Brickshelf user 3730 presents a scene with classic castle structures and building techniques; however, the varied topography of this creation really sets it apart from the rest. The footpath that leads from the bottom corner to the top ties everything together nicely.

Spaniard’s Bay
This harbor scene by Ciamoslaw Ciamek (Piglet) has much charm in its distinct Spanish architecture, which the builder claims to represent buildings of a small trading post in the era of colonization.
Mortus Mortimer resurrects the Big One
With purple flames spewing from an undead dragon, this diorama by Dean Hofmeyer (Unique Name) features an ill-tempered necromancer named Mortus.

Shrooooom!
Yup, Steve Vargo built some shrooms. Pretty cool looking ones too.
There is another picture that captures a rare indigenous mushroom creature as well.
I think they must be pretty big, because he built this lumberjack too. He doesn’t say that they go together….but coincidence? I don’t think so.
A better mousetrap...
Legoloverman has achieved that which most of us can only dream about. He has built a better mousetrap. I think it’s pretty spiffy, myself.
The siege of Hrothingas castle
Daniel Z takes his castle evolution project and turns it into a full-scale action-blown battle scene for the Battles Contest on Classic Castle. With that I think there’s no need to fight now, the battle is over!
Bring on the Waterworks
Chase Lewis (Vid’) has posted his largest LEGO diorama to date, featuring a band of survivors holding out against a well-armed apoca-boat.

Clean up on sector 13
Keith Goldman presents a scene of waste disposal in a decaying sector of his Iron Reich realm. The color texturing creates an impressive rusting effect and I approve of the dump of parts – both mechanical and of the charred flesh. Dive into this degenerating world and don’t let its awesomeness dissolve your mind.
Kasteel in Nederland
We don’t normally blog works in progress, but this massive LEGO Castle diorama by Johan “Teddy” van den Heuvel (Johanvande) is too epic to pass up.
Teddy has described his LEGO Castle as “a typical Dutch castle,” but it’s anything but ordinary. From the angled walls to the beautiful cross-shaped windows, I can’t wait to see what Teddy has planned for the final version.
Storming Normandy in a miniature Landing Craft
The Landing Craft the Allies used to storm the beaches of Normandy were definitely not this adorable.
Nevertheless, this tiny diorama by Nick D.M. (DarthNick) includes plenty of action. The splash of cannon and the *piff* of machine gun fire on the sand are excellent touches.
Tower Rock by Darkspawn
Aaron Andrews (Darkspawn) has returned to building a massive castle creation after an almost yearlong respite. This tower sits on one of the most massive floating rocks I’ve seen, inhabited by a group of magical figures. One of my favorite details is the dragon transport; I could only dream of riding one of those.

Kelvin’s Hotel
I woke up this morning to this lovely hotel by Kris Kelvin. Its a beautiful scene and I really like those cars!
