MOCer of the Week - Derfel Cadarn

This week's MOCer of the Week is Derfel Cadarn! When you think of impressive castle mocs, Derfel Candarn easily comes to mind - an AFOL builder known as one of the best intricate castle designers in the Lego community. If there's one thing you can bet on with Cadarn, it's that you'll be blown away with what he comes up with next! After spending half the day pouring through his flickr page I must have found at least 20 different mocs I wanted to show off here at Geek N' Bricks. These 2 mocs: Dedication and Mars Attacks may have been two of my favorite from the bunch, but your sure to find a lot more to satisfy your inner geeky pleasure!

Stop and spend a few minutes looking over his photostream and see if you can't find something to inspire you in your next build! Great job and keep on building Derfel Cadarn!
