Sebastian Arts’ fascinating castle layout has a highly unusual shape. Inside the fortress there are all sorts of installments to sustain medieval life, including a small church, the royal manor, and a giant trebuchet to ward off invaders.

Tower of torment
Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) deals pain in his latest wonderfully imaginative creation depicting an ominous torture tower nested precariously on a barren rocky landscape. As usual, there’s always new techniques and details to be seen for the first time by all of us in Tyler’s new creations. Note the dead trees featuring black droid arms and hand pieces and the slanted effect of the tower sections.
Lord Jirt’s Castle
Daniel Z built another stunning castle creation with plenty of details to admire. It is most worthwhile to note the cross-shaped windows on the castle walls, which are made using disassembled minifig legs.
Hideout in the Rock
Kris Kelvin presents the hideout of a group of troll warriors in an abandoned mine in the mountains. Check out the spacious interior and note the amazing stone steps.
The Siege of Ung’Thol
The sixth Colossal Castle Contest on Classic-Castle.com is certainly yielding some great entries this year, including this excellent siege scene by tiberium_blue.
The smoke trailing behind the fiery projectile is hard to miss, but the tiled walls are also something I hadn’t specifically noticed before, though it’s not the first time tiberium_blue has used it.
Don’t miss the full Siege of Ung’Thol photoset on Flickr.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Trolls!
Happy Thanksgiving from Clancy and his new bride, Greta!
King’s Castle – a crowning achievement
An undisputed master of castle, Rocko, presents perhaps his best work called King’s Castle, a rising structure from the waters with fortification on all four sides. Overall, the builder estimates over 10,000 pieces used to complete the creation, and I’ve not dared to ask how much time went into the whole project (not to mention the cost). Entered ito the CCCVI contest, this creation is likely to overshadow the other entries.
The Brick Testament updated with Book of Job
Comforting to some, deeply challenging to others, the Book of Job has long stirred discussion among believers in the Judeo-Christian religious tradition.
The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith gives Job The Brick Testament treatment with eight pictorial stories, including God speaking to Job from within a whirlwind:
Daniel lays siege to Elenaï
Daniel Z charges into the Colossal Castle Contest VI with “The Siege of Elenaï.”
The trebuchet and wooden hoardings are certainly excellent, but my favorite detail is the group of sappers who think they’ve dug deep enough to mine under the moat. They’re in for a surprise!

Through the wormhole with Rocko
In his latest vignette, Rocko summons a wormhole and sends a Viking charging through it to medieval Japan. Yeah, I’d be surprised too.
