While a functional camera it is not, this impressively detailed DSLR camera was made entirely using LEGO bricks. Everything down to the LEGO tank tread strap was crafted using LEGO products.

I'm not exactly well-known for my fine gourmet cooking. Unless I really put my mind into it, my skills stop at chucking a few handfuls of chicken nuggets on a baking sheet. But despite my lack of culinary prowess, I still admire this LEGO Brick Spice Rack, simply as an awesome new furnishing.
