All of the minifigures without visible flesh necks on their torsos are useful without their heads and arms, if you are pro-yellow.

I think they're all pretty good (except for Riddles for the Ring, which is underwhelming). I'm just going to wait and see what goes on sale.

If you are MOCing large rocks...

All of the LotR/Hobbit sets are fantastic for GoH MOCing (Hobbit more-so).

With this post, I must say, it's been quite a good KNIGHT!

you know when you build something but you don't find it good and build something else? in the last fortnight I have built 3 creations that are true to that.
I also built some sci-fi but that isn't really guild-related...at all.

Well, it turns out that my B-day was 5 days ago, got some cash and sets, and now I am ordering the parts for a super duper secret Lego project! Kinda Avalonia related, kinda LOTR inspired, all 100% based on a story written by me. should be a nice build revealed at BF AL if I finish in time.......

That looks great! Really fabulous work. Love the antique look and the border. I'm too lazy right now to try to decipher the border, but maybe will take a crack at it tomorrow (unless someone just wants to post it). It must have taken forever to hand draw all those shoreline waves!

tell the truth, the runes are mainly jiberish (didn't want to spoil the fun but I figured it might save you an hour or so)
there is made by david, by legonardo and trolololo in there though!
here is the High res version for those with big screens.
each wave, mountain and tree was individuality drawn, I think its fair to say I've had enough of photoshop for a while :laugh:

That map is top notch LD! It feels so old and so much like an Avalonian map!

Any special reason why you removed the county borders? To blurry?

I would have kept them if there were only 3 or 4, btu there are so many that they took away the authentic look.

Looks like we're firing on all cylinders again with DC and BB back!

Legonardo - that is a beautiful map! I don't envy the amount of time you had to put into it - I tried my hand at it, and failed miserably.

We haven't been seeing many title builds for Avalonia lately. I keep putting mine off, but I'm going to have to get going so I can finish up most of them before Challenge VI ends. Anyone else going to be completing any of these? I know some of you have most of them completed already.

I am working on "King of the Castle" and "Sheriff of Avalonia" right now.

i have all of them apart from the agriculture one, which I will do, I just don't have the foliage to do so... yet and I fret about doing the whole farm being sown sort of thing as I did that in my challenge 4
also speaking of titles, I know bonus titles aren't supposed to be asked for, but is it possible i get the cartography one?
EDIT: black and white horses in the Lone ranger! (+ more brown ones!)

The only avalonia challenge I have left is the King of the Castle one. I have an idea but I've been busy the last few weeks and not had as much time as I would like to devote to it.

I also had my oldest daughter want me to build her a little red ridding hood scene so I have been piddling around with that.

I have a couple other builds I want to do, both in Circardia and Varlyrio, but again time is limiting me right now.

I have the A.T.C. warehouse on the edge of completion, but as it has a strong defence it can almost count as a castle with a warehouse inside it. :laugh:

It almost looks like this..

The picture shows the Bastille in Paris, before the French revolution.
The warehouse however consists of the same kind stone defence towers, but wooden walls seperating them.
And it's not surrounded by water, and it's slightly higher.

Still, there is some work to be done!
