LEGO NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE
NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE
Designer: T-Brick
Lego has a long history of producing architecturally inspired models at large scale for the collector audience. This design recreates the famous Bavarian castle with 4,303 bricks, which would make it the third largest Lego set in history. For those who can't wait for this design to get 10,000 votes, reverse-engineering the model from the CAD images the designer submitted shouldn't prove too difficult, especially coupled with photos that other builders have posted about their own Lego Neuschwanstein Castles.
Proposing architecturally inspired designs is always risky. One designer who created a Le Corbusier-inspired model had his project canceled when Lego announced the building was part of their official architecture series.

LEGO Medieval Street Market
MEDIEVAL MARKET STREET
Designer: Alan P
Sometimes the strength of a design is in its high concept, other times in its flawless execution. This Medieval Street Market looks like it could pop right out of a Lego catalog. Its brilliance isn't in the idea, but the masterful way that small details are represented. Rough cobblestone streets are hinted at with judiciously placed pegs. Uneven plaster is represented by interspersing round bricks in an otherwise rectilinear surface. Dozens of tiny details add up to one very impressive tableau.

Crusader-era grenade
The hand grenade is a handsome example of a weapon in common use by Islamic forces during the Crusader (1099-1187), Ayyubid (1187-1250) and Mamluk (1260-1516) periods. It is made of unglazed ceramic and embossed with grooves and tear drop-shaped designs. It has a domed top over a spherical body that tapers to a point. They were filled with incendiary material – petroleum, naphtha, Greek fire — and thrown or catapulted into the enemy camp where they exploded fire that water could not put out on their targets. There’s a small hole in the top into which flammable liquid could be poured and a wick added once the grenade was loaded.
Some scholars believe these vessels were not weapons, but rather perfume bottles. They’re certainly pretty enough for it and it seems counterintuitive that someone would bother to decorate an explosive projectile whose sole function is to destroy itself and take people down with it. On the other hand, their shape makes them markedly unsuited for placement on a dresser, requiring a rack or holder to keep them vertical, and the decorations also have the practical function of making the devices easier to grip in the hand or set snugly in the sling of a catapult. A smooth clay grenade would be dangerously easy to drop.
There is historical and archaeological evidence of this type of vessel being used in war. For one thing, clusters of them have been found in fortresses, castles and moats. The 12th century historian Mardi ibn Ali al-Tarsusi mentioned in the military manual he wrote for Saladin in 1187 that terracotta vessels with incendiary contents were launched from catapults or thrown from ramparts. Other sources from the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries describe the clay gourds in more detail, explaining how they were used in battle and the various launching methods. Chemical analysis of residue inside several similar pieces discovered traces of rock salt, pine resin and other flammable materials. One gourd on display in the National Museum of Damascus has an inscription that leaves no question as to its bellicose purpose: “This kind of projectile is useful for targeting the enemy.”
The IAA is grateful that the family has voluntarily come forward and handed the artifacts over to the state. Officials plan to give the Mazliah family with a certificate of appreciation and, which is way cooler, have invited the family to visit the IAA laboratories where the artifacts will be studied and conserved.

Swords from Tolkien
1.) Ringil: Sword of Fingolfin...face it Fingolfin and Ringil really handed it to Morgoth. He never came out again. That makes Ringil #1.
2.) Aranruth "King's Ire": Sword of my boy, Elu Thingol. Thingol is willing to part with any sword in his store but his own. A testimony to it's dopeness.
3.) Anglachel(Gurthang): The cursed sword of Beleg and Turin, crafted by the dark elf; Eol. A dread and dangerous sword. " There is malice in this sword. The dark heart of the smith still dwells in it. It will not love the hand it serves, neither will it abide with you long." Melian
4.) Anguirel: Eol's own sword. You know Eol made himself a nasty sword. So nasty, Maeglin made sure to steal it.
5.) Glamdring: Sword of Turgon, Sword of Gandalf. The Foe Hammer...'nuff said.
6.) Orcrist: Sword of Thorin. The Goblin Cleaver. A sword of Gondolin, and dreaded among orcs and goblins.
7.) Grond: Mace of Morgoth. The Hammer of the Underworld. I know it's not a sword, but I couldn't draw Ringil without drawing the weapon it matched against. It's not at the bottom of the list, but stands as a representative of the super heavy weight class of magical weapons.
