Rod Gillies‘ entry to Classic-Castle’s Mini Castle Contest is simply fantastic. The techniques he uses are wonderful–the Exoforce hair as a deciduous, Technic pins as crops. But what REALLY catches my eye is the mini tudors. They just…work.

Can you put a price on peace?
Luke Watkins’s (– Derfel Cadarn –) latest castle diorama depicts hostile dragon knights storming the houses of the wealthy and demanding payment for peace. As usual, I love the detailed landscape in Luke’s dioramas. This shot below is simply epic, and here’s the overview picture.
Holden HR
These Holden HR variants took me so long to design (about 10 hours) that I’m using my bloggers privilege to share them. For the Aussies and lovers of 60s cars out there.
SnowLion Keep
While it’s not quite “stopping by woods on a snowy evening,” it’s still poetic. Classic-Castle member LegoLord posted this lovely castle in the snow. It’s not particularly big, and that’s okay. The walls grab me and I like the tan/brown combo on the tower.
Mardi Gras Madness!
A new realm of building. I’m really loving those porches and rock wall.
It was a Dark and Stormy Night
You all know that Nathan Proudlove rocks the Lego Fan world. At BrickCon he took the Castle section by storm with this incredible creation. There is so much to love in this one. Check out the variegated roof made of cheese slopes, the dark red water/blood that surrounds it, the skeletal trees, the carriage….the list goes on and on. It won “Best in Castle” at BrickCon and definitely deserved the win.
This time they will not fail
These dwarves aren’t going to take it lying down anymore. The vile, nefarious dragon is no match for their high-tech weaponry. This time things will be different. This time they will not fail.
This Castle Spoof scene was made by me.

I’m loving the white details here – note the use of Bionicle bits.
This creation bugs me
It’s a great space bug queen diorama, by Alex Fojtik (BrickFX). This is a truly immersive display, incorporating some great details. My favorite is the dripping slime, but I’ve also been known to love hexagons. The scattered space helmet eggs look great, and must have been quite a challenge to pose for different angled photos.
