Castle Goes to Space
30 IX 15
Get your entries in for the Castle Goes to Space contest! There are just a few hours left. Remember, the rules say "midnight anywhere in the world", so that means that you have well into the night or even the crack of dawn tomorrow in much of the world. So who cares about work tomorrow? Build all night. You've got plenty of time still.

Pen Argyl Green Knight
11 IX 15
The LEGO Green Knight of Pen Argyl High School in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania, has had an eventful history. It apparently started as a store display in a New York toy store, and was going to be discarded. In 2011, Bob Moyer, whose son was a senior on the football team, got the pieces of the display and rebuilt them to make a three-foot tall mascot for the school football, the Green Knights. Sadly, last month a couple of players from a rival team broke into the school and smashed the statue, which is why this was recently in the news. The story has a happy ending, though, as Moyer was able to reconstruct the statue in time for their first home game. From the series of articles it seems like there was also a horse for this guy to ride, but it is unclear whether it has been rebuilt after the vandalism. Discuss this MOC in our forum.

Templar Chapterhouse
9 IX 15
Here at Classic-Castle we usually don't pay a lot of attention to the space-focused SHIPtember event, but Becheman's cross-themed Templar Chapterhouse really grabbed my attention. He describes this as:
"Friday, October 13, 1307. Agents of King Philip move to arrest scores of French Templars. But - they were forewarned. The majority of Christian forces being at war in the Holy Land, the Templars used their vast wealth to take control of France and Western Europe, joining with the german Teutonic Knights to form a united, solid holy powerhouse. Centuries later, with new worlds to conquer, Templar warriors continue to fight to bring wealth to their masters."
You can see this along with all of Becheman's MOCs on Flickr, MOCpages, and Brickshelf, and then discuss it in our forum.

Rapier and Dagger
8 IX 15
The rapier is a long thin sword with a sharp tip and often with a very ornate hilt, made mainly for thrusting attacks rather than slashing or chopping. The rapier began as a development of the Spanish espada ropera, or dress sword, coming to England around 1570, and became the personal weapon of choice in the 1600's. AnActionFigure built this very detailed, life-size Rapier and Dagger. You can see this, along with all of his MOCs, on Flickr, and then discuss it in our forum.

Release the Prisoners
7 IX 15
James Pegrum, Peggyjdb in our forum, has a long running project to illustrate scenes from the History of Britain in LEGO. His Release the Prisoners depicts an event from the Third Crusade. A local Byzantine Greek governor took some of the English prisoner in Limassol Cyprus. Richard the Lionheart took the island by force, freeing the prisoners and establishing a key base on the approach to the Holy Land. You can see this along with all of James' MOCs on Flickr and then discuss it in our forum.
