| Name of Model: VillageAttack - A goblin invasion. | | Created by: RebelRock | | Found at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=306697 | Details:
 This masterpiece was done as an entry to the Classic-Castle.com 2008 Battles Contest. Newer "goblin" minifigs are attacking villagers and Crown Knights - and there's an excellent detailed medieval village here too.
Some highlights:- Grey goblets are used in place of fences in the bridge.
- The smooth look of the water was achieved by putting blue bricks on their side.
- Complete landscaping - sculpted grass, slopes for rocks, and even a decent dirt trail leading up to all of the buildings.
- Just in front of the bridge, you can see someone who jumped headfirst into the water to escape a goblin
- White 2x2 round plates give a realistic smoke-from-a-chimney effect
- If you follow non-LEGO weaponry, you'll probably recognize some of the unusual weapons used in the battle (I'd call that cheating, but it's not too noticeable here...)
- A fire has started burning a building!

| Name of Model: space ninjas battle at the Bridge of the Everlasting Fire | | Created by: Sly420 | | Found at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=240882 | Details:
 I'm not really sure of all the details behind the theme of this one (the title says something about space ninjas?) - but this is clearly an awesome creation. The details are great, and I am very jealous of that supply of orange bricks for the lava below. Look closely at those rocks, too - those aren't the large single-piece hills that LEGO® makes, they are actually built with a large amount of individual bricks. | | This is Friday's model of the day. |
