Jared Chan has built an incredible scene here. The Trojan Horse, the buildings and the action of the figs are all good, but together they add up to something greater than the sum of the parts. Very nicely done.

Micro Falls Fortress is LEGO-licious
This micro-scale fortress is gorgeous and full of some nice techniques. The chainlinks at the top of the towers are a great touch, as is the green hairpiece standing in as a tree on the little island. Hats off to Sean & Steph Mayo! They are definitely builders to be reckoned with.
Showdown in Felice
I have no idea how I missed this. This sort of build is right up my alley, if you will. According to Michal Herbolt, the keeper of the lost chronicle secret (Archibald) was kidnapped and tortured for information.
The build is just beautiful. The different colored plates really add to the cobbled stone look, and the wood/stone combination on the main house really just works. Underneath, too, there is a rather unpleasant (but well built!) surprise.

The Market District
Minifigures need a place to get their goods, and Alex‘s Market District is really filling that niche. This creation is just packed with stories and detail!
Check out this overall-shot; the produce, the animals, and the buildings just seem to flow naturally. I particularly like the building in the back corner, and the detail on the door!
There is just too much good stuff to list it all out here. I encourage you to check out some of the fantastic little details that are worked into this creation!

Petra’s Al Khazneh in LEGO
One of my dearest memories of the summer in 1994 that I spent working on an archaeological dig in Jordan was a weekend trip to Petra. We arrived from Amman late in the evening, but several of my fellow archaeology students couldn’t wait until morning to see the amazing structures carved from the sandstone 2000 years ago, so we snuck across wadi after wadi, avoiding the main paths. Once past the guard posts, we walked through the narrow gorge known as al-Siq — pitch black at night — until the passage opened in front of us to reveal Al Kazhneh, lit only by starlight.
ArzLan built his LEGO version of the Treasury for the Hong Kong Animation Festival, and features Indiana Jones in his Last Crusade visit to this UNESCO Heritage site.
Barad-dûr, the dark tower
Kevin Walter‘s 5′ 9″ tall creation of Sauron’s fortress from Lord of the Rings caught many people’s attention at Brickworld last weekend. The builder estimates about 50,000 pieces that went into the build, and those who attended the convention may remember Kevin assembling just about all those parts on site following the shipping fiasco. Luckily he had many beer and friends to keep him company.
Here you shall find your inner peace
Sam W. (-infomaniac-) presents the Temple of the Tan Tiger complete with an interior, a backstory and his thoughts. It’s also a surprise to see a sci-fi builder build castle. Even among castle builders, it is rare to find a Japanese castle of this size and quality.
Rashmor Castle
Lolino reaches for the sky with this medieval beauty. I love all the detail on the spires and that bridge is simply lovely.
Nightmare Carriage
Until today I was unfamiliar with the work of RGB900 but I’m very glad to have spotted his work on Brickshelf today. His Nightmare Carriage has excellent brick built horses and some wonderful use of parts. I’m very happy to have made my acquaintance with his photostream.
Stark raving sane, indeed.
You never can predict when inspiration will hit. Nelson Neto (NaNeto) was watching Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, and was struck by the roving theater. So he built it, and it’s wonderful.
This creation is just PACKED with details. I am particularly fond of the luggage on top and the functionality of the theater itself. There are tons of great photos, though, so check it out!
