Two perfect factions to oppose each other! The crumbling aqueduct is well done and the clear bar elements are are really cool solution to a waterfall.

I like the forced perspective here; it really sells the scale of the castle itself.

Great job with the beast! Parts selection and shaping in the body are really fantastic.

Great MOC! I dig the different styles of half-timber structure and of course the jesters doing their jolly thing bring the necessary life to the build. Cobblestone work is perfection for me here and the lower camera angle sells the overall immersion. Cool stuff! I do have a suggestion related to "MOC post-processing"--get some selection of dark and earth-tone construction paper or cardstock to cut and fill in the areas behind the windows in the facades. Easier than dealing with the photo editing to eliminate the bright background showing through windows and you're 100% sure no light is going to leak through single stud width walls if you've got those in a build. And, it's fast to achieve.

Nice work with the timber section, using the window and door pieces is a great solution for the internal structure and I really like your integration of the dark brown log pieces.

I love this dark Nocty take on an Advent calendar! The builds are fun individually before combining into the three larger scenes, and each of those are excellent.

Love how this calendar came together at the end!

Very cool vig! Nice use of a variety of parts to achieve all the water effects, and the sense of motion the cart has is great.

I received my box of these over the weekend and can definitively say after assembling them that this CMF series (and the space one!) is really, really good! Very happy to have multiples of each in my collection, whereas the vast majority of CMF series only have 1 or 2 for me. Now yes, as primarily a castle and space MOCer, this totally makes sense. But the quality of these is just awesome. Favorites: Gith Warlock Tasha Dragonborn Paladin Weakest: Halfing Druid - the antlers co-molded in are annoying, but Lego clearly is trying to reduce its use of the plumage pins that they had in the '80s-'00s for stuff like the Black Knights / Dragon Knights dragon plumes. Bar connectors might have looked weird for a hood, but oh boy would Lego-OEM antlers with a bar connection be amazing! Elf Bard - I get it, but this fig just doesn't fit in with the rest of the series' color pallet. A more muted scarf & gloves (dark orange, regular blue, regular green pearl gold even) would have pulled it back in line with the rest and still been separate enough to give some flamboyance that a performer ought to have while being more useful for MOCs. Strahd is weird for me, his legs printing especially, but also the torso are styled in a way that screams "Marvel minifigure superhero suit!" to me. Going to be more difficult to blend these elements into a medieval MOC for me perhaps. It's also kind of annoying that his head is not white like the rest of Lego's vampires--though this is a direct consequence of adhering to the source material and that's usually a good thing.... Parts of note for me: Lute - Another color/print = awesome. Lady of Pain's headdress - I can't say I'm really a D&D afficionado, so without being deeply invested in the source material, I think this headgear could easily work in something like an Adventurer's build as a relic, statue part, or enemy as I don't see it first as "Lady of Pain". Szass Tam's head - we've got a tan skeleton head for these, nice! Aarakocra wings - Definitely going to be useful for MOCing. Dragon familiar - This thing is great! Hope it comes in other colors in the future. As was stated earlier in this thread, this can easily be used for architectural stuff if it comes in greys/tans/whites. Mace head - Great detailing part, hope we get more colors! Great job Lego! When are you releasing the CMF DD&DD Series 2? I love the extra heads and I hope they continue! At absolute minimum, for MOC builders, more elements for the same price* is probably going to be embraced with open arms. Much easier to populate an MOC with heads that aren't the same this way IMO. I also love that none of these torso designs have any "v-neck shirt" printing, so we can swap heads around between complexions, races, species, monsters, aliens, robots, etc. without having to deal with a weird color mismatch. *Well, at least the sting of CMFs going up in price since they started is less annoying with this set.

Nice little "scout"-sized vehicle for the Stingrays. Kind of an equivalent to this one: https://brickset.com/sets/6125-1/Sea-Sprint-9 Love it!

Great use of that Alpha Team cockpit! I'm totally going to use that little gas can design, it's perfect.

I just went through Part 1 as well as this Part 2--phenomenal MOC! Amazing how both well-researched this build is and how well-presented the "additional content is. Great, great work and thanks so much for sharing with us here!

Great work on that roof texture, I like it a lot! The grey is different, but it works IMO. Half-timbered technique is on point here too.

Great build SK. Wheels are solid and the cab is just perfect! Bring back trans-neon orange Lego!!!!

This is great! Renegade's Raft was one of my earliest Lego sets and your Space reimagining of it is fantastic.

These are well done!

Lovely build gentlemen!

Sweet build! I really like the cottage and those trees are awesome too.

I dig how you gave each of these a familiar. Abracus is my favorite overall, but the colors and combos throughout are excellent!

Another challenge! Woohoo!

Epic sea monsters in both of these builds! Fantastic work integrating all the elements together in the angler fish. Crazy cool work with that one!

Glorious keep! I love that you went all in on building some expansive water around the island. All that blue provides an awesome "frame" for the MOC and shows off some great lower layer gradient work underneath. The rockwork with the olive plants is just perfection as the path wraps up the island perimeter and of course the keep itself is so impressive perched on top of the build!

The chariot is awesome! Integrating the Roman shield the way you did is fantastic.

The dragon heads in the various roof locations are super-cool, but so is you getting a round tower to emerge seamlessly out of the "on grid" lower structure!

There are a lot of cool little details in this dio all over, but the doors jump out to me as especially well executed.
