Mini Castle Contest VII
Mini Castle Contest VII
As our great microscale contest master Robin Hood has plunged even deeper into the dim age of education, he has graciously passed the hat to me to run the seventh Mini Castle Contest - so, without further ado..
The Mini Castle Contest VII
For inspiration, check out the previous contests (MCC I, MCC II, MCC III, MCC IV, MCC V, MCC VI) or Bruce's blog MicroBricks.

- Your creation has to be castle-themed (including medieval, fantasy, ninja, vikings, ancient times..)

Re: Mini Castle Contest VII
I've never done anything in microscale, but I'll probably try to put something together for this
I feel I must point out the irony of the prize, considering that rule #1 is that the creations have to be too small for minifigs to inhabit them!
Thanks for hosting the contest, and good luck to everyone!

Re: Mini Castle Contest VII
Being in kind of a building slump, this contest is the perfect thing to get me building more rapidly again.

Re: Mini Castle Contest VII
Definitely entering, and I will definitely get 2nd or less, if the same people from last year enter.
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live

Re: Mini Castle Contest VII
Hmm. Hopefully I may be able to enter. This seems to be the time for contests and due to my previous occupation in others, I may not be able to post anything.
2MC is gonna win again anyway.

Re: Mini Castle Contest VII
Hmmm. Slightly concerned about the burden of expectation there Blego7!
I love this competition, I think it's my favourite annual event in the whole of Legodom. However, I'm currently stuck in the throes of building stuff for the Lego Show at STEAM and will also be on holiday away from my bricks for two weeks during October. I don't want to enter anything that wouldn't do this fine event justice. We'll see...

Increasingly irritated by the way real-world work impinges on building time...

We' have never had a contest that was limited to just one region.

Re: Mini Castle Contest VII
First Entry!!
Well here is my first try at building in miniature scale.
Castle with a river running in front of it and some houses, one of which is dug into the side of a hill.
