Read MoreMany Shades Of Grey
/When asked to describe the medieval times, as you do in any normal conversation, it is often difficult to focus on a single aspect of this important historical time period. I mean making the choice between discussing knights in shining armor and the bubonic plague is terribly difficult! Nonetheless, next time i find myself immersed in medieval history I might just want to refer to this castle by Aaron Newman, which depicts a mighty fortress while retaining the perfect color scheme for the hardships of this not-so-fun time to live in.
Four Seasons
/With the blazing heat of summer here to accompany us every step we make, it becomes hard to remember a time without sunburns and a constant desire for air conditioning. Luckily for us, roΙΙi is here to remind us of all the other wonderful seasons of the year in this fantastic series of micro builds. And let me tell you, the summer micro build really floats my boat if you know what I’m saying.
Defend the Home Tree
/This delightful microscale castle makes me think of what the Ewoks would be like if they had progressed to a medieval period in development.

The towering tree filled with tree houses adds a uniqueness to the scene that really drew me in wanting to know so much more about the story in John Klapheke's head for the people in this tree. Are they elves? Lilliputians who moved to the trees and need the walls to defend from squirrels? One thing is sure the archers in the tree are going to have quite some range defending this castle.
