Anyhow, this is my latest MOC; Hingston Castle. It sits on 24 32x32 baseplates and 4 48x48 baseplates for a ...

Bravo! This is certainly one of your best efforts. The four large towers are certainly imposing and the inclusion of non-right angles on the build is always refreshing. It really helps make the composition more appealing. Again, your landscaping is captivating with a huge amount of foliage. The smal...

I'm really late to this party, but I would love to see a taj mahal/tower bridge style castle or cathedral. This would be an incredible parts pack for castle fans, but it would also make for a fantastic model. A genuinely large minifig-scale castle would approach $1000, but a micro scale castle could...

I've always treated castle building like making a doll house. Although I'm by no means a child, I always try to include an element of playability in all of my builds. Full interiors aren't a difficult feature to include, but they really add to a MOC. My earlierst AFOL castles were hinged, but now I'...

I love your ability to make modest-sized MOCs look absolutely imposing. This is another fine example of a build that looks far larger than a 32x32 MOC ever should. It's absolutely beautiful. I really like the way you've framed the windows. The use of tan and other earth tones here works perfectly an...

Great work.

More than anything, I like the top of the tower. It really looks as if it this is a stop-motion frame in an animated movie with the walls are collapsing in on themselves.

The black and white foals were never released in a set and could be prototypes or molds from one of the LEGOland parks. There is also the possibility that these are simply knockoffs produced by a clone brand. Look for markings which indicate that the pony is made by LEGO. Yeah I made sure of that.....

The brown pony (or foal) is quite rare. It only came in two paridisa sets; Country Club and Carriage Ride . These things go for about $10 - $25 on Bricklink. The black and white foals were never released in a set and could be prototypes or molds from one of the LEGOland parks. There is also the poss...

I'm glad to see that the ball is rolling on this one. I have a fairly simple submission that I'll put forward. I'm in something of an awkward position as I had a design in mind before I proposed the idea of a CC mascot, however I liked some of the suggestions made by Forestboy in the original mascot...

Interesting contest.

Although I'm not eligible to enter as I'm not from the three aforementioned countries, I do have a quick question. Are these designs supposed to be illustrated, or are they brick-built designs which will in turn be illustrated by LEGO's graphic design team? Just curious.

This is fairly common in public displays where folks need a large number of structures to create a believable environment. Train and town layouts will often have CC buildings as well as a number of structures that were inspired by those sets. Castle layouts may have Dan Siskind's Blacksmith Shop or ...

As you mentioned over on Flickr, you really should work on your photography. I can forgive a poor photograph, but leaving a mess behind your MOC is just lazy IMO. The actual build isn't half bad but the presentation is lacking. I think that properly documenting your development as a builder is very ...

Nicely done. In the thumbnails it actually looks quite busy and a bit unsightly but when you zoom in and look at the build in all of its glory it really is quite impressive. I really like the swashbuckler who is hanging onto the crate that is being raised by crane. I would suggest placing a boat bel...

This is all kinds of awesome! While it's pretty big for a vignette, it's easy to see why it won. This is easily one of the most impressive LTOR builds I've seen in my time as an AFOL. I love the colour transitions in the rock face and the waterfall is incredible. Landscaping isn't easy to do so it's...

This is great.

I always appreciate it when a builder is kind enough to share one of the tricks behind his or her work. Your amphitheatre is a work of art, so seeing the technique you used to make it come together is a nice bonus.
