First entry for CCCXIII in the micro category.
The MOC was designed around that house design, which I came up with during the summer but never actually tested until last month. This build is much more complex than it looks, which is partially why it ended up taking almost 2 months to build...
The micro watermill is based on the use of a bar as a corner beam. After that, the rest comes together with some SNOTted tiles and fiddly techniques. The roof, connected with a few clips, was one of the hardest parts.
The windmill is a bit simpler, but it was still pretty hard to get a nice tapered shape with a variety of tiny round structure techniques.
Update: this MOC is now on Lego ideas! Go support it here!
Voila, and here it is! My masterpiece of the year! An entry in the Haunted Inn Category of the Classic Castle Contest.
Approximately a month of building time and several different versions (I scrapped an entire landscape).
You will doubtless see this build in some of the various RPGs I am a part of, and it will also be posted on my Facebook (Please go check me out there!).
The street was a last minute addition due to much helpful advice which I conveniently ignored for several weeks. C&C appreciated!

Hello, all! I have been working on this build for the past couple days, and I'm quite pleased with the way that it has turned out. It was greatly inspired by one of Ian Spacek's builds. Thanks to Simon Liu and Hacim Bricks for critiquing it. It wouldn't be the same build without their input.

Built for the medieval dungeon category of the Colossal Castle Contest. I hope a more fantasy feel is accepted.
Hey all,
Here's my first entry into this years CCC! When I saw the categories, I knew I had to build at least for the circus category, as I liked that one a lot.
I hope to be able to make 6 entries, as the master-builder prize is quite tempting, although I'm absolutely unsure if it's realistic...
As for the build itself, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out... The tents were quite challenging, as they are 6- and 10-sided shapes. I was able to close the gaps really well imho...
I hope you enjoy this build as well, and stay tuned for more entries!

The Civilian Conservation Corps built some rock cabins in the 1930's to shelter passing travelers in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada. The beautiful color is from the native sandstone in the area. Now the cabins are in a picnic area. This photo was taken in 1995 on slide film and scanned to create a digital file.

Me: QUINNE!!!
Quinne: What can I help you with?
Me: It's not bad enough you were staring in the neighbors house with binoculars yesterday, now you are taking pictures?
Quinne: Yup sure am.
Me: Get in the house!
Quinne: Hang on a minute. I'm getting some good stuff...they're kind of weird.
*We live in a duplex (very common in our area of Denver) and we have new neighbors*
My little fairy, whom I nicknamed 'Flock', has a new set of wings here. And she is also wearing a different wig then she did earlier. Though it's a bit old and fluffy. I want to buy her a new one soon. (I just adore that sweet face of hers) *^__^*
These three cabins were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935 to shelter campers and visitors to Valley of Fire. They are made of native sandstone and are no longer in use. Valley of Fire, Clark County, Nevada.
These are not some restored structures from centuries ago but built by the Civilian Conservation Corps from the matching local rock during the 1930's to house workers in the area. From 1933 to 1942 the CCC over the course of it's existence employed over two an half million of mostly young men to work in over in over 4500 different camps planting trees, building roads etc. So many of the roads and some structures in our federal and state parks were built by CCC workers.
