The latest project from Alex Eylar (Profound Whatever on Flickr) takes its inspiration from the classic board game Clue.
Here’s “Mrs. White in the Kitchen”:
The second in Alex’s series of six scenes is “Colonel Mustard in the Hall”:
I can’t wait for Alex to post the other four scenes.
Mark Stafford‘s latest work depicts the collision of a military dropship into a space school bus in this unprecedented tragic accident on the moon. The effects of the collision are constructed realistically with trailing flames and explosion blasts. The whole scene is expertly frozen in space.
While we all eagerly wait for the release of 10193 Medieval Market Village next month, we can enjoy the fruits of Rocko‘s labors:
For the “Act of Chivalry” category in this year’s Colossal Castle Contest, one of Rocko’s signature “Leians” rescues a bunch of unfortunate lads, their savior astride a glorious pegasus:

Mark Borlase‘s most recent revision to his colossal 5’X10’ Hoth base diorama is a marvel to behold. The entire display consists of 55,000 to 60,000 pieces and has cool features such as 50 real lights and a remote controlled mechanism that deploys troops from the AT-ATs.
The entire creation took over 4 years in the making and consumed about $3000 (that’s a lot of white bricks!). This creation won the recent Star Wars building challenge and was featured in the official LEGO Magazine. Looks like hard work paid off, congratulations Mark!
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.
I think I’ve driven to work twice in the last year. My saving the world aside, this microscale scene by rhdlb is beautiful, with a pair of excellent buses and some great details built into the base. I also really like the street lights.
5p8c3 enters the Pillage the Village contest with this massive diorama titled “Le Quartier Brique”:
A carriage careening down a cobblestone street, smoke billowing from the window of a half-timber house — this LEGO creation has it all. Don’t miss all the action in 5p8c3’s LEGO Pirates photoset on Flickr.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.
