Classic-Castle user Karrde posted his excellent interpretation of the 32×32 Castle Challenge, Dalebottom Keep:
The whole build has some interesting aspects. Part of his goal was to include plenty of playability and modularity. I think he succeeded.

I’m sure I was told not to judge something by its cover.
The same applies to this creation, from Jonathon Derksen. An entry for the 23rd Challenge over at LUGNuts, the red truck is quite unassuming:
But have a look inside and see why you want this truck on YOUR side during the Zombie Apocalypse.
A Hall, fit for a King
Brickshelf user and Classic-Castle member nanuck95 posted this Throne Room:
Each detail deserves recognition! I particularly like floor design, the statues, and most of all–the eagle adorning the wall above the thrones.
A Mansion, splendid with finery
Brickshelf user ppoa66 posted this magnificent Mansion:
The details are incredible! The builder includes some amazing shots, like this darkened one detailing the stained glass windows.
Thanks to Johan for the find!
Our (micro) Town
Janey “Red Brick” Gunning posted this magnificent micro-scale rendition of 10184 Town Plan.
Each building is completely recognizable as being the mini-version of it’s minifig-scale counterpart. For close-up shots, check out the theater, the gas station, and the courthouse!
I have another puzzle for you...
Craig Lyons (legolyons) has added a new addition to his Wonka Universe:
The whole thing just works for me: the fantastic purple forklift, the head-sized jawbreakers, and the Oompa Loompas. You can get a better view of the Oompa Loompas here, as well as his Willy Wonka and Mr. Slugworth mini-figures.
Down by the river...
Flickr user einsteinonthebeach1982 posted this gorgeous River Citadel. It has so much incredible detail! It’s hard to pick my favorite.
Every detail is well thought-out and exquisitely executed, from the landscaping to the marketplace and well inside the Citadel itself.
The Bionic Ogre
Anthony Sava challenged Classic-Castle members to build their own version of Steve the Ogre.
Sebastiaan Arts (Aliencat) took a more…modern approach.

Time-Bending in 100 Parts or Less
Crimson Wolf uses great techniques and parts for this Steampunk creation. I particularly like the parts used on the windows:
It probably helps that I’m a sucker for sepia tones in photography, but I like that the treatment on this gives it a sort of “old-timey” flair.

Hi. I’m Caylin, and I build with bricks.
So! I suppose I need to formally introduce myself.
Hi! I’m Caylin. I’ve been an adult fan of LEGO since Christmas 2003, when mom bought me a Creator tub as joke. I think she may regret that.
You’ll commonly find me at Classic Castle, but I’ve been known to post a bit at both FBTB and Eurobricks. As Josh mentioned, I’m active with SEALug, attending BrickCon regularly since 2005. I attended the last two BrickFests in Portland, too.
I’ve spend a great deal of time in the last few years working on St. Anthony’s Cathedral, but I do, in fact, build other things. I SWEAR. Of which you’ll undoubtedly see more of as BrickCon grows ever closer. You should register. Really!
So far as other hobbies and things are concerned, I do enjoy photography (which you’ll find in copious amounts on my flickr stream. I draw a great deal, and spend an awful lot of time on the water in Lake Union.
I’m really excited to be part of The Brothers Brick!Since I’m a huge fan of castle creations, you’ll be sure to see creations from that theme highlighted quite a bit. I adore Pirates and Steampunk, too, so look out for those.
With that said, thanks for the kind welcome! I appreciate it.
Now, I return you to your regularly scheduled Blog.
