I just put up 4 new pictures from the NELUG display at The Construction Site in
Waltham MA. This is mostly Suzanne Rich's stuff which I had not had a chance
to photograph yet. I also got a better pic of Chris Phillips' windmill.
The pictures can be found following the link on the homepage.

Now time to build my UCS Tie-Fighter and my Race Set (I now have Green hair!!).
Actually the Race set looks really cool it is the $29.99 set 6713 and its also
a game. Look for a review comming soon once I get it built.

This is a rough quotation from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail,
when King Arthur and his men stumble on a castle manned by Frenchmen.
They use the ruse of a Trojan Bunny to gain entrance, only they forget
to put anyone inside. A little earlier, the Frenchmen fired a cow over
the wall onto KA & his men. The quote comes from the French officer
ordering his men to get the cow... The presence of the bunny on the
battlefield looked like a tip of the hat to Monty Python...

Already done - the little ornamental fish that decorate the tops of roofs in
the ninja sets have a peg that minifigs can grab. This allowed the creation
of one of my greatest heroes, Sushi Warrior. With a fish in each hand and
another stuck in the peg on his head, he's easily a match for any foe.

Oooh! You should take action shots of him engaging in the fish-slapping dance!

A LEGO employee is probably a Monty Python fan, the Soccertruck also had
this scene in the castle display:

See the top of the rightmost tower!
Monty Python rules :-)
"I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king"
"Look, strange women lying on their backs in ponds handing out swords ...
that's no basis for a system of government."

"Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from
some farcical aquatic ceremony!"
"Be quiet!"
"You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery
tart threw a sword at you!"
"Shut up!"
"Why, if I went round, saying I was king, just 'cause some moistened bint
had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!"
"Shut up, will you shut up!"
"Oh, now we see the violence inherent in the system. Come and see the
violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm bein' repressed!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that, eh?! You saw him repressin' me?
You saw it didn't you?!"
Sorry, just had to finish that off. :-D

Thanks Dave,
I was feeling a bit incomplete after that.
I need to go and buy MP&THG because my VCR ate my copy :^(

That is a Trojan Rabbit. The ears are pose-able, thanks to a pair of Technic
pins at their bases. I purposely made the door on the front of the rabbit
extremely obvious. (Easier and funnier that way.)
After hours of serious castle-building, I needed a quick project to knock off
for a little bit of comic relief. (Did you ever start building something
before you'd even decided what you were going to build?) But when I brought it
in to show to some people at work, I was told that it was not faithful to the
Python original, because I _remembered_ to put soldiers inside! For the
record, in the TCS window display, the rabbit is empty.
"Perhaps if we construct a large, wooden badger..."

Sounds like something Hugh Heffner would make :-)
