He drew some of his inspiration from old D&D miniature models and also the Sleeping Beauty castle. He wanted to create a thriving village with an imposing castle in the background. You really have to go through the photos in their Flickr gallery in order to appreciate the attention to detail, the massive scale and the fact that in places it is has a furnished interior.ĭavid Frank, who goes by the name Fraslund in our forum and on Flickr, started planning for BrickCon back in March. Their newest project is the Castelo de Guimarães, built by over 120 children and now on display as part of the European Capital of Culture events in Guimarães, Portugal. Follow all of Iain's antics on his blog, the Living Brick.Ī couple of months ago we featured the Chapterhouse Window from the Convent of Christ built by Projecto Construir, a Portuguese group run by Romão Santos and a lot of volunteers who involve disadvantaged schoolkids in large LEGO projects. All of his MOCs can be found in his Flickr stream, and he also moderates a number of Flickr groups: The Living Brick, Bricks of Character, Mi-Fi, Lego Ghibli and Adventure Time with Finn and Jake.

He notes that the official One Ring element is way out of scale with minifigs, but it works perfectly with a 12-inch-tall Bilbo. The meeting of Bilbo and Gollum and the exchange of the ring is so central to Tolkien's work, so he made that his focus in Finders keepers!. He grew up reading Tolkien, so he wanted to build something to celebrate the new Hobbit movie. Iain's LEGO passion is expressive characters, usually at Miniland scale or larger, as he documents on his blog, the Living Brick. You probably know Iain Heath, aka Ochre Jelly, from his Stephen Hawking or his coordination of the Bricks of Character and Pythonscape displays at fests like BrickCon and Bricks by the Bay. His MOCs can be found on Flickr and MOCpages. Beware the swamps! He's hoping to bring this and other builds to BrickFair Alabama next month, so if you go there you'll have a chance to meet Mark and see this MOC in person. Mark has always loved big cats, so he built the Fen Panther. The Like a Boss contest sponsored by the Brothers Brick challenges builders to come up with a video game boss. He's a prolific builder and is quite active in the Lands of Classic Castle. Mark Erickson, an AFOL from Georgia, is better known as Mark of Falworth on our forum and on places like Eurobricks, BrickForge and BrickWarriors forums.

We at Classic-Castle like to wish you all the merriest of holidays! Here's hoping your stockings are filled with lots of LEGO. Be sure to check out his other MOCs as well on Flickr and Brickshelf. In addition to CC, Gearcs is a member of Kostky and Eurobricks. Unfortunately for the princess, there is no knight in shining armor to be found.
