Vampires Suck

Lego Steampunk Vampire Hunter

Twilight, the favourite fantasy of teenage girls everywhere, is not well understood in TLCB Towers. There are no cars (apart from the odd Volvo advertisement), little discernible acting talent present in the movies, and a there’s plot-hole* large enough to park a Steampunk Airship in. Which is handy, as that’s exactly what we’ve got here. Castor Troy’s ‘Vampire Hunter’ is full of phyiscs-bending whimsy and would be just the thing to liven up a dull love story between the undead and the world’s most boring teenager. You can see more of Mr. Troy’s magnificent ship on Flickr.

*Edward Cullen, whilst he likes to suck blood, possesses none himself. No blood means no… er, you know… Quite how he managed to conceive a child with Kirsten Stewart defies even TLCB’s rudimentary knowledge of sex-ed.

Bioshock

Lego Bioshock Infinite AirshipThis beautiful ‘Security Zeppelin’ airship from the computer game Bioshock Infinite was recently uncovered on Flickr by one of our Elves. The builder is [Stijn Oom], and you can see more of his amazing recreation of the Irrational Games’ design by clicking his hyperlinked name.

Eerie Airship

Lego Airship

If airships could look evil…

This sinister looking contraption, an airship from the mind of Si MOCs on MOCpages, actually fulfils a noble purpose; re-gassing the Earth’s depleted ozone layer (according to the notes by the builder). Mixing Bionicle, Technic and Town pieces to great effect, Si MOCs’ ‘T-Blimp’* is an entry into the popular annual MOCathalon competition running on MOCpages. See more of the creation, and the MOCathalon competition, by clicking on the link above.

*Despite its name it’s not actually a ‘blimp’ – we’re pedantic like that!

Come fly with me…

Airship

Insert Rachel Weisz for twice the awesome

This might just be the coolest contraption we’ve ever featured. Psiaki’s steampunky airship walks the thin road to genius often trodden by those of mad-scientist persuasion. It also reminds us of the flying boat in The Mummy Returns. Which in turn makes us think of Rachel Weisz (surely the only reason to watch that film?), and for generating that circuitous link we are very grateful. View it on Flickr, and then maybe Google pictures of Rachel Weisz…
