Doctor Who visits BrickCon 2009

Through a fortunate series of events, Alan McMorran was in Seattle last weekend and dropped by BrickCon for a day. When he wasn’t hanging out with the zombie overlords, he was taking a really cool set of pictures featuring his Doctor Who minifig and LEGO TARDIS.

Here, the good Doctor manages to avoid Josh’s motorized dragon in a cave, part of a massive LEGO Castle display with a 2,000-minifig battle.

Check out all of Alan’s Doctor Who adventure photos on Flickr.

(And in case you’ve missed it, I’ve updated my BrickCon 2009 wrap-up post with more links.)

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.

Castle on the hill

This microscale castle scene by Marcos Bessa looks pretty nifty, especially the dock and the ship. Looking at this makes me want to see a full-blown medieval landscape that rivals the size of the famous Shannonia microcity.

Blasting Frogs, Curly Flames and Wizards of the Forest

Hippotam takes on the evil amphibian menace with his forest wizard and out-of-control, whirly flames!

Dalebottom Keep

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.

Which One’s Cliff

Mr. Brick combines good sculpting, novel techniques and a lot of attention to detail to make the excellent cliff-side diorama of Grimmhavn. The wave techniques in the sea and use of multiple angles really bring an extra air of realism to the display.

Thanks to Klocki for bringing this to my attention.

Castle Carlin by Gage

William Gage has built a very nicely detailed medieval creation that he has dubbed “Castle Carlin”. You have to check out all the nifty details. He says you’d better like it.

Not Instanbul, not Constantinople...Brickistan!

And it’s beautiful! It’s the best layout I’ve seen in a long time. Very few people try to build in this style. The pieces are hard to get, European castles get more press, and the architecture is difficult to pull off. None of that stopped Sandy Cash. As soon as the first pictures started trickling in from Brickfair, we were getting glimpses of this incredible work. Finally, all the pictures are up and Bruce edited a picture of the entire layout. Thanks, Bruce!

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.
