Echoing the works of M.C. Escher, as well as German Expressionism, Sly Owl‘s lopsided, sinking, crooked, all around messed-up castle is colorful and appealing in its craziness:
Also check out the other side of the diorama, featured a wonderful house that uses minifig flippers as roofing shingles:
Also a bonus, here’s a vignette of a poor soul getting sucked away by a twister:
Proving that bloggers do build now and then too, Marcin “Hippotam” Danielak enters the Colossal Castle Contest VI with “Double Trouble”:
Check out Marcin’s post on Klocki and see all the pictures on Flickr.
Even trolls enjoy trimming the tree and roasting, uh, marshmallows over a roaring fire, as Aaron Andrews demonstrates in this vignette:
The floor and rug are beautiful, and the shield above the fireplace is a nice touch.
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:
If you’ve built something of your own for the Colossal Castle Contest VI, don’t forget to submit your entry.

But c’mon people — where are your LEGO Left 4 Dead creations? Get buildin’!
Marcin (Hippotam) makes a vignette from the Polish comedy called Sami Swoi featuring two neighbors fighting by the fence where Pawlak cuts his own shirts and Kargul breaks his own pots. What I love about the scene are the incredible and realistic details such as the fence, the roof, and I’m always a sucker for brick walls made with tiles.
Flickr user Larry Lars presents the nativity scene with a twist, adding Star Wars characters to the mix. Hilarity ensued.

As autumn gives way to winter in New England, Mike Crowley gives us another Snowblowerman vignette. This time around, our hero wages battle not against flakes but against leaves instead, thereby earning himself a new nickname — Leafblowerman.
Naturally, there’s also a potential love interest:
In his latest vignette, Rocko summons a wormhole and sends a Viking charging through it to medieval Japan. Yeah, I’d be surprised too.
Dave Lartigue (Dave Ex Machina), writes:
While looking for the bathroom in Ben Kenobi’s home, Luke accidentally wanders into Ben’s trophy room.
Can you spot all the references in Dave’s vignette?
