| Name of Model: Parthenon | | Created by: torgugick | | Found at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=296088 | Details:
 Here is a rendering of the Parthenon in LEGO® bricks. Microscale was a wise choice for this one - otherwise it would use up a few thousand parts, easily. Tile plates were used to make the roof and studs-not-on-top parts were used to make sideways tiles serve as part of the artwork. The parts on the top of the sides are from cockpit hinges, and the top of the front uses some Technic bricks and some 1x1 clip-tiles. Although this model doesn't take up the whole 15 inch square baseplate that it sits on, there are no LEGO® studs showing in the model itself. | | This is Wednesday's model of the day |

| Name of Model: HombaMkII - A New Version of the Homba 7033 | | Created by: imhotepidus | | Found at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=243437 | Details:
 If you've been following the newer LEGO models and building trends, then you've probably already seen quite a few LEGO models that try to avoid looking like LEGO models. New curved elements go with other large parts, older tiles, and older slopes and suddenly you can have a whole LEGO model with none of the familiar LEGO studs facing outwards. This model is particularly interesting because it uses tiles and arch elements to smooth the outside of the model, but still uses more traditional LEGO "sculpting" techniques to make curvature in the other direction. Also, there are some interesting details (some are custom details, but most are just some of the less common LEGO elements). Oh, and did I mention that it's a cool spaceship! | | (This is Wednesday's model of the day.) |
