Stephen (busboy489) has chimed in with his entry to the 32×32 challenge at Classic-Castle–aptly named Castello Rosso. I particularly like the angles of the towers on the base, and the inclusion of the dark red to break up the bright red.

Blacksmith o’ the Crown
A timber-and-stone, house-and-shop combo is always nifty and being somewhat versed in the dark art myself, I’m partial to blacksmith creations. However, this one by Peter deYeule is especially nice.
A stable for every horse.
Us castle-people build all sorts of things:fortresses, castles, lovely landscaping, and sometimes the occasional tavern or two. Many of the scenes all include horses–but so rarely to we stop to build a place for the horse. It’s a travesty!
Fortunately, Peter deYeule has taken it upon himself to build a stable. Thanks, Peter. The horses are grateful.
32×32 in Red
Classic-Castle‘s current 32×32 Building Challenge focuses on the three primary colors–and Harry Russell has risen to the occasion beautifully. His contribution focuses on Red, and the whole atmosphere is simply haunting.
Prettier with water
Water makes a lot of landscapes look better by giving them a sense of life and movement. In this diorama by Tom Simon, water is used to great effect in enhancing the look of the scene. In particular, the color gradient of the river and the widening flow of the waterfall are techniques that warrant imitation. With such great irrigation, I wonder why there are no crops in the field.
Castle has the Blues
Matthew Hurt just posted this nifty island castle. As it is a response to the Primary Color Challenge, on Classic Castle, it has lots of blue. Surprisingly, that gives it a rather elegant flair. I’m liking it.
Kowe’on Sanctuary
Edit: Apparently the name is “No Ewok” backwards, which makes sense, because there is an Ewok in there. :)
The tree itself is a knockout, but the action and whimsy that surrounds it makes this creation something special. I Scream Clone has it going on.
Mister Clone was nice enough to humor me when I asked for a new overall shot. Thank you!
Church of St. Lazarus
Rhox, a relatively new adult fan, posted his fantastic church over at Classic-Castle. He’s a member of the Czechoslovakian Kostky.org.
I cannot wait to see what else he’s got in store!
Land of Eternal Bad Luck
Being a minifigure in lolas‘s word has its ups and downs–but I daresay there are certainly more downs. How could there not be? He calls this the Land of Eternal Bad Luck!
This diorama includes some of his previous works, each just as lovely as the next. The Leaning Tower, Cape of No Hope, and After the Storm all help make up the larger work.
Little John meets Robin Hood
I’m a sucker for landscaping. I like when it adds to the scene, and helps amplify it. Johnathon Gilbert‘s creation does just that for me:
It has a sense of action, and makes me wonder what would happen if they lost their balance on that log! The implied movement in the water tells me it might not be pretty…
Green Dragon Tavern by Matthew Hurt
I love LEGO’s new Kingdoms line, especially the Green Dragon faction, so I’m happy to start seeing some things inspired by it, especially beautiful castle town creations like this tavern by Matthew Hurt.
Photos of the interior details in the Green Dragon Tavern photoset are well worth checking out and are what really make this worth it for me.
Heavenly light shines on this land of fantasy
A group of Japanese builders including MisaQa and Kotaro “EARL-0″ Ono constructed this epic fantasy world. And if this much work went into a sketch of the project, it shouldn’t come as a surprise the awesomeness of the finished work.
