Another entry to Classic-Castle’s Colossal Contest, busboy489’s Castle Hadrian is so full of rich detail that it’s difficult to begin to point them out. There’s the drawbridge, the lovely tree in the lower corner, the wall detailing, the interesting architecture and angles…I’d say just go ahead and stare at it for a while. You’ll be glad you did.
Speaking of FBTB, their CubeDude Vignettes Contest is now complete, and has yielded some nice results.
Larry Lars captures Jabba the Hutt’s musical entertainers in his vignette:
Andy Grubb deservedly takes home the first place prize, though, with this awesome forced-perspective view of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy pursuing the golden snitch in a game of Quidditch.
Check out all the great entries on FBTB.
An entry for Classic-Castle’s Colossal Contest VIII, Mr. Johnathon Gilbert’s creation showcases the hard work and diligence of the Castle Health, Improvement, & Maintenance People (C.H.I.M.P.).
That’s a lot of destruction and havoc to fix up, but I’m quite sure the CHIMPs are up to it.
Fredoichi recently unveiled this sleek bust of the Caped Crusader. I really like the smooth, finished look of this build. Now it just needs a voice chip saying, “I’m Batman”.
Well, I’m way late on this one. I meant to post it here right away, but forgot. Absolutely no excuse for that. But better late than never.
Stitch is one of my all-time favorite Disney characters and Jordan’s sculpture is most excellent. From the stance of the character to the look on his face, from the use of the stickers on the ears (yes, they are official LEGO) to the use of black teeth for fingers, everything about this build meshes very well.

I think I should hate Cade Roster for building this, but I can’t. His rendition of the “Artist Formerly Known As…” is really good. Like a good train wreck, I can’t stop looking at it, so I’m inflicting it on our loyal readers. Misery loves company and all of that. By the way, he says that it isn’t actually finished but he’s not working on it anymore. Be thankful. I’d be compelled to blog it again if he did….
…but it’s a great idea nonetheless. Joel Baker decided that the rare white Boba Fett needed a white Slave 1. So, unlike most people on the internet, he decided to do something about it, rather just whine about how Lego doesn’t cater their individual whims. Way to go, Joel. You’re the man!
Now I want to see more monochromatic Star Wars ships.
Iain Heath celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first “Back To The Future” movie with builds of Marty McFly and Biff Griff Tannen…from the second movie. However, built with Iain’s usual flair for the awesome, these dudes invoke the true feel of the characters. Well played, Iain, well played indeed!
Let the movie quotes begin….

Flickr user legodrome’s bold spaceship with its asymmetry and standout colors has caught my attention. The ship is divided into differently colored sections that seem like a random assortment of parts from other spacecrafts, yet the resulting design is convincing.
