Down came the wall!

What better way to kick off the new year than by highlighting this fantastic creation by Infernum, built for a Guilds of Historica  challenge. The wall texturing is great, but the real star of the show is the ballista bolt poking through the wall, which as a result is toppling to the ground. The falling effect is almost artistic, although I doubt the guy on top would agree. Lovely job!

"Not by the hairs of my chinny chin chin!"

Amidst fierce competition and a lot of truly splendid MOCs being built for the CCXII contest on Classic-Castle I'd like to highlight Dubbadgrim's entry. Not only did he  achieve a unique representation of the traditional fairy tale of The Three Little Pigs (my favourite) but did so with great style and design!

Pine forest

Marco den Besten has really taken his signature tree technique to the next level with this new MOC. The sheer size combined with the excellent build makes for one beautiful pine tree.

Down at the ol' inn

Halhi141 built this beauty scene of an inn and the surrounding landscape. The inn itself is very well construct, but what really draws me in is the landscape. All the colors and angles in just the right combination mech together and flow to create a natural looking landscape, helped by the irregular base.

More than meets the eye

Max_Stav built this awesome mech. It transforms into a cube, for goodness' sake, 'nuff said!

Brick-Built Nightmares

I really enjoy Ot_the_Cook's builds and stories. Both are excellently done, his character upon which they are center is an old cook with a mysterious past, seeking adventure in the Lands of Roawia. I love how all of his MOCs are in storyboard style. Case in point is this. I must say the brick-built thought bubble is excellent.

Exporation

 I really can't describe how much I love this creation.  No words are enough, so I'll just let you take it all in.  Brilliant job, Bart De Dobbelaer.
