Ecclesiastes Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) The Northern Gate This second gate is the direct connection to Valholl. Mainly merchants go trough these gates, but occasionally the Jarl does too. In front of the gate people can leave their horses when visiting the city. There is also a special kind of stable for delivering urgent messages.

Torgar Posted September 15, 2012 Great addition, I love the door! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de Gothia Posted September 15, 2012 You really are pumping those mocs out! And I love them all! This one is no exception! Don´t know if you are the first one with 1x3 arches and cheese slopses inside them but they are so good looking on this gatehouse! The large doors looks impressive and it´s great that you put some details in them aswell! The only thing bugging my is the little horse shack on the right. It doesn´t seem to fit in and compared to the rest of the moc it looks like it´s built in haste. But that´s just a small nitpick! I believe you thought it looked empty without it?

Kristel Posted September 15, 2012 Very impressive. Those doors are grand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted September 15, 2012 I love the stone detailing on this place. The windows look fantastic, but my favorite parts are the studs facing out creating some stone work and then the edges with the two round studs between 1x1 bricks. Keep up the great work. I knew I didn't have enough time to take part in the Guilds and after seeing all of these great creations, I never would be able to compete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ecclesiastes Posted September 16, 2012 Glad you guys like it! The only thing bugging my is the little horse shack on the right. It doesn´t seem to fit in and compared to the rest of the moc it looks like it´s built in haste. But that´s just a small nitpick! I believe you thought it looked empty without it? I think it's maybe a bit "massive" compared to the gate but I tried to make a Elmymas style horse shack! Maybe I'll replace the roof. Keep up the great work. I knew I didn't have enough time to take part in the Guilds and after seeing all of these great creations, I never would be able to compete. Well, sometimes a freebuild would be enough just to join the guilds. It's more about fun(and improving skills) than competing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted September 16, 2012 Superb gatehouse! The hoarding on this is just as impressive as that on the tower The dark bley 1x1 round accents in the corners is a nice touch too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted September 17, 2012 I really like this gate! And f you changed the color scheme just a tad bit, this could even look at home in Kaliphlin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kibosh Posted September 17, 2012 Very grand and stately looking. It looks like a gate merchants would use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabel Posted September 17, 2012 Wow, Eccles. This is really great and the gate's wooden wings are some of the most beautiful doors made in Lego I've seen so far. I also understand the critique on my gate a little better now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
