle pieces forming a large part of them:


Finally, his Jula Mobile Defense Platform (one of my all-time favorites) uses Technic panels to create a deliciously curved body:

Aaron Dayman has ventured into the uncharted (for him, anyway) waters of Bionicle/Technic building, armed only with a seed part (the long gunmetal panels), and created this Scrapmetal-Bot Scorpion. I like the combination of gears and tubing, especially on the tail.
