About Josh

Josh is 30+ years old and has more Lego than he has hair. Which really isn't saying much. He builds mostly medieval creations, but dabbles in other genres. He is also a father and uses his kids as an excuse to buy Lego. That justification isn't working as well as it used to, so if you can think of a better justification, feel free to contact him. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Josh's Brickshelf gallery gets messier and messier. Josh also has a Flickr gallery, if you care about such things. He goes by the name "floodllama" there. If you wonder why he goes by "floodllama", you've obviously never owned a llama in flood. Josh feels sorry for you.

Under the Sea

Juho William Tauriainen takes us on an underwater adventure with this scene built largely from Bionicle pieces. He has managed to achieve a very organic, eye-catching look here.

He’s in your yard and he’s watching you

This lawn gnome, by Adam Hally is adorable. He’s probably up to no good, but he is cute. I think I need a couple of them.

These are craving the open road

Lego911 has hand-crafted these two beauties. Lovely, simply lovely.

A tribute to the King of Pop-Ups

Nathan Sawaya has created a gorgeous tribute to Waldo H. Hunt, the King of Pop-Up Books. By the way, this is also Nathan’s first castle.

Thanks to Bruce for pointing this out on Classic-Castle.

Anyone home?

This fetching little scene, by Bart De Dobbelaer, is packed with lots of fun little details. It truly gives new meaning to “Catch of the Day”!

The Time Twisters Contest [News]

Two members of Classic Castle, Aliencat and Bluesecrets, are putting on something called “The Time Twisters Contest“. I know you are wondering if this has something to do with that bizarre theme from the ’90s. The answer is ‘No’.

They want you to “medievalize” an official Lego set….any official Lego set. Here is an example of what they are looking for:

Pick a set, any set. Figure out how it would look as a “Castle” set and build it. Naturally, you don’t have to actually own the original set, as you do not need use the pieces. Go Twist some Time!

Cole is bugging me

This Battle Bug, by Cole Blaq, is climbing out of my screen and coming after me. I’m going to post it so it can infest your life as well. Why should I be the only one?

Lino runs like a Deere

This gem is how Lino rolls on the farm. His John Deere tractor sports a roll bar so you don’t have to worry about gopher holes flipping you under the mower.

Castle Falkengrund

Mr. Brick must know that I’m a sucker for medieval snow scenes….

Sometimes simplest is best...

This simple design for a cell is flirting with perfect. I wouldn’t have thought to use the garage door pieces for a jail, but then I didn’t have to….Andrew Colunga did.

Leprechaun of the Endless Void

This freighter, by Soren, threw me for a loop. I didn’t realize it was micro-scale. Leprechaun is a very appropriate name, I’m thinkin’.

Lady Kopaka Creates

Juho William Tauriainen has created a creative creation. The pose is actually rather striking.
