About Caylin

A life-long LEGO fan, Caylin returned to the hobby as an adult in 2003, after her mother bought her a basic creator tub as a joke. Her mother regrets this. She regularly attends BrickCon in Seattle, Washington, where she goes by the title of Prize Goddess. You can check out her flickr account here.

Got Milk?

This creation is just fabulous. Built by Gilcelio Ghagas (Legogil), this iconic milk delivery truck embodies a simpler time when milk actually WAS delivered by these “milk floats”. The details are amazing. I see something new every time I look at it.

The description on the picture gives a ton of great information, so I encourage you to click through and see!

Ruins on the Thomshill River

Another entry into Classic-Castle’s Colossal Castle Contest IX, Knight Eklund shows us something serene and beautiful with this lonely tomb on a hill.


You can see more photos in his photostream, and the entry gallery on flickr.

A LEGO study of classic lines and curves

Cars symbolize so much; we judge people on their taste in cars, we always have aspritions for bigger, sportier, faster cars…but I’m telling you. While I appreciate a lovely car myself, very very few of them make me smile like a 1950s Chevy.

Yep.

So, kudos to you, Patrick. It’s just gorgeous.

Knight’s Quest for the Colossal Castle Contest

It’s two weeks in, and the entries so far for Classic-Castle‘s annual contest are just superb. I do not envy the judges. This particular one by Stefan (busboy489) caught my eye, and I just had to share it. The details in each scene are exquisite. I invite you to check each one out!

LEGO Liberty Inn, London

I’m finding it difficult to pick my favorite shot for this blog, because the Liberty Inn by ZCerberus is just lovely. Every angle has something visually captivating. I picked one to put here, but I whole-heartedly recommend perusing the flickr gallery.

Thanks for the tip, Walt!

LEGO beef-burgers: the trip is long, but the food is worth it

You know, there are some places where it’s just worth it to plan an intergalactic road-trip because the food is just so amazing, that even a trip to a restaurant at the end of the universe is no big deal. I’m pretty sure that’s the case for Rod Gillies‘ fabulous micro-diorama. There’s just something in the beef that makes it all worth it.

Either that, or the ship’s cook is really just that bad and they’re DONE with cafeteria food.

The Rescue of Miss Take

I’d suggest to good Mr. Take that in the future, he should keep a better eye on his progeny and their tendencies to participate in herb-gathering and reciting Shakespeare while cooking over a large cauldron. It scares the locals.

Jalkow‘s beautiful little scene has a lot of great things to it — the base, the rubble on the stairs, the moon… I can’t pick out just one because frankly, all of it is pretty lovely.

Happy Halloween 2011!

Have a fantastic holiday! I hope your costumes are awesome, you gorge yourself on candy and sweets, and there are plenty of trick-or-treaters to your door.

Oh! And I hope you don’t run into this guy:

Many thanks to Jamie Spencer for his fantastic advent calendar this year. If you missed any of them, you can see the whole gallery here!

The LEGO Advent is nearly complete

I have enjoyed opening my flickr page each day and seeing what Jamie Spencer (morgan19) has posted, so it’s a little bittersweet to know that advent is nearly done.

Fortunately, I’ve got two more days before it’s all done. Bwahahahahaha.

See the rest of the week’s minifigures here:

LEGO Tartarus by Lolino

Time is running thin for Classic-Castle‘s Micro Castle Contest, and I assure you, I do not envy the judge(s). Lolino weighs in with this impressive interpretation of Tartarus.

Wikipedia provides an excellent explanation of the location and purpose for any who are interested!

Tread Carefully–there be dragons here

Upon first glance, Taylor (Stormbringer) shows us just how lovely a good bit of landscaping can be. A good deal of overgrowth, a nice little cliff, and a tree to tie it all together, with some intrepid outdoor explorers crawling all over it for good measure.

I invite you to look just a little closer, though, and please remember that you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Thank for the tip, Dan A!
