Finally done... This MOC was originally built for BrickCon 2008 and has sat in a "Mostly finished state for over a year taking over my LEGo table. It's time it goes, so I finished it off quick and here it is. I'm not particularly proud of the castle, but I think most of the landscping came together quite nice. There are alot of details in the gallery/set. Hokay, so here's the story I worked up in my head: This small border outpost was attacked by some rabble during the winter, only causing some damage to the front wall and burning the barracks. Now spring has come and the baron in charge of the area is able to pay a visit. He is coming to check up on the progress of the new barraks, while the town patriarch wished to discuss paving the courtyard to quell the mud... The miller takes a break upon the arrival, while the Inn maid and stableboy finish their tasks. Not even the stable boy is aware of the secret passage under the stable. The diorama features a working waterwheel and millstone, secret passage, and more than enough rockwork to drive me crazy...

Visiting Fussen and Neuschwanstein Castle was going to be one of the highlights of my trip to Bavaria, Germany in October 2009. I hit Fussen on an absolutely gorgeous day - crystal clear and sunny. I was looking for some great shots of Neuschwanstein after about a week of rain. From the bus stop you have to hike up a steep hill for a little bit - and unfortunately I started uphill at the same time three busloads of Japanese tourists started the climb - so no chance for solitude at all. The thought of shooting in perfect conditions kept pushing me on - right up to the time that I got to the gate to the Marienbrucke trail and found it locked and barred. I was so depressed - thought about skirting the gate and cutting through the woods but there was a nasty looking guard there. How depressing! I didn't get the shots I wanted, didn't want to hang around with hundreds of yapping tourists, so I ended back to Fussen, walked around, and took the bus back to Mittenwald determined to come back to Fussen when the gate is open. Fussen is a charming little town too - I should have spent more time there.

Het Steen (the stone) is the oldest building in Antwerp, it was build between 1200-1225. It is called "Het Steen" because it was one of the first buildings in stone. The castle was renovated numerous times and had different functions. From 1549 it was used as a prison until 1823, from 1862 it was an archaeological museum. Until the end of 2008 the National Navigation Museum was here. On the last photo you can see the statue of a legendary giant called "Lange Wapper". It was made in 1963 and stands in front of the castle. The Lange Wapper can make himself so big that he can move to another city with one giant leap. He uses tricks to approach women to get their breast milk. He annoys drunken people, cheats while playing with children and laughs like the devil. View location in Antwerp, Belgium

Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron Dunsany- aka Lord Dunsany- was one of the greatest fantasy writers of all time. Yes, I'm making a stand and officially declaring this, and not just because of his name. He lived and wrote in his ancestral castle near Tara (for real), and was a globetrotter, sportsman, and chess and pistol-shooting champion of Ireland (again, for real). He was also a fierce lover of fantasy and wild imaginings, and has been considered by some to be the father of modern fantasy writing. This painting was inspired by his story "Miss Cubbidge and the Dragon of Romance", 'Romance' here referring to the lands of faerie, of course! High resolution images from original watercolor paintings are printed on bright white paper and are suitable for framing. This design is available in two sizes: Large: The image is printed on 8.5x11" paper, and it measures approximately 5 X 9". The print is packaged on a backer board with plastic.
