Dragons! Knights in shining armor! Trebuchets & ballistas! From enormous LEGO castles buttoned up for battle to peaceful village market scenes, we’ve got your LEGO Castle needs covered right here.

Daniel Z’s castle evolution (stage 2)

Here is the second stage of Daniel Z‘s castle evolution project, in which the small cottage dwelling in stage 1 has acquired some stone fortifiction and new structures within. This is turning out to be very fascinating to watch.

Behind the scenes at the Royal Applery

Where did medieval apple pies, apple sauce, and other appley treats come from? Philip Stark (Erdbeereis) has the answer:

The Black Falcons can see a very long way from their Watchtower

Flush with the success of Shannonia, Shannon Young (MOCpages | Flickr) demonstrates his castle-building prowess with Black Falcon’s Watchtower:

Eti’s Itty bitty 10193

Erik Smit (Eti) has created a lovely little microscale version of 10193 Medieval Market Village, complete with horse and cart, cows, and buildings that open and close.

It’s more than a tree in the Ent

Flickr’s Arzlan calls it a tree man, Tolkien calls it an Ent, I call it cool. I love the cleverly concealed joints, and the work with the vines at the top is fantastic. I’m never able to make organic stuff look right, so I always appreciate it when someone else does.

Daniel Z plans a castle evolution

Daniel Z has planted the first creation in what’s to become an evolution of castle. This wooden castle will eventually evolve into a much larger stone castle through several stages. I look forward to seeing the subsequent additions.

Prepare for the sacrifice

Welcome to the Temple of Roxolotyl, by Rocko of course. This fresh take on an ancient civilizaiton rarely depicted in LEGO really contrasts well with the other castle creations in Rocko’s repertoire. Note the well planned brick pattern on the steps and the unattended fire in the backyard.

Nabii’s ornithopter flits and flies

Mark Stafford (Nabii) is a master at incorporating LEGO SYSTEM and Bionicle elements into his creations. While the wings on his Flitterfly ornithopter are Bionicle, the cockpit and fuselage are almost entirely SYSTEM.

I’m particularly keen on the radial engine and the Viking tiles on the tail.

The lovely Queen of Hearts Castle

This majestic castle by Edward C (Reejoc) isn’t any ordinary fortification; it’s home to the Queen of Hearts and her loyal guards. To get to the castle, you must find your way through the thorned hedge maze, which is the first of its kind done in LEGO.

Some other cool features include the floating rock garden, the watchtower, and an intricate throne room. The inspiration for this creation was drawn from, as you guessed it, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

The barrister is in.

Yvonne Doyle ({YVD}) posted her lovely Barrister’s Office before I joined The Brothers Brick as a blogger. I was reminded of it again today, though, and when I saw that it hadn’t been covered here, I had to post about it.

I love the paneled wall that she’s built out of crates, and the lamp with green glass is absolutely perfect. This is exactly what I imagine a barrister or attorney’s office should look like. Of course, I work in a cubicle, as does every attorney at the office of the firm where I work, but a man can dream.

Apparently dwarves like roller coasters.

This is news to me, but flickr’s SlyOwl has done a fantastic job of showing us the medieval thrill rides built by the bearded miners. The twisting track is awesome, and he’s added a fantastic sense of motion with the minifigs on board. Of course, he’s not content to merely show us the ride in motion, he’s also built an accompanying display of the entrance to the ride, complete with jesters entertaining the patrons waiting in line. Don’t forget to check out the little details in the roller coaster scene, like the section of track that seems to be held up by bats, and the section of fallen track on the cave floor. Is that guano under the bats?

Arrr! Shiver-me space-timbers!

Andrew Lee (Wintermute/Onosendai) has built quite an awesome pirate mecha. He has proven once again that he is the master of sticker use, using only official LEGO stickers. The weapons compliment is very nice as well, from the arm blades for breaching space-galleon hulls to the grappling hook.
