Do you like tall towers?

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year and a half since we last saw a castle creation by Rocko, but things are different when you have your own business to run. Fortunately for us, Rocko’s had time to build a new castle recently. I love the contrast between the tan walls and the blue water. The greenery gives a breath of life to this otherwise fig-less display. Check out the other view of the castle for a beautiful curved staircase.

A heart-breaking tale

One of the Categories for the Colossal Castle Contest is Fairy Tales–and Scrat has chosen to illustrate the Danish tale The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. In the vein of many original fairy tales, this is a sad, sad story. Scrat’s rendition captures the melancholy atmosphere perfectly:

Farm House

LUGPol members always crank out something terrific. I had a difficult time figuring out what the main picture for this model should be. Every photo is expertly taken and each offers its own unique view with an insurmountable amount of detail hiding behind every corner. This farm house (mansion?) is just spectacular. The red gambrel roof and how the entire structure is sort of “sunken” into the ground points to the fact that this could have been a barn at one point (at least that’s how I see it), but the additions such as the porch and garage make for an incredible design.
And this is just the outside….so take a look at all the interior shots too!
A truly incredible model. A massive amount of pieces and time went into this, and a massive model was born. Awesome job here!
