New Templar Order
Sylvia Tresto


   New Templar Order is a website gathering information for the forces of the religion New Templar Order. They fled from earth to find peace in the universe but the Terran Union is trying to bring them down. The web site has information and photos of many of their own crafts and units, no doubt info the Terran Union would kill for - so beware! The site also gathers data on enemy ships along with photos, to help the Knights of New Templar Order win the war.

To calm down and step out of the role a little, Sylvi has made a whole line of MOC’s that fit in the universe that’s being created. A lot of neat space designs! The “enemy forces” is another side of the war and has it’s own special ships and units.

I hope we’ll also see some dioramas around the MOC’s someday, there certainly is material for it!

.space!

digitalbricks.nl
Jeroen de Haan


   Probably one of the more overlooked AFOL sites, digitalbricks.nl touts a small variety of interesting works, including a few classic car models, some tutorials on high quality rendering and assorted train model .mpd files, however, seems to carry an emphasis on graphics, with a surprising collection of trains-related posters (which are of exceptional, high dpi quality!) Although the site in general seems to still be in its planning stages with many projects apparently on the drawing board, future updates may increase the content. In all, not too shabby.

Building Utopolis
Michel Labelle


   Skyscrapers galore! Some ten really interesting skyscrapers rise to the sky at Building Utopolis. The shapes and colors of these should stand out in any LEGO city, and if not, their impressive height sure does! Apart from the 1.83-meter monster building there is also some inspiration for those with less LEGO in their collection... check out the 10x10’s! Nanofig skyscrapers! Michel Labelle’s sense of design is also put to good use on the site itself; it’s not often you find such nice designs that are still functional!

Bruce’s Homepage - LEGO
Bruce Lowell


   Bruce Lowell is a Star Wars-loving AFOL, but it does not hinder him from visiting other genres as well. Although his Star Wars customs (many built in one-foot-to-one-stud scale) are excellent, his best work IMHO is his Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters! And for those of us who don’t own a collection big enough to make those large mosaics, Bruce comes to the rescue! But for the love of LEGO, don’t miss his large collection of Star Wars MOC’s! starships, vehicles, creatures, custom figures, that über-cute Death Star and a lot more!

Serious LEGO
Jonathan “JP” Brown


   My bet is: If you’re slightly interested in LEGO Mindstorms, you have already seen this excellent site by JP Brown. Especially his CubeSolver that solves a three-sided Rubik’s Cube in about ten minutes. Even The LEGO Company was so impressed by his work that they asked him to make some copies for them! True, the CubeSolver is an amazing creation and it might take some of the “coolness” away from his other works, but they are all worth checking out! So, take a deep breath and prepare to launch to this weeks Cool LEGO Site! Oh! And make sure to duck for the Aegis!

BZPower


   BZPower is for Bionicle what LUGNET and BrickShelf are for the non-Bionicle AFOL: a place to meet, discuss topics, and share pictures. As a non-Bionicle fan, I’ve learned more about Bionicle going through the quick-nav than I thought I’d ever learn. And I can see why Bionicle is a smash-hit with kids. Especially the “Parents Guide” was a great section of BZPower. So, no matter if you like Bionicle or not, head on over and learn something new!

rtlToronto


   rtlToronto is a group of people in the Toronto, Ontario (Canada) area having fun with LEGO. Since most of these people enjoy LEGO Mindstorms and Trains, that’s what they primary do. rtlToronto is one of the most organized LEGO fan groups in the world, and still they are pretty unorganized. Their love of the brick and their eagerness to laugh at one another when their robots fail seems to keep the group going -- and going strong! Check out their destructive robotics competitions as well as their constructive train events!
