Tony, of course I'm entering next year. How can I win if I don't enter!

Thanks for doing this again Anthony.

I would like to know why my entry sucked.

Thanks!

Whilst I enjoyed building stuff for the contest, it was my first time building anything "Castle". Any suggestions for improvement are much appreciated...

Well Sava, hope I am at the right thread here, as my question is not what I did wrong, but what did I do right. It concerns my custom fig (my first one ever): The Leon Crusader
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=359778

I was wondering how come this figure made it to an honorable mention. I really would like to get into custom figs, but I have no idea how to do plastic parts for a fig. I mean, Armothes bishop blew my head off. It was fatastic. Do you have some really good links where I can learn more about custom (plastic) parts and clothes? Not decalls, for that Classic Castle .com has good articles already.
Thanks
Giorgio

What did you not like about my siege?

You know, Tony, it's really nice of you to offer advice on our entries like this. Now that I've got you nice and buttered up, I would greatly appreciated hearing any thoughts you might have on this entry:

Thanks!

This is a really well done MOC. There are a lot of great details you've crammed in there. However, it looks rather lifeless and dull. Most of the figs are simply standing there, it doesn't look like much is going on. It also isn't obvious from looking at it why the Orcs are sneaking up towards the castle - remember, we only have a maximum of three pictures with which to work with. Having the captured Orc visibly shown through the jail bars would have done a lot to show that.

Thank you for the constructive criticism. That should help me some in my future buildings.

So I entred the "crime and punishment" with a three-part moc, if your limits to comments for only one entry means only one pic I would mostley like critisism on this one:

(and if it didn't I would of course like critisism on the whole entry)

I would like to ask about the biggest and (in my opinion best) lego creation, Rothgar Castle.

To be honest its a WIP and I intend to post updated pics later in the year. The main updates I'll be making will be landscaping and, in the distant future building a town around it. Wishing to see what your take on it is,

Jameson.
