Christmas Village

I'm running out of doors to open on my Star Wars advent calendar, it smells like gingerbread in my kitchen and the corgis keep knocking ornaments off the tree, we must be close to Christmas day. Another hint is the loads of holiday themed LEGO creations on Flickr, like this absolutely fabulous winter village by builder nolphiplays. Not only is it a charming and inviting large scale diorama, it's got a working train and it's positively brimming with scale lighting from Brickstuff. Check out the video and click through for loads more pictures of this amazing MOC.

Medieval Village

I often can't decide which genre I like more: science fiction or castle. Recently, I've been leaning more towards sci-fi, since SHIPtember's coming pretty soon. But this wonderful build by Mark of Falworth is swaying me back in the other direction. I really like the style of all the buildings; the more rustic wood-and-plaster houses combine beautifully with the elegant stone church. It's too bad that we don't see stone buildings built from tan more often, since this one is splendid.

Welcoming The King

The minstrel music plays and the crowd cheers as the king enters the square. Fresh baked goods almost masks the smell of the horses as they clomp by. Banners flutter in the breeze as the smiling subjects eagerly greet their king. I could go on and on, but all you have to do is look at these pictures to get the same story. This is how you assemble a scene, it's rich with detail and story telling. Nice work Teabox.
