The final stretch of the CCCX!

Wow! It's been awhile since I last posted. I'll try to post more regularly. ;)

Well, we now have less then one week to go in the Colossal Castle Contest .
And I've seen some huge masterpieces show up in the castle category.

The first one, Rochester Castle made by David Frank (Fraslund on Flickr)

has some great textural detail, and being based on a real castle makes it that much cooler! :)

The next one, Aesidisi Castle, built by Tastymuffins.

Is probably the biggest castle entered so far. and the awesome angles and design make this another strong contender for the prize! :)

Last but not least is, Round Castle made by UKver2.0 

It is rightly named "Round Castle" the Huge circular shape is as fantastic as it is unique. and the overall attention to detail is something you won't want to miss! :)

Check out all the great entries to the CCCX Here.

The Siege Of Châlus

This castle is just so awesome! I'm very partial to tan buildings and this one is no exception. I love how TheBrickAvenger places lever pieces about his scenes to make it look like arrows. Brilliant stuff. 

Check it out on Flickr.

A Day at the Mill

Flickr user Captain Flint has built a beautiful entry to the CCCX.

The bright, cheery, simplistic style of this MOC is refreshingly unique in a contest full of massive entries. 

See it on Flickr. 

Forestmen's River Fortress Redux

This lovely scene from 74loulete has the great feel of the original classic forester set it's based on. 

I also like how the back opens up, a very cool feature! :)

Check it out on Flickr. 

Cwelderæde Castle

The CCCX is certainly bringing out the best for some of the top builders on the internet.

This splendid castle created by James Pegrum Has some impeccable detail,

I particularly like his brick walls. :)

Check it out on Flickr or Mocpages.

Eben Manor

This is one of those builds were I just want to stare for hours on end.

Fraslund has incorporated some fantastically intricate detail combined with an impressive scale make this one of the most beautiful castle builds I've seen in a very long time. :)

Be sure to check it out on Flickr.  

Preparation.

Derfel Cadarn, (Luke Watkins) has created another awesome build!

The stonework is some of the best you'll see anywhere and everything else blends in so nicely.

Be sure to see it on Flickr. 

Seashore Castle

Another Awesome castle blasts onto the scene! 

This one, built by Shmails, has a lovely terraced style to it that not only looks fabulous, but it would also be immensely hard to assault.

See many more great views on Flickr! 

  

Modrijeka Castle

I wasn't the only one to get my castle out early this year for the CCC.  Eklund has built a beautiful castle with some superb angled walls, and I really like his crenelations.

And he even included our favorite Used Camel Salesman! :D

Be sure to check it out on Flickr!

 

The CCCX

Well, it's that time of year again. The Colossal Castle Contest is almost upon us.

For those who don't know, the CCC is a yearly contest hosted on Classic Castle.com  

 This event brought me into the world of the Online LEGO Community,

some of my first real MOCs can be seen among the other fabulous entries of last year's contest.

But this year has brought on many new builders to the CC forums, and many from last year (myself included) are eager to do better than before! 

There are glory and LEGO prizes to be won!

What will you build in the CCCX? :)

I look forward to some fantastic building from some of the Internet's best!

Check out some of last year's entries and get inspired!
