It always amazes me that the competitors are able to put together such great models with no warning of the topic, and a very limited time budget. Which for me would be a total nightmare scenario: I'm much more comfortable being able to spend 2 weeks fiddling around trying to get the elbows right on my quarterly character creation.
Three recent entries that caught my attention are actually sizable minifig-based scenes. The one I'm gonna show you today is the work of Australian builder Gabriel Thomson.
At first glance you could be forgiven for saying "oh look, another minifig version of the bridge from the original Star Trek series, yawn". But keep looking, dear reader!
Mr Spock, what's that on the scanner? It appears to be something completely different, Captain...
Oh no, it's the Crimson Permanent Assurance (from Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life", you Philistines!). We're under attack from financial pirates! Also, I like fezes; fezes are cool.
Let me just repeat that in case it's not clear what Gabriel has created here: Monty Python invading Star Trek. How awesome is that! If you look closely you'll see Doctor Who even makes a brief cameo. So that's two really cool British shows invading one used-to-be-kind-of-cool-but-then-became-rather-lame American show. Imperialists 2, Colonials 1! :-)
