LAST WEEK'S THEME: UNDER SIEGE

Gold

StarTux

The scenery around the castle and the castle itself were very gorgeous. A great build overall. We were also judging on the battle and all of the armour stand figures, siege engines and projectiles were very well done.

Silver

Fornan2

Another great build. In my opinion, the castle was even better in this one than First place. However the whole battle part of this build felt a bit downsized. Some of the catapults seemed very tiny compared to the massive castle and it seemed that the whole battle part would have worked better had it been scaled up a bit or the castle scaled down. It's still a fantastic build however!

Bronze

RiodePlata

I found the whole emcampment for the invaders was a nice touch and was built very well. THe siege itself was also pretty cool. I also like the interior of the castle and the tunnels underneath. This build lacked a bit on the exterior of the castle. It seemed a bit too flat which made it seem plain. Now, if there would be a bit more to distract the eyes and stand out (stairs, slabs, etc) it would have probably looked a bit better! Great build though!
