Great inspiration can be found just everywhere. Peter Morris come up with idea of a batstarfighter when he found a misprinted (white) batman torso in his set.
I wonder how rare is this torso. Does anyone have one of these?

Please note: Indiana Jones Contest ends this week!
During last few weeks a lot of Indiana Jones creations were built by AFOLs around the world. Some of them were submitted to our Indiana Jones Building Contest, some not (and they should!). Let’s take a look at few of them:
Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj) created several wonderful scenes:
Crises shows a classic scene of Indy and the staff of Ra:
And Majek pictures Indy and Johny Thunder heading for the same treasure:
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat”. In Spielberg’s Jaws Sheriff Martin Brody (Roy Schneider) says it to his crewmate Quint (Robert Shaw) when he sees the shark for the first time. This 70’s Oscar hit still inspires AFOLs all over the world.
Recently Brickshelf user OrionPax (Alex) published a nice diorama with the final battle between the killer shark and the crew of “Orca”:
It shows that Alex spent a while studying how the original boat looks like - we can even see the yellow airtanks.
Also our Ricardo (Evildead) has a Jaws-inspired creation in his gallery. Here’s Orca docked in port of Amity:
There is also a couple jaws-like clips on Youtube, here’s my favorite (unfortunately, the person who uploaded it is not the author):
And, if you never saw the Spielberg’s masterpiece here’s the trailer:
This is fast! We did not even started to accept entries and Piotrek Builder delivers his first Indy vignette built for our contest!
You probably remember this scene. Dr. Jones uses thee flock of seagulls to take down a Nazi fighter. Cool!
Misterzumbi is busy. Misterzumbi does not have time for bricks. Or cars. I know this is a bit egoistic, but I hope it’s his job what keeps him busy…
A few rare moments of free time he had during the last three months, Misterzumbi invested in this cool model of Oldsmobile:
I think I will be better if I just let Misterzumbi speak (translation of his LUGPol post):
“If you say say this car has twisted proportions, you are probably right - this car is from cult German cartoon “Werner”. There are two versions of it, and the model is more or less a mixture of both. First version is obviously the one designed for the movie and there a lot of it in brick-built model - the color, the details. Front skull is missing, but I did not figured out how to build it, and finally I decided that whatever I built it would look crappy.
But Roetger Feldmann who is a “father” of Werner, thought it would be cool to have such beauty in real life, in his garage. Together with his brother Andi obtained an Oldsmobile and made this already long monster a half a meter longer - both sides. The real one is dirty-brown plus rust, lacks the skull but instead has a wooden back platform which I build ’cause I liked it…”
And here’s how this car looks in the movie:
