Re: The Tower

Like others have already noted, "WOW!" Awesome fantasy build here. Any idea how many pieces went into this?

Re: Forest Ambush Scene

The tree design is nice, but do you put something through the middle of the pieces to stabilize them? Otherwise I would think those 1x1 rounds used to construct the trees would not hold up to playing.

Re: Best Knight?

I nominate the "crownie" golden knight from the fantasy era. That gold armor is unbeatable, plus he has a gray beard, so must have won a great many encounters with those nasty skellies and other enemies to survive to that age! (Image by Agent Fuse posted in Brickipedia) A good healthy deb...

Re: LCC - Lenfald - The Trial

Very nice. I especially like the stone-and-arch doorway combination.

Best Knight?

Sir Braggalot challenged us to consider who the worst king is, so now I would like to challenge the CC community to consider who the best knight is. I nominate the "crownie" golden knight from the fantasy era. That gold armor is unbeatable, plus he has a gray beard, so must have won a grea...

Re: The Worst King

Lord of Orks wrote: I must protest, where is the evidence that the ork king is only the king because he's the strongest(he only has one eye after all). and who's to say to say that his men has to work long hours or that he'll kill you if you don't follow his orders. besides, he must be quite good to...

Re: The Worst King

What about those Kings who are absolutely ABSENT from their kingdoms, making it appear as their factions have no leader? Like the Black Falcons and Crusaders... With my "collector" hat on I agree (what could be worse in terms of collecting than to have nothing to collect?); however, with ...

Re: Rewards and Regrets, LC8 Entry

Love that fireplace. Excellent use of the tan bricks. It reminds me very much of the fireplace in the last house I lived in.

Re: GOH: Inside Kaliphlin-The Withered Woods

Nice work! Cool angle to use to the postcard presentation and love the whimsical tower. It does seem very elf-like.

Re: Huge Keep

Like everyone else I am really impressed by the scale of the project. I used to think Dr. Carney built the most awesome large scale castles (in his case, lego recreations of actual castles), but this project takes things to a whole new level, especially in terms of interiors and use of minifgures (C...

Re: Orthanc

This is an awesome set in many respects. It is a HUGE tower. It has interesting interior designs with numerous specialty pieces. It has several unique minifigures. I love the balcony for Saruman. Overall, they did very well to keep the black exterior interesting and not just a plain black shine of b...

please more yellow eared elf hairpieces

Dear LEGO, please make more elf hairpieces with the standard yellow ears for us elf-loving but fleshie-hating customers. With all the Tolkien-related hairpieces from LOTR and HOBBIT, the fleshie-adopters are getting lots of great color and style options, with even more coming out in future waves, bu...

Re: Gold Samurai

The gold samurai is amazing, a true customized work of art, just as your earlier samurai were. I think my favorite of the four is the green samurai. I saw someone mention MCN, which reminded me of your equally amazing Dragonball Z customs. Anyway, it's great to see you back in the game.

Re: Custom Garhim Faction (WIP)

NIce work. Can we see pictures of the printed shield with minifigs? That would make the difference for me in thinking which shield is best. Sans minifigs, I think your newest design with the white shading looks best because I think the gray shading may not show up very well.
