Nocturnites,

I don't know how much I'll be building in the next 2-3 months either, got to build 3 things for the Sydney Brick Show and work is as busy as it ever gets!!

Think I'm going to sit out the third challenge and make some small free builds instead to help develop the Nocturnus environment.

Oleg,

DrRod

For Abbysian I think it should have ancient looking stone buildings along with some tudor buildings. It should be walled in and at the gate there should be some huge amphibious monster. I definetly think we should  build it micro scale first like what Mitgardia is doing with their capital

[Artanis I]

I like Hersbrucker's pic as an idea, but with more sludge, and fire mountains instead of that much snow.

You guys are WIPn it good. I haven't even started ...

Kaliphlin is closing the gap! Lets get some more Nocturnus and Mitgardia builds going  

[turtleman2020]

Do WIPs for challenges count as free builds? Also are the shores of nocturnus tropical?

I don't think so

If you can explain this in your fantasy, why not  

I destroyed my actual Moc for the challenge, because I had some other ideas for building it better  

But I will show you tomorrow my Ghost Ship, to earn points to our Nocturnian account  

[Angeli]

Tasty minifigs should also bring us some points - not sigfigs and their armies, other monsters and villains that we made ;)

Ok, here it is  

[Hersbrucker]

Ok, here is a new WIP, I start new with my Treasure Hunt  



That will be Chapter 1 of 2  

Maybe I have to build these suspension bridge by myself

[Balthasar]

nice rockwork. You should definantly build a bridge yourself. There are so many pretty bridge designs possible.
If you want the hanging bridge, here are two examples:



Or use other wooden bridge designs. SoT's bridge is awesome with little gaps between the planks:



good luck with the challenge! I must say that I liked your first idea with the ziggurat-design.

[Hersbrucker]

Ok thanks, I figured something out  

[Kayne]

I agree that brick built structures always look better, and I think that your bridge added to your WIP wonderfully!  Keep up the good work!

Looks awesome, great rockwork and stairs!  Looking forward to seeing more of this build!

[I Scream Clone]

I'm liking the WIP pics much better, your skills are improving nicely Hersbrucker, don't let up till it's perfect.

[Hersbrucker]

Thank you, I'm working on my button "MOC expert!"  

[Angeli]

that bridge is GREAT :)

btw, check Elesee-Luna moonkeep, I've uploaded some 40 to 50 celestials (and one bad guy ;)

If it was up to me, you'd have it!  Along with quite a few other people in Historica, actually.

Who makes the badges/tags actually?  It would be nice to get a Historica badge for everyone who's an active Historica member / builder.

This may well come to fruition, just wait and see I guess, though if it does happen they will only be handed out to those who have been constant and valuable members ( we're looking pretty good in here) as far as participation/member ratio goes Nocturnus is a strong guild. Keep up the good work guys, and lets win this third challenge!

oh, do not worry, we are going to. The Drow are going to build (and burn for photo:) the biggest and goodiest city yet ;) If I succeed, I will build a more then 1m long bridge that will hold itself on four studs ;) with hanging tower, it will bi half a meter high ;) but I am building and it is a question if it will hold ;)

Just look at the new moonkeep, there are almost 50 new minifigs, and few of them I count amongst the best I've made; for the first time I build not to play, but just for show; and the whole city is going to sit on a real lego clouds. I do not say it will win, because there are some great builders in all four guilds, but I am sure that we can arrange to assassinate, bribe, scare of wed anyone that is better ;) Drow rule supreme!

And also, there could be some feedback with ideas, what could I build in this city
Heavenly garden? What could it contain? Water, obviously, lot of fountains, a great tree (I'm building that, with spiral stairs around it:); some exotic plants?

What kind of interaction? What could angels do? They will sing (obviously:), make sculptures, garden the plants, what more? (Some will fight with the Drow:)

Other ideas? Could Drow "blight" the clouds over whom they walk? (Yep, this are "walking" clouds, if they can withstand a castle, they can also hold few Drow:) Anything that comes to your mind, I can incorporate, or develop with a team (and I have a sexy little helper that promised to pose near the castle when it is over - with a Drow mask and a sword;)

Also, if someone has a PaB in their vicinity, I would need a cup filled with 1x1 and 1x2 red plates, I could pay via paypal, so contact me trough pm, please

We are small in numbers, but so are diamonds, and they are worth much more then  simple rocks;) let's beat those silly members from opposing guilds!

;)

[Hersbrucker]

hmpf  

Hope I get my MOC for challenge three finished.
My time is running away

Fellow guildmembers,

Here is freebuild for our mighty guild. The Black Knights wargalley "Wyvern's Cough". I thought it was about time that the Claw Breakers got some company in the fleet-building business of Nocturnus.


This is the last vision which an Avalonian-treehugger will enjoy, before it's time for him to start swimming.

Hail Nocturnus.

I have posted the prelude to my challenge III entry.

http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=68208

Enjoy!

[Hersbrucker]

That is a great start Jareth  
I'm pleased to see your next episode  

One inquiry from me  

Can we expand the building time for challenge III with 2 weeks????  
I need more time for building  

[Tazmaniac]

I've almost finished my entry for challenge 3...just a few more builds to go. Let me know what you think so far (there will be a story linking all those builds together of cause).
