I was never allowed to take an animal to school, which is one of the things that makes Hogwarts so appealing. Of course you only ever hear about cats, rats, owls and toads, which makes me wonder if dogs are allowed. I think it would really upset my corgis to learn they couldn’t go, I’m pretty sure they’re Potter fans. Speaking of Potter fans, check out this excellent Hedwig by builder DOGOD Brick Design.

I will admit that when I first saw this badass character build by Arkov I thought it was a cool foam craft cosplay. Maybe that means I’ve been spending too much time with my other site Nerds&Makers, but I think it’s because this is a fantastically detailed and proportioned character nicely posed and shot.

Dateline Whoville Nov 2018 A local dog, who goes by the name of Max, is being celebrated for his loyalty and patience with local Grinch. “He’s a terrible guy, like a black banana y’know?” said a local girl when recalling the events of last Christmas. “But that Max, you really have to admire him”. Despite being dressed up in ridiculous horns and being made to drag a sled with his owner, who is clearly five times his size, Max the dog remained diligent and stoic. He is to be commended. Artist Miro Dudas agrees, and his built this fitting tribute to Max Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Check out this lovely micro scale castle by builder soccerkid6, his fifth entry in CCC XVI. Castles like these existed in real life, taking advantage of a mountainous terrain to gain a high ground against enemies. And they were build long before the invention of the elevator, meaning if you wanted to get to that tallest part, you were climbing hundreds of steps. People in medieval times must have had absolutely ripped calves. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Have I ever talked about being into archery on this blog? Not so much any more, I’ve since sold my bow, but I was into it several years ago. I still have my trap target and a small bow, should the notion strike. I don’t think my form was ever as nice as this stunning creation by Pate-keetongu though, she’s gorgeous. Just look at all the lovely details, I’m smitten. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
