Luke Watkins posted this fantastic church from the Medieval Life category from Classic-Castle’s CCCVII:
The details all around are just incredible. I love the stone look to the building itself. The shields around the base are simply fantastic and add a great sense of completion to the creation.
Kubik-Rubik recently posted this vignette of Isaac Newton for the CCCVII for Classic-Castle. It depicts Newton using a prism to break light down into the spectrum of seven colors.
Classic-Castle member and customizer babyjawa posted a fantastic creation for the Custom Castle Figure portion of CCCVII: Thor!
BJ has a great eye for his custom figures, and Thor is no exception.
If you’re still working on your last-minute entries into Classic-Castle‘s CCCVII, you should know you’ve got 3 hours until the deadline (11:59pm EST).
With that said, there have been some excellent entries this year–I don’t envy the judges, since they’ve got the hard job.
Flickr user 2 Much Caffeine has submitted another fantastic creation: Feast of Fools!
The action really caught my eye. It just has this great sense of sheer pandemonium, which I’d very much associate with a feast of this kind.
Good luck to all of the entrants this year!
Mark Stafford (Nabii) built two new creations from distinct time periods. The first hails from the future in a scene depicting a firefight in a busting metropolitan skyscape of the future, built for Keith’s You Control the Action Contest. The highlights of the scene are the action effects showing the laser blasts, smoke trails, and even small explosions.
On the flip side, Mark’s East African castle for Colossal Castle Contest 7 brings a new style to the castle genre with its mesmerizing textured and curved walls created using countless 1X2 plates and 1X1 round plates. The market scene is full of details and interacting minifigs.
Flickr user and Classic-Castle member 2 Much Caffeine has posted another entry for the CCCVII—Castle of Illusion.
The set includes a photo detailing how he achieved the optical illusion without using a photo editing program. I am impressed with the amount of thought that went in not only to building this, but photographing and presenting it!
busboy489 has produced another fantastic entry for Classic-Castle‘s annual contest. I particularly like the gentle curve of the walk-way between the two towers over the water. It’s quite elegant.
Dan Joosten’s contest on Classic-Castle has run its course and he’s declared winners in all categories:
Miniature Set: Bartosza6m with his version of 6081 – King’s Mountain Fortress:
Miniature Castle: Chris Edwards with his Castle on the Lake:
Check out the second place, third place, and runner-up entries here! Congratulations, everyone!
Keith Goldman presents his third You Control the Action Contest with a unique twist. The theme of the contest is “a celebration of minorities in sci-fi,” which prompts you to think beyond the ordinary yellow minifig and come up with new situations involving the misrepresented, misfits, mavericks, Mace Windu, and in simple terms – the minority. Click on the banner below to read the details of the contest to see if you’re up to this interesting challenge.
Now in its seventh year, the massive multi-category contest, run annually by Classic-Castle has gone live.
Categories include Technological Advances, Alternate Sets, Medieval Mariner, Outlaw Escape, Eastern Medieval Life, Religous Life, Knight’s Training, Custom Castle Figure, Brick Castles, Fantasy Castles and Misc. The prizes are quite impressive, including vintage Castle sets, new sets, older MISB set, custom accessories and more. So get out there and get medieval!
Sorry folks, we won’t be getting 6299 LEGO Pirates Advent Calendar here in North America. That decision was apparently made before the whole Castle Advent Calendar drama last year.
Fortunately, the Forbidden Cove October Seed Part Challenge gives you a way to win one — for free!
