I came across this wonderful layout of a world war II battle in Normandy, made by Lugpol members Pit Mrutek Rasch Glaz Pimpur dmac Borys Misiek Axel Nexus 7 Matix Szarik Kris Kelvin and many other water helpers.
The amount of detail is incredibly vast that is difficult to enumerate and where to start. I will mention just a few details that caught my attention: the notion of movement in the water, the explosions, the detail of the studless vehicles and mainly the many scenes with minifigs that give life to this scenario.

Toys N bricks had publish the first official pictures from the upcoming series of Collectible Mifigures. Like previous collections, these new series presents new historical figures that will delight many LEGO fans.
The 6th series presents a roman warrior. Personally I’ve been waiting for ages for the LEGO roman empire. This figure and the new rounded bricks of the Atlantis sets will make a beautiful combination 
This collection also presents a barbarian warrior, which is nice for the battles against the roman army, and a cowboy that will fit perfectly in any western MOC.
The 7th series presents a Viking warrior (girl?), a cool hippie that will fit nicely 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van and, my favorite, the Aztec warrior (or at least, what I think that it is). The mermaid man will also make a cool Neptune roman god of the sea.

Incredible western diorama that Shmails presents today. Many of the “good” old west in a 64×64 baseplate. Among the impressive details I would point out the cactus, the wooden structure of the hanging, the cart leaving the smoke behind and, my favorite, the jail’s explosion! The door flying and the color gradient turns it very “dynamic”.

Jonathan (aka Shmails) presented this great scene of a Western duel that he submitted into the Eurobricks Spaghetti Western Contest. He managed to get a nice and classic western feeling with a good amount of details. Don’t forget to admire the vulture and notice how the bricks direction gives a nice wooden effect in the houses’ walls. I just missed the Saloon in this diorama. The cotton is a recent but common technique to simulate gun smoke that work very well.
