Stefan (– 2×4 –) has built a fun little diorama of a heroic dragon hunter, on what is probably his last hunt. I love the sense of motion this scene evokes, with both the “dragon” and hunter poised in mid-air.
As Arthur C Clarke said, “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
Luke Watkins posted this fantastic church from the Medieval Life category from Classic-Castle’s CCCVII:
The details all around are just incredible. I love the stone look to the building itself. The shields around the base are simply fantastic and add a great sense of completion to the creation.
First is an everyday sight for me, goat theft thwarted by a bull mountain troll. I’m not sure which of Steve Vargo’s (:jovian:) features I like the best, the goats, the troll, the nature bits, the action capture or the rail fence. I really don’t know.
The second is something I see slightly less frequently, but it is still a pretty common sight: cow theft in giant flying washtubs. Precisely what Liwnik captures in this great scene. I particularly like the resulting crop circle. It explains a lot.
That’s PC487(d)(1) in California, if you want to get all technical about it.
Stefan (busboy89) posted a fantastic fortification on a cliff, calling it Garrison at Pickerel Point. The whole creation is simply lovely, with all the rich detail. I personally adore the ivy on the cliff side.
Um. Yeah. Wow. And this is only one of about half a dozen phenomenal creations by Daniel Z “DNL” posted this past week for pretty much every category in the Colossal Castle Contest VII. This one stands out to me because brown is an unusual color for castle creations, castles of this tone and type are actually more common throughout the world than we initially think, and I like brown. There! I said it. I like brown.
The architecture of mr. eugene‘s Wizard’s Castle follows a daring design with the bulk of its weight balanced on three support stands. If that’s not already impressive, the castle boosts some elaborate designs such as the observation tower, not to mention having a fully detailed interior.
Classic-Castle member and customizer babyjawa posted a fantastic creation for the Custom Castle Figure portion of CCCVII: Thor!
BJ has a great eye for his custom figures, and Thor is no exception.
If you’re still working on your last-minute entries into Classic-Castle‘s CCCVII, you should know you’ve got 3 hours until the deadline (11:59pm EST).
With that said, there have been some excellent entries this year–I don’t envy the judges, since they’ve got the hard job.
Flickr user 2 Much Caffeine has submitted another fantastic creation: Feast of Fools!
The action really caught my eye. It just has this great sense of sheer pandemonium, which I’d very much associate with a feast of this kind.
Good luck to all of the entrants this year!
Their 1-step plan is apparently to have their members build mindbogglingly awesome stuff, again and again and again. Really, I want to know how the creations posted online with the little lugpol logo are so consistently great.
crises-crs‘ Zero to Hero – part 1: Winter
Great by itself, but in parts 2 and 3, he subtly changes the lighting, some building details, and the action to capture the different feel of the seasons and the progress of the hero’s training.
For a very different feel, but equally neat creation, here’s PigletCiamek‘s Arabian Street 2: The Caravanserai.
Any lugpol members out there, please tell us why you are so totally cool. I know it’s nothing sinister, but I would like to know what certain groups do to regularly present such an impressive level of building, LowLUG is another prime example.
Sebastian Arts (Aliencat!) posted pictures of this church based on a real one in Sherpenheuvel, Belgium. Like any great creation there are a lot of different things to like, but for me it’s the basic color scheme and uneven wall texture.
He has more on his MOCpages, including fantastic rear and interior details.
That’s right, the orcs are bringing the battle to you in their moving castle built by Tyler Clites (Legohaulic). Chalk one up for the bad guys!
This video demonstrates the moving castle in a funny short, it’s a must see!
Flickr user and Classic-Castle member 2 Much Caffeine has posted another entry for the CCCVII—Castle of Illusion.
The set includes a photo detailing how he achieved the optical illusion without using a photo editing program. I am impressed with the amount of thought that went in not only to building this, but photographing and presenting it!
