I love that barn!
Nice entries SirNadroj, where is that cake from in the bakery by the way? Maybe a Bellville set? I've never seen it before.

These are some very well done entries. I love the atmosphere created by the tree and the fire: some really fantastical designs. I'm also a big fan of that scarecrow. Overall, some very nice creations. Keep up the excellent work!

Thanks guys!

It's probably Belville or Scala. Not sure.

I like the Snow White, scary trees. The others are nice too.

I love the cattails and the forest too.

Thank you for the feedback everyone ~ I really appreciate it! Let me fill you guys on some things I haven't said, and I haven't said much because I've been real busy lately. Let me start out by saying almost every entry is modular! This excldues the Snow White, the Plague, and the Trolls.

The Plauge: I started on the bakery first, but this one was my first finished one. If I had more fire, I would have put more low-lying flames, like Sir Dillion suggested, but I decided to stick with the long, 'cool' looking flames. The two infected people are salavging the shipwreck. The disease spread so quickly because ships carrying the diseases would infect the crew. The crew would die while out at sea, and their ship would eventually wash up on shore. Oblivious to the disease the ship and it's cargo carried, the citizens of crowded towns salvaged the cargo, as you can see. This spread the disease faster. The knight is burning the bodies. That's what I assumed they did. I'm not too sure myself.

Snow White's Escape: This was finished in about 1 night, literally. I did re-use the tree from my house, but gave it a long nose, which you kinda can't see. Like I said, I whipped this one up. I like how croooked the dead trees and plants are. It creates a neat little path. I did re-watch this scene from the Disney Movie, so I tried to make it as best as I could. I also put in the little cottage in the background, just to add another perspective to the whole thing. The guy standing in the back is the Hunter the queen set out to kill Snow White.

Black Falcon's Journey: I know, this is horrible. But like I said, almost all my entries are modular, and this one just fits the empty space. It's not gonna win, I'm sure, but I figured I'd enter it anyway so I'd have a shot at the Master Builder's Category. The well is really thrown together, too.

Farm (Barn): I like this one, personally. I would have liked to put in some more animals, or at least ONE animal ( ) but this is more of a crop farm, not an animal farm. I bought about 40 of those cattails, which can be seen throughout the village. I did not recycle ANYTHING! Everything can be put together at once. Again, you can see the 1 x 1 tudor slope technique. I would have used the technique that I think Sly Owl provided (correct me if I'm wrong), but I didn't have enough red minifigure stud peices things

Castle Celebration: I did put most of my time into the white part. You may have recognized this castle, as I based it on the german Neuswanstien (I don't think I spelled that correctly). The dk organe gatehouse is thrown together because I didn't have that many dk orange elements. I wasn't sure which category I'd put the castle in, so I put some banners up, and turned it inot the Slayed Dragon Festival (notice the Hungarian Horntail head!)

My favorite: The Bakery and Mill:
This was going to be my only entry, but I decided to do more. I have a wide variety of cakes, crossiants, muffins, and bread! I also really love how the waterwheel came out! The tudor technique is DARKSpawn's, I think.

So I hope that info clears some things up!

Wow, a large assortment. Rather than write a paragraph to comment on each one , let me just say that they all look good. My favorate is the farm entry. I really like the way you made the corn. Good luck in the contest!

Thanks Kelderic!

My personal favorite, as I said, is the bakery. I'm surprised on how the waterwheel came out. Pretty good, I'd say. Also, I think it was a good idea to use tan for the dirt roads instead of a generic green.When I make more Castle MOCs in the future, i'm certainly gonna use tan. Though brown may work...
