Scouty Posted January 28, 2007 Well, my views. This is very, very pretty. It's a quite nice moc. And the bottom is nice. And the detail is really nice :capn: . Now, now. The BS folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pianodude2494 Posted January 28, 2007 Very, very nice! I was quite impressed with the decoration of the main building, it looks great! There really isn't anything for me to pick on, everything is great! Nice find! My rating: 9/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted January 28, 2007 Very nice indeed. It seems like a smaller version of this MOC: http://carneycastle.com/Belem/index.htm (scroll down the page to see the Lego version). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Bucanero Posted January 28, 2007 It's a white and smaller Torre de Belem! I prefer the other version... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted January 28, 2007 There is also a nice islander MOC in the BS-folder: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted January 28, 2007 But not as nice as the fort! We'll have to get a sized down image of that fort to put in the first post of this thread. Its too nice not to be posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted January 28, 2007 We'll have to get a sized down image of that fort to put in the first post of this thread. Its too nice not to be posted! I've resized one just for you Mr. Phes. Can someone with the right powers add it to the first post? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Bucanero Posted January 28, 2007 Can someone with the right powers add it to the first post? Done! *y* Good work on resizing them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted January 28, 2007 Thank you Mr. Tiber and Bonaparte. Hey, I never knew, this fort is Portuguese! From the on Bonaparte linked to. If it's true and still standing, I might have to visit it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted January 29, 2007 I've resized one just for you Mr. Phes. Excellent work Mr Bonaparte! Although its probably safe to make the images 800 x 600 so if you should feel inclined to resize any images in the future then you can make them a little bigger. But what you've done is marvelous so we send you many thanks! I've also created two new tutorials which can be found in the How to create thumbnails & Improving Links thread.

Norrington Posted January 29, 2007 I just noticed, when playing Age of Empires 3, (My favorite real time stragetegy game), When in the Portugeuse home city, it's on the shore to the left of the main city. Could Mr. Tiber, who's mentioned he played AOE 3 before, post a screen shot? My AOE3 disc seems to have skedadeled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted January 29, 2007 You're Portuguese ImperialScouts? Yes. I am. Born in the USA with a Portuguese heritage. Pretty much 100% Portuguese. My entire family is in Portugal. The more you know ;-) . Unfortunately, I know very little Portuguese, but I'm getting there, I'm getting there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonaparte Posted January 29, 2007 Here is the original brickshelf gallery: Torre de Belem brickshelf gallery Who can add this to the first post :-D ? Maybe it would also be better to change the name of this thread to Torre de Bellem? Btw, the builder is an active member of this forum: LBaixinho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted January 30, 2007 Imperial Scouts and Mr Tiber are quite capable of adding that link to the first post. It appears neither of them has cleaned up the first post on this thread yet and I would be most annoyed if I have to do it myself because there is a much more important project I should be working on. But anyway... Lets discuss this fort What splendid architecture it possesses - so subtle yet very effective. It would be good if LBaixinho was here to discuss this wonderful creation with us.

Norro Posted January 30, 2007 It is nice to see some skilled building techniques like the angled cliff face and wall used so smoothly in a fort MOC. I'm still missing the yellow though... God Bless, Nathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scouty Posted January 30, 2007 I think the second one is better, for it's more detail, but it is bigger than the first one. And thanks Bonaparte for posting the real Torre de Bel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LBaixinho Posted February 10, 2007 Hi, sorry for enter on the discussion later. Only today a friend told me about this topic :) My Torre de Belem is more older than the Bob Carney version. I started work on 2003, and the pic you see is about an 2004 version. I try to build a minifig scale of the tower and not to do a scaled real version like Bob did. So the final result is that Bob' building is far better and real :) I have a little report of the various versions i made on my blog blog (portuguese). And this is a pic of my lastest version: Thanks for the comments. Sorry my bad english :) Link with lot of pics. LBaixinho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
