Simple Castle MOCS (Good)

[iamded]

So, since the release of this great new Castle line, KK has been completely disregarded. I took down my neat little KK shelf-top display (along with the small Viking boat set) and smashed up the sets for rebuilding, to accommodate the few '07 Castle sets I had.

Now, I've posted the evil side, on to the good!

The main attraction here is the Blacksmith/Armour Shop. The build is basic, and it doesn't really have a roof, but that's how I build them. For playability really. Get some plates, stick on some bricks and burps, secure them to each other and you have an iamded style building! Not for detailed MOCs mind you. :-P

The Blacksmith's workshop. I used the Mistlands Tower design for it, it's good enough. The Armour shop chose yellow for it's flag colour, as that's the colour of the Town Guard, it's main customers. :-D

The shop area. A more detailed story based description of this building can be found here.

Every town needs lookout towers, even if it's a 1 shop town. Like this one. This particular tower has enough room for all the Town Guard to cower on, and a catapult to fire at the enemy wall. Surprisingly, they managed to land a hit on the enemy wall. (Can be seen in the evil thread of this.)

Bridge. Not much to say, other than it's kinda falling apart, due to lack of maintenance.

The bridge can only carry people across, so for an excuse as to how the siege equipment got across, I threw together this crane. You know, it's hard to make a crane out of scrap KK pieces, and a boat.

Another guard tower. Where the archers sit and snipe off stray skellies.

And the custom siege equipment. The Royal Catapult, Town Guard's Catapult Ram, and the Viking's catapult.

Now, the inhabitants of this small town. (First off, completely disregard the KK storyline. These guys are all on the same team, different colours discern different ranks.)

The Town Guard. Colour: yellow. Logo: dragon.

Town Guard: Archery Division. Colour: blue. Logo: serpent.

Royal Guard. Colour: blue/silver. Logo: crown, eagle for the King.

The Knight brothers. Colour: red. Logo: bull.

Hobo and Blacksmith.

Viking allies.

Great use of the castle pieces. Cool idea to make army groups. I feel sorry for the blacksmith though.

Having to where armor in a hot room like that. :-D

Iamed: you really did a good job designing a nice MOC with KK pieces. I have a lot of difficulty with these larger KK pieces and am impressed with how you put them together well. Most impressive is the detail of the interior, which really looks great. Most excellent!

Wow thanks Brickster! That really means a lot. I got the Skeleton Tower today, now my shelf feels complete. :-D

Really cool, except for the crane. I think u should scrap it. The collection would still be amazing without it.
