Giant. . .Stone Giant!

 As it says in the title this is a stone giant from one J.R.R. Tolkien's most loved stories "The Hobbit".  In The Hobbit, a band of outcast Dwarves travels through the Misty Mountains(a range of mountains in the mythological land of Middle Earth) to get to their long since dragon stolen home Erebor, the Lonely Mountain.  In the Misty Mountains they come across a thunder battle between stone giants.

This is the Stone Giant I made out of LEGO®.  The design is from Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey".

 Here is my Stone Giant about to club somebody in the face.

Up close.

Up closer.

This Stone Giant Knows not what awaits him, for this is the very giant that gets his head knocked off by a boulder the size of the Governor of Texas's house.

Now, it's throwing a boulder itself.

Look out!  Splat.  I told you to look out.

BYE!!!

A LEGO® Medieval Castle

This is a simple medieval castle.

Castles usually had outer walls with a large gate into the courtyard.  Then another gate or door leading into the keep.  

Then inside the keep the first floor was usually the great hall where the Nobility dined with all his guests.  The Nobility also had a throne on the Dais(which is a raised platform).

If you went up the stairs there was the Armory.  This is because Castles had to have a strong defense against attack.

Next to the Armory was the barracks where the soldiers and men-at-arms(these people were just civilians trained with weapons) slept and ate.

If you go up another flight of stairs you will find the Nobilities private chambers where you also find some valuables.

 You will find yet another room through a door, this room will be the blacksmiths shop where tools and weapons are forged.

On top of the roof there are parapets where soldiers defend against attackers.  Note: There probably isn't going to be a full sized catapult on top of the castle.

And you can't have a Castle without a dungeon.

That is all the time I have for today.

Bye.
