Legofin2012 Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) One of the 4 Teridyan gates, not then main gate, but still an important one. Summer, Lord Finlay and Kyle return from the visit of an old friend: The Teridyan sausage bird sit in the tree near it's nest. Winter, a knight who lost last nights bets returns from cutting down wood: Under attack from a dark sorcerer and his army, who were soon defeated: There is a pic of the rear but didn't really like it so didn't post it here (it's on Flickr though).

Captain Settle Posted July 12, 2013 Nice gate, and I like the different variations. Does the drawbridge really close? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted July 12, 2013 One of your best yet! I like the dark bley accents and the archer slits look great Excellent rockwork and tree; that bird design is very clever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legofin2012 Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks, and yes it does close, the back of the tower opens at the back, and in there is the mechanism. @SK: you did say to make it my best! Yes the Teridyan sausage bird, so many cool bird designs, but never seen one using a sausage piece! So yeah, thank you!

Captain Settle Posted July 12, 2013 Oh, I just noticed the use of hobbit hair as a nest. Nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legofin2012 Posted July 12, 2013 Yeah, it's been done before I think, but glad you like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Esurient Posted July 12, 2013 I like how you built your tree using droid arms! Very nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ragnar_Deerslayer Posted July 13, 2013 Are those archer slits made using minifig legs? It looks very good. I also like the ice in the moat during the winter (as well as the snow on the top of the castle walls). Ragnar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legofin2012 Posted July 13, 2013 Thanks to both, I needed a way to make the branches of the tree so droid arms seemed like a good choice. Yes they are legs, but I think it might of been used before... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gideon Posted July 13, 2013 Wonderful little diorama! I agree with previous posts that the season variations really are the icing (no pun intended) on the cake here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxim I Posted August 8, 2013 I like this gate! The only thing I am not really fond of is the water, maybe use some trans blue/dark blue pieces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legofin2012 Posted August 9, 2013 Thanks, was going to but trans blue tiles, but run out before I could get to the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
