Details: The Michigan LEGO Users Group has gone all-out for this spectacular town layout. The season is clearly winter, and you can see snow in most of the layout. Note the expanded version of the Winter Toy Shop kit and the clever "aluminum tree" lot that uses Rock Raider drill parts as trees.

This is Sunday's model of the day

Details: Moko has been surprising me with his series of models made with chrome LEGO® pieces. I have no idea how he managed to get such a stockpile of these. I do know, though, that this is one awesome bike. I'm not sure quite what type of wheels are being used here, but I love the way they're attached. The windshield and lights look great too - the lights look like those small newer slopes in transparent colors to me. I'm a bit jealous - I don't have any of those. If you want to try making something like this, make sure to check out the shot that explains the studs-not-on-top part placement.
