This Siege Tower built by Knight Eklund is a very interesting entry for the CCC IX Siege Weapon. The archers tower are in fact my favorite detail about the whole construction.

Fort Legoredo
November 22, 2011Fort Legoredo was one of my favorite LEGO sets during my childhood and was a pleasant surprise when I discovered this wonderful tribute from Franko Komljenovic and Matija Grguric to this set from the year 1996.

Abbey of Saint Rumare
October 25, 2011I stumble with the Abbey of Saint Rumare today while browsing the news MOCs at history bricks flickr group. The MOC built by Aliencat! is pretty old (2009) but I taught it would be nice to revisit this magnificent masterpiece.

Medieval Lighthouse
August 24, 2011This is a cool medieval lighthouse built by pabloglez. The overall picture is great but what impressed me most was the relief arms in the wall. The water and sand is a nice work too.

Great Wall of China
August 22, 2011Some days ago I posted an awesome MOC of a miniscale Great Wall of China built by Matija. Today I found the minifig scale of the same historical landmark that was built by Si-MOCs.
His building techniques are rather simple but the overall design of the MOC is very well done. I also point out his short history lesson about the Great Wall that gives some enlightenment about the evolution of these walls and their purposes.
“The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortification built over a millennium. Despite popular belief, the wall was not originally constructed to protect against Mongol invaders, but instead built by the various Chinese states to protect their own borders against each other during the Warring State Period in 5th century BC. Most of the original walls was destroyed after Qin conquered all opposing sates and unified the country. The remaining wall was extended into a new northern wall which would protect against the empire against the nomadic Mongols from the north.
The first walls were simple walls made up of rammed earth and stones. By the Ming dynasty in the 16th century more advance techniques were used on the rebuild the walls, bricks, tiles and cut stones.
The MOC depicts the great wall in later age as a young Emperor watches his army march to battle.” – text by Si-MOCs

The Outer Wall
January 15, 2011Castle and Medieval MOCs are two of my favorite theme’s and today I found this outer wall MOC that captivated me by its technique of using tiles to bust the effect of stone bricks and the farmer working in the cotton field.

Castle Hadrian
November 14, 2010Stefan F (aka busboy489) built this beautiful castle for the Realist Castle category of CCCVIII at Classic Castle.
Among all the incredible details I liked the wooden bridge built with round bricks and the top of the biggest roof. Finally, the technique is not new but I really like the color bricks that break the monotony of the gray wall.
See more pictures here.
