The technic which you have used for the floor is wonderful! I would never cross my mind to use those pieces! Really original, price worthy.

Very, very nice Jens!

You have created a unique and wonderful bridge entry. I like the way you used the "jumper plates" to create the railing supports.

Great job! :D

Cool, I like how you bent the bottom baseplate.

Thanks all for your comments

I'm sorry, I don't bent a baseplate. The curve of the bridge is a result of the bent railing (Hose, rigid). The use of two railings on each side is a very stably construction. Both sides are conected by plates. This plates give the form to the roadway. With the jumperplates the railing "lays" on the roadway. The only point where the bridge has a connection with the rocks are four of this:

But the stably construction of railing and the plates between each part of the railing fits very good "around" the roadway.

This is my version of a little "haycart". The experience I made was not to wait too long to realise an idea. Maybe someone comes with the same idea a few days earlier.

I have some more entries: "Netherlandstyled bridge". I'm not very happy with the name, but please have a look:

I'm very proud of the little scene "Rotkäppchen". I don't know the correct translation. It's a fairy tale. By the way, here is an other one.

For Castle Fortification I build this one:

Do you want to change with this guy? On the pictures the roof looks a bit distorted, in real I like it more.

They sure are surprisingly similar ;) I really like the idea of using that yellow lever to represent hay. Well done (to both of you ;))

Wow, I love those new entries.
That double drawbridge looks fantastic and is easily a top contender in the bridge category. The landscaping looks great as well but the bridge is lovely.

The castle gatehouse is great too. Those wooden doors are huge!
You can probably move trebuchets through them, no problem.
I like the interior spaces as well as the roof tops. Great work!

I like the atmosphere of the fisherman's hut.
The net laying out to dry, the dead shark hanging, the rickety wooden dock, it all goes well with that moc.

Good luck on the contest!

Thank you, too.

The Blackwood Falcons Castle Gate I used as an background for "Ork attack". I cannot hide the inspiration by the LotR Movies. I first used a black original Lego string, but it was difficult to see it on the photo. So I decided to use the white one.

It looks a bit odd my replying after you have edited your post but here it goes ;)

Fantastic! I think the bridge is my favorite - a very original creation that will definately stand out. Great work

I think that's "Little Red Riding Hood" :)

Yes, me too! That is one heck of an interrior, great detailing - there is so much here but my fav points would have to be the stain-glass, the floor patterns & the hood over the fire in the kitchen. Exceptional work. This would have to be my new fav in this catagory. I would wish you luck but I don't think you are going to need it ;)
