With a small assortment of parts Fedde (Karf Oohlu) has created a microscale castle that is both adorable and also quite detailed for it’s size. You gotta love efficient parts usage like this!

The 10th Annual Colossal Castle Contest has begun!
The Colossal Castle Contest is one of the longest running Lego fan contests in history, if not the longest, and it is celebrating its tenth year! There are a plethora of prizes, including vintage sets, books from No Starch Press and Skyhorse Publishing, as well as custom products from altBricks, BrickArms and BrickWarriors.
The categories cover a wide range of subjects, sizes and building styles. If you have never entered before, get over to Classic Castle, get registered and get BUILDING!
I can see clearly now
This transparent castle by Ivan Angeli is quite eye-catching. I’ve seen all-transparent castles before but the shapes and contours of this one are unique and the lighting is very well-done.
Congratulations! Today Is Your Day!
This charming castle by True Dimensions and his significant other is straight from the pages of Dr. Seuss’s fantastic book, Oh The Places You’ll Go! The elegant and smoothly curving build style fits with Seuss’s illustrations wonderfully, and the bright color palette really makes the model look like it’s from Seuss’s pages.
Oasis at Sunset
This nifty little scene by Mark E. uses some interesting techniques. They really make for a striking effect.
Check out the Behind-the-Scenes shot to see how it was done. The inverted scene is a particularly nice touch.
Support Mike Doyle’s Odan Project on Kickstarter
Mike Doyle, known for his decayed Victorian houses, launched a Kickstarter project to fund his next creation. For your support, Mike is offering framable prints of the finished creation along with actual brick-built details from the model.
A city in the snow
Marco den Besten (‘Ecclesiastes) displayed his Ondylion City diorama at Lego Fan Weekend in Skaerbaek. It would take a lot of writing to point out the details; fortunately there’s a video tour of the creation.
New BrickWarriors items and colors
This is long overdue, but Ryan from BrickWarriors sent me some of their new pieces for review awhile back. Unfortunately I dropped the ball. But now, along with the cool new items, he has just released new colors that look rather snazzy. As I’ve said in previous reviews of the BrickWarriors products, the quality is very good and the line of items consists of some really unique items. Go check them out!
Waterdeep
This whimsical castle is built by Ivan Angeli. As he says it is the last in the line of Drow Elves castles from the world of AD&D. It took him 10.000 bricks only to build the huge waterfall, and the castle itself is over a meter high, which is easily seen in this comparison image. Jump to Eurobricks to see all the images and story behind this creation.
Earth elementals assault Peregrinus
Most LEGO builders are satisfied with presenting their models against either a neutral or edited background. Not Gabriel Thomson (qi_tah). In “Attack on the Causeway,” Gabriel builds in some serious weather.
There’s lots to love in this diorama beyond the clouds & rain. See all of Gabriel’s photos in his photoset on Flickr.
Outpost in the Desert
We feature some amazing creations on here, and I love when the builder adds a level of play-ability to the creation, much like Peter de Yeule has done with his desert outpost.
The build itself is quite excellent. What I loved though is that it opens!
You can see all of the nifty stuff inside. Well done!
The Castle Amongst the Clouds
Carson Hart has churned out a brilliant microscale scene, packed full of nifty parts usages and cool shapes. He says he was inspired by Iridescent Nohow, and I can definitely see the influence in this whimsical diorama.
