St. George testing the dragon for COVID-19 [CCC XVIII]

Post by Rifiröfi »

This is my entry for the Colossal Castle Contest XVIII - Medieval Monster Menace category.

Several weeks ago a good friend of mine, Peti sent me an image depicting St. George slaying the dragon with the caption "St. George testing the dragon for COVID-19".

Some days later CCC XVIII was announced and as I stumbled upon the Medieval Monster Menace category I immediately knew what I was going to submit.

Furthermore, I live near Nürnberg, Germany and at the foot of the castle there is a historic building called the Pilatushaus with a corner figure depicting St. George and the dragon (as shown below).

I like the scales underneath on the dragon the best. The knight is done very well too. Having the knight, dragon and building on different bases is interesting and works well (certainly would add to playability).

Really excited to see you entering the CCC again! And with such a creative and timely concept too.
The dragon and knight are cool, but my eye was drawn your clever detailing on the house.
Great incorporation of the corner statue, and is that a sports spring pad used sideways underneath the micro figure on the side wall?
Excellent fountain design too.

I think this is definitely one of the best in the category. Really love the wooden roof!
