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.

Building the Printing Press

busboy489 built Gutenberg’s printing press for Classic-Castle‘s CCCVII contest, in the Technological Advances category.

I really like the arches for the ceiling–they really give a sense of space for me, making the room look even bigger, despite the HUGE press.

The Bradford Rant Institute brings forth questions, but no answers.

While the connection appears a bit vague, a the Bradford Rant Institute appears to have some sort of connection to LEGO — or so it seems. A least, that’s what the disclaimer at the bottom says.

The “pod” is also a pretty dead giveaway.

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

Legolord‘s Dawnshire Keep is a treat for the eye. There’s plenty to see in every photo, with so much action, landscaping, and well-built designs.

And for you fellow Christopher Moore fans–Dawnshire Keep is guarded first and foremost by a fool.

Avenue of the Dead by Amber Arts

Amber Arts is relatively new to the hobby as a builder, but she’s quickly proving to have a great eye. Her entry into Classic-Castle‘s Colossal Castle Contest VII is simply exquisite:

I shall place you on a pillar.

Michael Jasper is brilliant when it comes to Mini-figure scale models–and his pillar technique is no exception.

It seems to be made up of light-saber blades and this gear. You can see more of his mini-figure scale creations here!

Thanks to Bruce for the find!

Lonely Keep by Busboy489

Flickr user and Classic-Castle member busboy489 posted this fantastic keep. Considering it’s really his first Castle creation in 7 years, I’m definitely thinking this guy is one to keep an eye on.

For added presentation, he’s posted a time-lapse video of the build. Check it out!

Lékyn Temple by JD Luse

Flickr user JD Luse (Jesse) has finally posted pictures of his magnificent temple. I don’t think the pictures do this justice–it was on display at BrickCon, and certainly was a sight to behold!

Some of the best things come in tiny packages.

Flickr and Classic-Castle member TooMuchCaffeine has posted this gorgeous entry for Classic-Castle’s Mini Castle Contest:

The micro-castle itself is rather lovely, but what really caught my eye was the presentation. Building his castle to fit inside the chest was ingenious!

Viva La Revolution!

Flickr user -infomaniac- strikes fear into the heart of the upper class with his diorama depicting the beginnings of a revolution:

I love the sense of utter chaos captured here! Nothing says anarchy quite like a brick through a window, either.

The new sets just keep getting smaller and smaller...

In addition to the fantastic new creations coming out of Dan’s Mini Castle Contest V, we get to see immense creativity in micro-scale recreations of our favorite classic castle sets.

Griffon brings an excellent rendition of 6080 LEGOLand Castle, originally released in 1984:

It even opens up, just like the original! Check out the rest of the photos on Brickshelf.

Amidst the snowy mountains...

This was just too good to pass up. The Schubert family created this amazing Alpine Village, which was displayed at BrickFair. The only photos appear to be on Brickshelf from Abe (scrope), another attendee.
