Hello all,
I’ll be organizing the castle area for this year’s House of Bricks. I’m hoping
to create a fun and interesting experience for all. I’m planning to separate
our area into a few sections.
Classic Castle City Standard
The CCC standard is very
popular and many builders have creations that fit this standard. I’m planning a
CCC display, with castle walls & towers, many shops and houses. I would also
love for people to bring lots of carts, carriages, etc. Other details like
wells, fruit vendors and a stockade are always appreciated as they add that next
level of detail to a layout.
Vignettes
These great little creations have really taken off of late and I’d be remiss not
to make sure they have their space in the castle area.
Large Castles/Creations/Misc
I’ll do my best to work most creations into the CCC layout, but this may not be
possible. (Or you might prefer yours to be on their own.) So we will have room
for those to be displayed separately. Also, creations don’t have to fit the
“European” norm. Fantasy, Asian, Arabic, Nordic, Mayan, etc. all are welcome.
As you register for the
Chicago House of Bricks, there is room for you to detail what creations you
intend to bring, so that’s the easiest way to make sure I know what you are
bringing and plan for it. However, if you want to update me, if you’ve built
something new, or tore apart something old to reuse the pieces, you can just
drop me a note.
I’ll be keeping track of what castle themed creations people are bringing on
this page.
Flags
Borrowing from the great work Marc Nelson Jr. did for BrickFest 04, I’ll be keeping track of flag colors for
everyone’s creations. Preferably, we will stick to just a two color combination
for each person and not worry about which is on top.
I have a few other things in the works, but nothing I’m quite ready to announce.
If you have some cool ideas, please feel free to share, I’m always open to
suggestions.
Thats it for now, but I’m looking forward to meeting everyone that can make it
and all the great creations that will be coming.
