Passing the 2500 supporter mark on CUUSOO gave me a good excuse to build another themed maze for my Labyrinth project. This one is called 'Legends of the Sea' and is set on the ocean floor, featuring a sunken ship, giant pearl, Kraken, thermal vents, ancient ruins, lost treasure and an anchor. Unlike the other mazes, it doesn't have 'holes' for the ball to fall into, although it would be easy to add some to make it challenging. Had a lot of fun building this one! J

Cool, thanks! Haha, fully robotic dancing banana would be awesome, complete with looped audio of the song. Truly evil!!

I can't remember why I started building this. I mean, this meme is like 10 years old. But I had a lot of fun putting it together, and singing the peanut butter jelly song. Instructions can be found on my website: truedimensions.com Enjoy! J

Thanks Yatkuu! I just read the post about the process you went through on theBrickBlogger.com. Very inspiring! J

Congratulations to all the winners!! Well deserved! It was great to see so many amazing entries and I really enjoyed participating. Thanks so much for organizing this contest! J

Thanks again everyone! I'm glad to hear you all like it. And thanks again for the support!

Thanks! When I built the space one I was still mostly 'building a maze'. When I got around to the medieval one I was definitely giving more focus to the theme. Thanks for the support! And thank you all for the rest of the comments!

Just recently finished this working LEGO ball maze, also commonly known as a Labyrinth. It features a removable ball storage container, travel lock and interchangeable mazes. I built three mazes for it, including a space themed one and medieval themed one. I also put together a video showing how it works. And for those into CUUSOO, you can check out the project there. Enjoy! J

Sand green would be the best colour to match the real tower roof. Unfortunately the part I used doesn't exist in sand green. It exists in regular green, but that doesn't look very nice. I could have used a sand green 2x2 cone, which actually doesn't look too bad, but I preferred the look black square slope. Thanks so much to everyone else for the comments! Much appreciated! J

Here is my entry for the Architecture Contest, the Parliament Buildings of Canada, entered as a Landmark Series entry. The prominent tower is called the Peace Tower, and is a very recognizable and well known symbol in Canada. The Parliament Buildings actually encompass many buildings, so to be precise, this model represents the most famous of them - the front section of the Center Block. I chose this model as I live in Ottawa and this building is about 15 minutes from my house. More information about these buildings can be found here. Building Info Location ..... Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Style ........ Modern Gothic Revival Completed .... 1922 (Peace Tower completed in 1927) Designer ..... John Pearson and Jean Omer Marchand Height ....... 92.2 meters Model Info Pieces ............ 192 Size .............. 22 x 9 x 15 studs Instructions ...... truedimensions.com/lego The roof of the building is made of copper and as you can see in the real photo, the Peace Tower roof has not been restored yet and is still the pale green of oxidized copper. I decided to make the roof of the model entirely black, to represent what it will look like when the entire roof restoration is complete. I wanted to build this model at a very small scale but still keep as many details as possible. It was quite challenging and I went through several versions of the Peace Tower before coming up with this one. Flickr Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy the model! J

No, I took engineering at Waterloo. I only had one computer science class in that building, but I did walk past it every day!

W0w, excellent job! I was actually just thinking about building a modular micro Great Wall a couple of days ago - not for this contest, but just for personal interest. Thanks for doing all the design work for me. :) And good luck in the contest! J

Wow, your first microscale model! You need to build more. :) Some great parts usage here, and I also really like the hinge bases around the roof. Adding the surrounding details adds a nice touch to it as well. Good luck in the contest!

Extremely well done! This fits in perfectly with the official Architecture theme in my opinion.

Very nice! It was a bit surreal seeing your post, having just posted my own a few days ago. I like your solution for the main windows. At this scale there aren't a lot of options, but the cheese bricks definitely evoke the feel of the original for me. Well done and good luck in the contest!

I started building two models for the Architecture contest, as I wasn't really sure how either of them would turn out. In the end I was pretty pleased with both of them, but obviously I had to choose one. Even though the Taj Mahal is a much more recognizable landmark than the other one I built, I decided to embrace the spirit of entering something near where I live. So I will NOT be entering this model. I will hopefully post my actual entry it the next few days. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this. It has 335 pieces, and the base is 18x18 studs. I'm not 100% satisfied with the main dome, as it's a bit small and isn't really the right shape, but I decided to keep the clean simple look of the half dome instead of trying something more complex. PDF instructions, parts list, and LDD/LDraw files for it can be found at http://www.truedimensions.com/lego J

Wow, I really like this. So many great details. Excellent work!!
