Nelson Yrizarry has gone all piratey with his latest creation, The Sand Bar. Crammed full of all kinds of detailed goodies, this bar caters to the scum of the high seas, both soldiers and buccaneers. Because opposing sides always need a place to have a friendly drink before blasting each other out of the water…
Frog Races, that is. This diorama by Matt Armstrong cracked me up! Someone needs to investigate that frog…
Comforting to some, deeply challenging to others, the Book of Job has long stirred discussion among believers in the Judeo-Christian religious tradition.
The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith gives Job The Brick Testament treatment with eight pictorial stories, including God speaking to Job from within a whirlwind:
Daniel Z charges into the Colossal Castle Contest VI with “The Siege of Elenaï.”
The trebuchet and wooden hoardings are certainly excellent, but my favorite detail is the group of sappers who think they’ve dug deep enough to mine under the moat. They’re in for a surprise!
Jordan Schwartz gets everyone in the mood for pirates with his latest and largest creation depicting a peaceful harbor invaded by plundering pirates. There’s plenty of action floating around this scene, but most impressive is the pirate ship, which is a spectacle in itself.
Check out Jordan’s creation featured on LAMLtv with a clip of the builder explaining his work in person.
Tom Snellan is the first to enter the 6th annual Collossal Castle Contest with a creation that sets the bar high. Titled “The Perfect Life?”, this seemingly peaceful diorama depicts happiness with a twist, where hooded Death approaches ominously to claim an innocent’s life. What an eerie juxtaposition!

I present my latest surrealist sculpture, called the Legacy of Vision. It is an exploration of the theme of insanity and a sequel to my earlier work, the Cry of Dreams. Both sculptures are made in similar style, depicting equally macabre subjects. Likewise, I have a bit of writing accompanying this work, which will offer more insight to this creation for those interested. I’m planning on eventually making a third scultpure to complete the three-piece collection called the Metamorphosis of the Mind.
SlyOwl‘s entry for the Forbidden Cove Castaway Contest uses so many interesting techniques it’s hard to pick just a few to highlight:
The skeleton parts evoke a truly ragged sail. The narwhale in the water takes a moment to recognize, but once identified, SlyOwl’s brilliance is unquestionable. The reindeer head on a stick is, well, interesting.
Oh, and the goats are adorable.
