Eurobricks and Classic-Town.net present a contest to build more creations in the theme of LEGO’s two winter village sets. Christmas is the deadline and I’m very interested to see what people will come up with.

Favorites from the Mini Castle Contest
The Classic-Castle.com Mini Castle Contest wrapped up a couple weeks ago, and winners were recently announced. MicroBricks has a great roundup of the winners and runners-up, but here are a few of my favorites that we didn’t blog already, along the way.
Valentin (Skalldyr) uses excellent forced perspective in this scene showing Roman conquest.
Avocado Butters uses Technic bushes and 1×2 grills to achieve the most amazing detail I’ve ever seen in a LEGO microscale castle.
Mr./Ms. Butters also entered this spooky temple, using the trophy from the Collectible Minifigure karate dude as a statue.
Castle Hadrian by busboy489
Another entry to Classic-Castle‘s Colossal Contest, busboy489’s Castle Hadrian is so full of rich detail that it’s difficult to begin to point them out. There’s the drawbridge, the lovely tree in the lower corner, the wall detailing, the interesting architecture and angles…I’d say just go ahead and stare at it for a while. You’ll be glad you did.
Max Reebo and Harry Potter CubeDudes entertain the masses
Speaking of FBTB, their CubeDude Vignettes Contest is now complete, and has yielded some nice results.
Larry Lars captures Jabba the Hutt’s musical entertainers in his vignette:
Andy Grubb deservedly takes home the first place prize, though, with this awesome forced-perspective view of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy pursuing the golden snitch in a game of Quidditch.
Check out all the great entries on FBTB.
These guys don’t monkey around...
An entry for Classic-Castle’s Colossal Contest VIII, Mr. Johnathon Gilbert‘s creation showcases the hard work and diligence of the Castle Health, Improvement, & Maintenance People (C.H.I.M.P.).
That’s a lot of destruction and havoc to fix up, but I’m quite sure the CHIMPs are up to it.

Village in Microscale
Rod Gillies‘ entry to Classic-Castle’s Mini Castle Contest is simply fantastic. The techniques he uses are wonderful–the Exoforce hair as a deciduous, Technic pins as crops. But what REALLY catches my eye is the mini tudors. They just…work.
Join the revolution and control the action
Keith Goldman presents the 4th installment of his You Control the Action Contest with revolution as the theme. As usual, build a diorama depicting action and you can win eternal glory (among other prizes). The deadline is January 1st, 2011, so you have plenty of time to plot your rebellion. Viva la revolución!
Atlantis in Micro
The entries for Classic-Castle‘s Mini Castle Contest VI are starting to crop up, including Rod Gillies‘s study of Atlantis before the whole sinking incident. The whole thing is just gorgeous and completely captures a water-front city in its heyday.
