LAST WEEK'S THEME: SPACE STATION

Gold

StarTux

Perfect Space build. The giant structure, coloured in a monotone grey looks great compared to the blue solar panels nearby. Neither colour is too much for the eye. The interior is also very well made, using 'gravity' with their build. Well done and you made me want to build one in my world now too!!!

Silver

Dshock336

Another great station which utilizes colour so well! The trick that this challenge had was that in space, only certain blocks could be used to make it look like it belonged in space. Both the first and second place builds used that colour so very very well making it seem realistic and beautiful as well. Gorgeous build and the only reason it didn't get first was that /u/SpaceTux's interior was very good as well as the exterior and the windows looking in on it added just that small bit of detail that won over.

Bronze

LordCommandeFang

Good exterior build that used some different sets of blocks which looked nice and stuck with the theme. The shape of the ships were also unique and looked pretty good. However the interior was quite bland and maybe some other details like tables, chairs, etc would have spiced it up a bit.

Introduction

Thanks to /u/ytae for this challenge!

Love is in the air!! This week we are going to be doing a valentine's day competition by building Queen's of hearts castle. Although this castle may be from Alice in Wonderland, we're not asking for you to recreate it. As long as it has the specific requirements and has a theme of love, it'll be fit for this challenge!
